Weekes: Zadorov requested a trade

[Some Other Flame]

That seems like a massive overpayment

Oh it is but again, Treliving. Always. Gets. His. Guy.*

*Offer only valid for participating defenceman, which is all of them. Number one centers and/or impact forwards not eligible for this deal.

 

[CanadienShark]

Buddy doesn't seem the calibre of player to go around asking for trades without a VERY good reason.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up here seeing as he's one of Treliving guys.

Hopefully he comes with Chris Tanev or Markstrom too because the Leafs don't have a perfect defense, not by a long shot but holy shit do they need a goaltender.

 

[thaman8765678]

Probably a combination of the locker room drama and the Flames not being interested in talking about an extension.

He sees the writing on the wall.

I will miss him though, he is the one upcoming free agent who actually wanted to sign in Calgary.

zadarov for beau? plus a pick to make the money work?

 

[Puckstop40]

Come back to Colorado

 

[stevo61]

Jake Bean + 2nd round pick?

No thanks as a Canucks fan. Patience.

 

[Mike Jones]

It's best to wait until the trade deadline before moving him. He's a pending UFA and will probably bring the highest return then.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Klingberg & 1st for Zad

 

[Some Other Flame]

How good is Zadorov? Legit top 4 guy?

Honestly, he's a solid #5 that can play in the top four here and there but struggles massively defensively in extended stints against serious competition. But he still wants to be paid like like a bonafide top four guy (5M+) which is why the Flames, in what is frankly a pleasant surprise, weren't all that keen on re-signing him.

Is it an IQ issue or what? He’s a good skater for the size.

Thanks.

Lots of smoke the Canucks covet him, but to me it doesn't make a ton of sense given we signed Soucy to a multi-year deal who is kinda that same caliber of player.

Love Zads game but if were giving up assets Tanev makes alot more sense, we need a righty.

 

[Fogelhund]

Zadarov for Klingberg as the basis.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The Flames defense core is going to look real ugly after they trade Tanev, Hanifin and Zadorov by the deadline.

Gilbert - Weegar
Solovyov - Andersson
Osterle - DeSimone

Yikes.

 

[Lunatik]

The agent leaked that Zaddy had approached the Flames for an extension, recently the Flames stop negotiating extensions, and now he asked for a trade. I don't think it is a coincidence.

 

[Paddys Pub]

He wants to be in Vancouver.

Beauvillier 10% retained
Woo
3rd

Zadorov.

Couple of upcoming UFAs around the same cost.
Flames need scoring, Zadorov wants to be a Canuck and they could use him.

 

[super6646]

Guy is a #5 and probably wants #3 money.

Good decision to sell high imo. If we can get a second I’ll be happy.

The tweet literally says Toronto…

I could see those pieces involved but if those pieces are involved it's not just Zadorov

Defensive IQ isn't great I guess. Makes a lot of poor & questionable decisions defensively that will be frustrating. But the physicality and random offensive rushes is what makes him a fan favorite anyway.

I am sure they will get a D back from another team but point taken.

 

[Canucks LB]

His agent is Dan Milstein…. Milstein happens to also be an AGM for the Canucks. Pretty obvious where he’s going.

Would be such a nice fit

Soucy can play the right side

 

[Bond]

More like a 4/5. Maybe he progresses but he makes a lot bad reads

 

[Some Other Flame]

His agents tweets and the request to Toronto are telling; dude wants to pad his offensive numbers so get a bigger payday. Good luck to the organization that falls for that trap
