Vyacheslav Kozlov arrived in the NHL as an early Third Round Pick in 1990, and after bouncing back and forth between the minors and the parent club, Kozlov was ready to stay in the 1993-94 Season with a 73 Point Season.
The Red Wings added a plethora of Russian talent, and Kozlov was part of the famed "Russian Five," a situation which allowed him to thrive. The Left Wing had another 73-Point year (1995-96) and later helped Detroit win back-to-back Stanley Cups (1997 & 1998).
Kozlov scored 415 Points for the Red Wings, with his run ending when he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres for their disgruntled Goalie, Dominik Hasek.
Traded to the Buffalo Sabres with Detroit’s 2002 1stRound Pick (which was later traded to Columbus, who traded it to Atlanta, who took Jim Slater) for Dominik Hasek 7/1/01.
