Rumor: Canucks confirm that Zadorov will be hitting the market on July 1

[bringbacktheskate604]

This saves money for the Canucks to over pay someone else July 1

Didn't you say they would overpay on Z?

Go after Brendan Dillon

And the Canucks had a legit shot to win the cup as a result. I don't think anyone has an issue with what they paid.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

They are still negotiating. This is just another move as both player and team want it to work.

No, but I think everyone over pays on July 1

Welcome to Los Angeles!

a 5 million dollar player in Vancouver is making less than a 5 million player in a random US State.

our management has known this for a while, this is why in the past players considered the extra taxes of playing in Vancouver. For example, I think Joshua would have settled for 3 million if it was US market but due to extra tax it became 3.25.

now that said, Zadarov is an awesome player for certain things and is extremely effective against certain types of teams. however, I don't few him as a top 4 dman, never did when we got him. Flames fans were telling us something we already knew. he wasn't a top 4 guy, wasn't one than wasnt one after the playoffs either. 5 million for 3rd line pairing is just too much, and I love Zaddy, and I wish him the best.

It doesn't matter how much space we have. we could have 25 million in cap room right now, wether its 14 million of 25 million. Alvin already said he's not going to overpay a player. in this case, we will never know what was Vancouvers final offer vs what was Zadarov asking from the Canucks. Either way hes gone, im kinda sad. I am. but I don't want to overpay for a player also.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Yeah, my guess on his UFA deal is 5M per for 6 years. If I was Zadaorov I would sign that deal from Vancouver. 4.75X4? Not a chance.

Fair enough. Big Z is well within his rights to test the market and as a Nucks fan who’ll miss him, no ill will towards him.

Absolutely love what Allvin is doing. We’ve seen what happens when you overpay depth players here, and it’s not pretty. Allvin has already had a very good offseason

 

[notsocommonsense]

Alvin decided. What a clown. Sounds like sour grapes on arguably their best dman in the playoffs.

Ok JB, enjoy the rest of your “retirement”

I don't understand them laughing at us for trading a 1st round pick to bolster our line up for a cup chase. We werent the only team to do this. This is a positive sign that we are on the right track, of course we didn't win it. only 1 team is gonna win the cup, does it mean sit on our ass? in hindsight I wish the Canucks in 2011 actually traded schroeder and the 1st round pick in 2011 to bolster our line up even more. Calgary is trending differently, they stock piling picks, canucks trying to win now, will trade young players to make a push. Nothing wrong with what they are doing.

Those comments are always so stupid. Zadorov and Lindholm were instrumental in going to game 7 of the second round. Just because you don’t win doesn’t mean it wasn’t a worthy shot.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Good decision by the Nucks.

 

[Jozay]

Treliving dropping 6x6 is so obvious

 

[eviohh26]

I still don't feel bad about trading Brzustewicz. I don't rate him very high.

 

[theMajor]

god i f***in hope the kings can snag him, id be so happy

In terms of competitive teams with lots of cap space and a need for a LHD, LA is probably one of the top 3 teams able to land him.

 

[Fulham]

This is exactly the contract you don't sign. The Canucks milked great value out of Zadorov.

He isn't the player we saw in the playoffs over 82 games on a mid team.
Yet good for him, he will be paid like it.

I feel like he is a bro, and he knows he will get paid. Good for him!

but looking at it analytically as a fan its a horrible idea to sign him long term. The team that will get the best out of him is the one he's traded too with heavy retention lol.

I feel some teams can afford the contract. But the Canucks cannot. I really liked him but I cant justify paying top dollar. He is a good player for what he brings. I don't have a clue how he will age .

Kuzmenko is a cap dump
1st is late
One decent prospect, a3rd and 5th and a shit prospect to try to win the cup

Seems fair

Exactly lol

 

[canuckslover10]

with the rising cap and his playoff performance plus him being super tall makes me believe he will get 6X6 in the UFA market.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Love Big Z but if he’s asking for what he’s reported to be asking for, wise to step away as much as I wish we could keep him.

Good for him.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Man, sad to see him go, I really liked what he brought to the table. Hopefully we can find a decent replacement.

 

[tucker3434]

This is his big payday. He should see if he can trick a team into giving him that second pairing money/role. For a rebuilder in desperate need of competent blue liners with cap to spare, it wouldn’t be the worst idea. But it would be the worst idea for a contender.

 

[RandV]

I don't know but I feel like Utah is going to sign him now. With their aggressive acquisitions Zadorov feels like a logical fit to round out their top 4.
