Player Discussion Nikita Zadorov

[PB37]

Why are we only looking at minors? Can a player not get a major and not put their team short handed?

If it's a fighting major, no.

It was a rhetorical question. I'm well aware that a player can get a major without putting their team short handed. I player can also get a minor without putting their team shorthanded.

I mean it was one of the key reasons he was brought in....you know to be a DFD that would eat minutes on the PK.

And he did. Hell he lead the whole team in ice time. Not bad for a guy they brought in to be a #4/5 D.

We're only looking at minors because almost all majors are fighting majors and almost all fighting majors cancel out.

At the end of the day, the number of times Zadorov put this team shorthanded isn't all that dissimilar to several of Marchand's seasons.
