I mean it’s lots of value but am I the only one who thinks “hmmm…Zadorov has been pretty damn good in Boston and is just such a unique beast, not sure I’d actually pull the trigger if I’m the B’s…” Or am I simply letting my eternal Z man-crush get in the way of clearly thinking?

Lots of folks like Z a lot but have always caveated “but he’s only really effective in third pairing minutes”. Well - he’s playing the heaviest usage of his career - 20:30 per night which is absolutely top four usage and many nights he’s getting 23, 24+ minutes and is only behind McAvoy in ES usage…and he remains a 6-6, 250 pound heavyweight cruising towards a new +/- high on a team that hasn’t been a juggernaut this year.

K’Andre is younger and a true athlete who probably has a higher gear left to hit - but I’m not totally convinced he will ever be a bigger impact player (literally and figuratively) and he may very well not even be a better value by the time his extension kicks in. The rest of the pieces are an absurd steal for Boston, not trying to ignore that….but simply pose the question….do I want to deal Zadorov?
 
Zadorov til 35 at $5aav >>>>>> kandre at $6-6.5aav X 6. And I’d do this with the idea of extending frederic.

You also told me to stop when I said re-sign mikkola and get rid of lindgren
What, like 3 years ago? lol. You saving those posts?

But yeah, let's keep trading younger players for older ones. Maybe we can be the Islanders.

You listing those stats made me reflect on my anti-Zadorov bias a little bit funny enough.

I think some of his baffling decisions with the puck piss me off enough where I let those define him.

Well congrats OP. It's not as bad as your last proposal. It's still quite bad for the Rangers, but its an improvement at least.
 
It's not like K'Andre Miller is flawless, but in a lot of important ways, he's a rich man's Zadorov. Is the downgrade there worth the rest of that deal? I don't see those scales tipping right.

WTF is this....😂

An very average bottom 4 dman who can't defend and bottom 6 rental for K'Andre Miller alone is awful for NYR but then you add Othmann and Sykora on top of that 😂😂

Come on bruh!
