If you really want him, you trade for him, otherwise who knows where he ends up.

Plus, as a rental the team acquiring him is looking to fill a need for the playoffs.

Well, the season is 12 games in so there's lots of movement from now till March 8th. Teams making a move now might not be in the playoffs by March 8th so no, your suggestion of trading for an asset for a potential rental so early in the season before deadline makes no sense when you consider how fast teams are moving up and down the standings.

He wants a lot of things - probably to be on a good team and an extension - but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a contract.


Yeah no - lots of people will tell you can't just say whatever nonsense comes out from your skull.

Out of morbid curiosity, why would anyone listen to a random person on the internet who thinks they should be allowed to control what other people can say?

Lol you should really apply that second sentence to yourself. Too hard to connect that he wanted to sign his next contract?

I figure it'll be January before he gets moved, in an early rental type of situation.

You are under the mistaken impression that he has any say in the matter.

Not even including the decision to re sign as an extension or agree to a new contract : lots of players can say where they go particularly those that need contract extensions - if a team senses he has no interest in playing for them during critical times including the playoffs - even as a rental - it'd be hard to imagine them making a solid offer.



But that's just common sense, who knows what you'd be thinking otherwise....

Florida's 2nd & Colorado's 3rd?
The 'Yotes don't need no retention.

I'd do that. Flames don't have to take any bad contracts and save retention spots for Hanifin, Lindholm, & Tanev. Meanwhile, Zadorov probably gets a better chance to showcase himself in Arizona.

Although with the Coyotes glut of picks, I'd try and see if they could get Washington's 2nd and/or the Oilers 3rd.

Sure.... common sense.. LOL. You should look for yours.
He was interested in extending with Calgary except they've put a hold on all extension talks. I'm pretty sure he'd be interested in signing with most other teams assuming the offer was fair. We're not talking about a top pairing dman here.

Exploring a contract extension in the past isn't an indication that he wants to re sign now. In fact, the only thing we do know is that his agent has signaled that he wants to leave.

as for what you're "pretty sure" about is pointless, you don't know - the only thing you're saying is you're sure about your dumb guess but have no basis for it.
 
Post game interview last night and Zadorov refused to say he asked for a trade. He said he supports his agent and that he loves Calgary and the team. Said this is business and his livelihood.

Reading between the lines, my take is that whatever path negotiations with Conroy were taking, the $$ amount wasn't high enough for his agent. Hence the agent turned up the heat on Conroy.

That may or may not work. It might even backfire as the level of interest (hence the price) in Zadorov appears to be high.

Personally, I think the Flames should re-sign him and trade Hanifin. A lot of people don't believe Zadorov can be a second pair guy. I think he can.
