Player Discussion Nikita Zadorov

[Hookslide]

Strong game in Detroit

That’s the guy I wanted

Minor point, he has had a habit of drifting into the corner unnecessarily after the puck carrier, but I noticed one time in particular, that stop himself and stayed and protected the net, a little but positive sign.

This I agree with . Two great clears on the PK at the end of the game . A player that can be a great asset . Just needs not to try and do to much .

You are right, must play within himself.

It's a change in strategy after the coaching change.

You could often find two defencemen below the goal line under Monty. Under Sacco, one always stays net front and a forward attacks with a defenceman.

It's not perfect yet. There will be an adjustment period.

For Zadorov in particular, he was already learning a new system, then 20 games later learning another new system all over again.

Worth every penny . Exactly what the team needed .

I think with their new attention to detail and layers, he's going to look great by the all-star break

Bruins are built for heavy grind - simple structured D ~ layers infront of G and get it up and out

Good luck Blues I hope you got a lot of 5’10 guys - Monty will love you

Him settling in and getting comfortable would be yuge. Cautiously optimistic about Zaddy and the rest of the guys now.

The team D will benefit from the new HC. Especially Carlo and Zad
