Lindholm seems to be playing well. Zadorov looks massively overpaid.

Their play is irrelevant to my disgust but not likely zad is worth that contract.


(Lindholm was good here even when not scoring and ppls vitriol was misplaced because of acquisition cost, that wasn't really much either. Also I'd rather have kept horvat or Lindholm and moved ep to Carolina or whatever)

Who’s the better 4C option currently? Aman (24) or Raty (22)?

Aman.

You’d have to replace Heinen on the roster too so add another ~$1 million.

Realistically re-signing Zadorov would have meant him plus two ~$1 million players ($7 million) instead of Myers, Desharnais, and Heinen ($7.25 million).

Can see an argument that would have been preferable but it would have materially hurt the team’s depth.

Sounds like Zadorov would have come in a bit cheaper (I saw 4.6 million) if he signed with Vancouver which makes sense.

But ya, you are correct you probably need to get rid of Myers as well. Which would create its own issues in that finding a RD at the deadline will likely be more difficult than finding a LD. With that said, I think Zadorov over Myers in the long run is actually preferable.

All Zadorov has to do is do something he's never done before.

Not true. He was a top three defensemen for us in the playoffs. More accurately, he hasn't been able to do it for a long stretch.
