After Nikita Zadorov signed his 6-year contract with the Boston Bruins yesterday, he took to the media to send an important message to all Bruins fans.

He asked everyone to stop calling him by his nickname "Big Z". He asked this out out of respect and admiration for the real "Big Z", Zdeno Chara, who is a future hall-of-famer and the former long-time captain of Bruins.
