We paid Grzelcyk 3.75 to be a healthy scratch because he gets playoff flu and forgets how to play hockey. I'd rather spend for the upgrade of Zadorov who can play in the playoffs. He had 8 points in 13 games. He's also probably not going to play bottom pair.
Zadorov has played 3rd pairing his whole career. Some really good teams like Colorado tried top 4 roles and it failed. He’s a journeyman player that hops from team to team and each team has ended up moving on from him.
Everyone recognizes his physical prowess. He’s a beast. However every team has tried to get more out of him and determined that his play just wasn’t good enough to be a top 4 D and they’ve all moved on.
Will they be more fun to watch with him? 1000% absolutely.
Will they be better for it? Ehh probably not.
