Zadorov Has Rejected A 4 5m X 4 5 Yr Offer from Canucks Both Sides Want to Get A Deal Done Asap

[UrbanImpact]

According to Rink Wide ( Jeff Pattersson, Irffan Gaffar of 4th period)

https://www.canucksdaily.com/nhl-te...ns-down-contract-extension-offer-from-canucks

The Canucks offered Big Z a contract last week worth 4.5 million for 4/5 years. Offer was apparently rejected but its been reported that both sides want to get a contract done asap.


What do you think Big Z settles with? Either the Canucks go up on AAV or they give more term on years and make it a 6-7 year deal.

4.5 mil AAV would be a very good team deal for the Canucks.

I think there are teams out there that are very much in love with how Big Z plays and would offer around 5.5-6mil per year.

Canucks cant let him get to July 1st and allow Big Z to see those other offer but perhaps hes willing to take less to be in Vancouver.

 

[hockeykicker]

didnt he say he wanted 6x6?

 

[BonMorrison]

5.25/5

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

Add a year, 4.5M for 6 years, then move on to signing Lindholm.

 

[stl76]

I hope they get a deal done, player and team seem like such a great fit. Can’t see Zadorov signing for less than 5$ x 5 tho.

 

[Peter Griffin]

didnt he say he wanted 6x6?

Wasn’t that Serevalli who said that? He also said Pettersson would get over $12M.

 

[Bond]

He wanted 5x5 from the Flames

 

[UrbanImpact]

didnt he say he wanted 6x6?

No, he said stop listening to Edmonton reporters......

if he wants 36 mil then Van can do : 5mil AAV x 7..... but i dont think they go above 5mil AAV

 

[Raistlin]

Seravalli is probably the guy Zadorov asks you not to pay any attention to.

While looking up his spelling, just realized the guy is only 36 but looks like Bob Mackenzie.

 

[Forge]

If he thinks he can get 6x6 on the market, this seems like a fairly large gap?

Thats probably where the City itself plays a factor and Vancouver hopes to have an edge being where the city is regarded on a world level.

His family has absolutely fallen in love with Vancouver the city according to Zadorov himself.

Signing Zadorov and letting Hronek walk seems like a decision they'll regret for years

They haven't even seen him give up and start whining yet.

 

[Mobiandi]

I like Z. I’m not sure Canucks fans will like him when his new contract comes in

Why does it have to be one or the other?

They dont even play the same side.

Canucks can easily choose to sign both and let Lindholm/Joshua walk and replace those players via free agency.

 

[Craig Button]

BradTre is going to give more money than that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the leafs will make 5.5-6M x 7 offer

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Canucks would be wise to let someone else pay what he wants.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is going to be Vancouver's version of the Ryan Graves contract.

 

[LordBacon]

If he wants more than 5mil/yr the terms gonna be shorter.

Don’t price yourself out of the team Zads

Frank is from Philly, not Edmonton. He just works a lot with guys from Edmonton.

Z would be a great signing for Vancouver. Good fit and he has played well.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Lol please sign him to 6 a year nothing would be better than seeing that blow up in their faces.

For Canuck fans not to like his new contract, i think the AAV would have to start with a 6.

I think most Canucks fans would be happy with an AAV of around 4-5.75 mil AAV

Big Z is an absoloute monster. He is a bully when it becomes playoff time. Canuck fans absoliutely love what he brings to the table, the contract would have to be extremely overpaid for them not to like it.

Also lets be honest, winning changes perception. Look at the Oilers for example, is anyone complaining that Darnell Nurse has 2 points in the playoffs and is a minus player while making 9+ milll?

Canucks will be happy with the contract as long as they continue to progress and go deeper in the playoffs.

 

[kcunac]

I’ll take him at 5x5 max and hopefully less, which seems probable given the rumour.

Oiler fans constantly dream of what they could do with nurses cap space.

Like ya it's not going to cripple a team it's just not ideal

2 thoughts on this.

1. The whole purpose of some players taking less , or being on a team friendly contract is so that the team can spend the extra money elsewhere and perhaps overpay. With the Likes of Hughes, Miller and Demko being on extremely very good team friendly contracts, the Canucks can somewhat overpay elsewhere. Giving Big Z a 500k-1mil overpayment would certainly be worth it in my books with what he brings to the team.

2. 6mil? Canucks hates Myers contract of 6mil, but Myers played like an absolute beast these playoffs and was actually worth the 6mil this season. Big Z probably played like a 7mil dman for the Canucks. As long as he plays like he did, 6mil wouldnt even be so bad especially with cap going up. 6mil certainly isnt enough to "blow up in their face"

I think Z takes less than 6mil AAV and gives Van a discount.

Please make it to UFA…. Ducks are hoping to overpay and we need big Z to play with Mintyukov!
