Curious as to what Zadorov signs for. If it's the rumoured 6 then that's not a good deal but if he signs for 4 then that's fantastic work by Boston and a mistake by Vancouver.

 

[Strangle]

I hope everyone shitting on the leafs for the Tanev deal are ready to do the same on this one

 

[Canucks LB]

6 YEARS?!

Nucks

Offered around 5

 

[mikelvl]

6 times 5m

 

[DJJones]

Lindholm was a great signing, this one will be to much imo

 

[ViD]

I don’t know, looks about what was expected

6 times 5m

 

[Pengu]

Will be a bad deal. Dunno if he even is a top 4 d man

 

[TMLegend]

Way too much money and term for a bottom pairing D.

 

[AvatarAang]

Glad we pumped Zad and Linds value so they could fleece Boston. Neither player will move the needle over 82 and get you firmly into a playoff spot

lol didn’t take long for canucks fans to turn on lindholm and zadorov

Why are you trying to tell boston how to make the playoffs? They beat your team in the Stanley cup finals and just sniped two of your players that played well during the playoffs, seems like boston is improving their team and vanouver’s team is getting worse.

 

[BergyWho37]

The East is gonna need to keep your heads up..

 

[UConn126]

B's blueline has to be the best in the NHL after this signing.

Lohrei-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Zadorov-Peeke
Wotherspoon

Pairs obviously subject to change, but this is definitely the biggest group they've had in a while + Lohrei adds an offensive element that they haven't had since Krug. He was their best player for a lot of the playoffs.

 

[OilerTyler]

The Oilers chased him right out of the Pacific/West

 

[Some Other Flame]

Brutal

 

[Shane Diesel]

LOL Boston

 

[Rubi]

Another overpayment by Boston today. First Lindholm and now his teammate Zadorov.

Im just being honest. These 2 players made their presence felt in the playoffs. Lindholm was invisible in the regular season. Ask Calgary fans about 82 game Zadorov.

 

[crazychimp]

If Boston makes the playoffs which they have proven time and time again they can this is a great signing. Regular season Zadorov you may notice much but playoff Zadorov he proved he’s a beast and plays with a lot of passion.

 

[Grantham]

He beat the crap out of you guys, you should be thankful he's out east now.

Gonna be miss big Z. I think 5m is fine and will be a bargain in a couple years for a player with his unique skill set. Solid defensively, great skater, baddest man in the game. Would've loved him back in Van

Thanks for the memories big guy. You were here for a short time but you'll never be forgotten

The Oilers chased him right out of the Pacific/West

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Big contract as expected. Boston will love him.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Way too much for a 3rd pairing D who will be slower than molasses in a couple of years

 

[veganbruin]

I think Sweeney blew his/his agents socks off with this one. Hope it works out. That’s a lot of time and money for someone who will be our 3 LHD…

 

[Bounces R Way]

Decent upgrade on Gryz and Forbort, Boston has been lacking a physical presence like him for a while. Not afraid to jump up and contribute offensively either. Would rather have this contract on my books than Tanev for 6 years.

Can't call him Big Z tho that's taken

 

[ref19]

Holy cow. That’s a lot of cheddar for the player
