The Flyers will have to wait just a little while longer to get a crack at the potential free agent.
Some more news out of Russia this morning, it seems:
Nikita Zaitsev, one of the most promising Russian defenders, told R-Sport he's going to stay in the #KHL for 1 more year #NHL

The Flyers were apparently one of the frontrunners for Zaitsev's services, and Zaitsev seemed to show quite a bit of interest in the team as well.
