"We're pleased to have Anatolii and Dario signed and ready to go for the season," Hansch said. "We're excited to have them on the ice working with our coaches and becoming familiar with their new teammates."

Elizarov, Edmonton's first round pick in this summer's import draft (29th overall), is a 6-2, 197-pound defenceman from Russian. The 17-year-old played 21 games last season for Dynamo St. Petersburg in the Russian MHL junior league.
