1990: The Rangers acquire a fifth-round pick in the 1990 NHL Draft from the Quebec Nordiques as compensation for Guy Lafleur signing with Quebec.
The Blueshirts use the pick to select defenseman Sergei Zubov. Zubov, considered one of the best offensive defensemen during his career posted 30 goals and 126 assists for 156 points in 165 games over a three year span for the Rangers before being traded on August 31, 1995 to the Pittsburgh Penguins with Petr Nedved for Ulf Samuelsson and Luc Robitaille.
In 1994 Zubov became one of the first four Russian-trained players to have their names engraved on the Stanley Cup alongside fellow countrymen Alexander Karpovtsev, Alexei Kovalev and Sergei Nemchinov.
