Rumor: 2023-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Season Thread

[henchman21]

Z is only (checks notes) 28.

 

[AvsCOL]

I think the Avs are in much more need of a forward, especially if Lehkonen misses some time. Patrick Kane would be a great fit.

 

[Pokecheque]

Hahaha total baller move as the kids would say. You do you, Z.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Z is only (checks notes) 28.

This is the year he breaks out, we don’t want to miss our chance!

 

[NateTheGreat]

Z didn’t really fit well when we had a much faster team who wanted to have the puck all game. Now that we’re a bigger, slower and more physical team I could see the fit being better than last time. With that being said, we need an impact forward much more than we need another D.

Like I said earlier, just play him as a power forward. We thought we had Pronger before, but we actually had Lindros

 

[Hasbro]

He also did that to Bertuzzi. He definitely is trying to get home.

Z and Dermy on a line would be cinema.

 

[Metallo]

Avs would have to move Manson to make Z fit within the cap. But if they're trading with CGY, might as well try and get Lindholm too.

Manson 4.5 m + Tatar 1.5 m = 6.0 m + OO + Foudy + 1st
for
Zadorov 3.75 m + Lindholm 2.425 m (50%) = 6.175 m

CGY calls the police.

You couldn't get this trade through on NHL23 easy mode if you tried.

Edit: but you could if you added a few 7th round draft picks probably.

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lehkonen LTIR just in time to get Kane?

 

[Balthazar]

Z is only (checks notes) 28.

See this....he's still young (in a way!)

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Zadorov isn’t the right use of cap space imo.

I also think you can fall in love with a few highlight hits and forget the warts in his game.

I hope they’re in on Kane. Obviously there’s risk there with the age and injury, but the team needs another scorer. You also don’t have to give up any assets to get him.

Ultimately, I think he ends up out East though.

 

[GeoRox89]

If we’re getting a D from Calgary getting one other than Tanev would be a missed opportunity. He’s fit right in with the Ambulanche and let Bo play on the left again

 

[Pokecheque]

I’d be thrilled beyond belief if the Avs could somehow engineer a Manson-for-Tanev swap. But that’s a pipe dream.

 

[Balthazar]

Manson isn't going to waive for a Canadian team, even less so for a struggling one like Calgary.

Z needs to go to a team that plays man defense. That’s where his game is the best.

Arizona should take a look then.

 

[Balthazar]

Arizona should take a look then.

Maybe as an UFA next summer. Tourigny looooooves big physical defensemen.

They have the cap room, are looking for legit dmen and if Zadorov is looking for as much money as possible (which wouldn't surprise me TBH) then it's kind of a good fit actually. I could see the Yotes outbidding everyone for him.

 

[The Moops]

I bet he'd waive for Edmonton. And they'd probably pay a premium for him

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Ye have little faith, Zads is only (insert current Zadorov age), he’s breaking out any time now

I knew it!!!
I knew it was going to happen this season!!!!!!
Right at the ripe age of....................28.

 

[Muffin]

Caleb Jones would be an upgrade over JJ.

 

[Ceremony]

Bring him home. You know you'd all love seeing him again.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Yup absolute no brainer right now that you go 100% in for Patty Kane. Lehkonen out long term, Drouin belonging in the ECHL and Tatar being our new Tyler Arnason.

You have to make this move and promose him that he gets to play on the 1st line with Mack and Rantanen.
