Weekes: Zadorov requested a trade

[therocket9]

Anaheim received Drew Helleson and a 2nd round pick from Colorado for Josh Manson and 50% retention two years ago.

And Montreal received a 1st round pick for Chiarot.

 

[John Mandalorian]

And Montreal received a 1st round pick for Chiarot.

And how did that turn out for Florida?

 

[Lunatik]

Highly doubt LA makes the move. LA management and coaching like the D-core right now even with Englund in the lineup. If he's retained at 50% than it might work but highly doubt LA moves a 1st for 3 straight years (unless it's for an Elite young goalie).

Zadorov (50%) + Vladar for Copley, Bjornfot, JAD, 2025 2nd

That suggestion actually piqued my interest and I'm not a fan of retaining on Zaddy (I'd like to save the retention spots for Lindholm, Hanifin and Tanev) or not getting a 2024 pick.

So very well done and for making a legitimately fair suggestion. Doesn't happen enough on here, and when it does it seems to get ignored.

 

[theguardianII]

If it comes down to Tonight VS Vancouver I suspect Zadorov would go to Toronto just for the fact that Vancouver is not just a conference rival, but a division rival and that does matter in a lot of cases

My thought as well BUT with the WC spot it does change the possibility making a trade more favourable.

I still think a Garland at 3.2 mil for another 3 years for Zadorov straight up is not a bad deal for Calgary.

 

[blankall]

Yeah the Flames have to be extremely picky with who can play for them, considering where they are in the standings. If they add any 2nd/3rd liners they may not position themselves well for the Stanley Cup. Especially a 2nd/3rd liner without size!

It's basically a team full of 1st liners with size - like Huberdeau.

So you're logic is the flames aren't playing well so they should have their assets for whatever they can get? That may be how the Canucks have functioned in the past, but most teams are careful with asset management and try to take contracts that will benefit the team somehow.

The Flames have twelve forwards with more points that Garland and that doesn't include Pospisol who has 2 points in three games. They aren't bumping like Ruzicka to make room for unneeded depth vets from Vancouver. Like I said no room.

Nobody cares whats the flames want bud, esp when its for a player who requested for a trade

Zadorov is in high demand and has an expiring contract. The Flames don't need to move him. Get in line with the other bidders and come up with a better offer.

 

[Stealth JD]

Tory Krug and Toronto’s 2nd

…though if Krug rejected a trade to Philly, can’t see him approving to Calgary

Except that Garland is awful and the flames do not need him at all.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Probably a 3rd round pick

Nice joke

 

[blankall]

A shootout loss to the Leafs was the backbreaker?

Zadorov has said he wants to stay in the past. The backbreaker is likely the Flames refusing to sign him to a long term contract. Since 2017, he's been on 1-2 year contracts. He's 28 now and likely wants a 6ish year deal. The Flames aren't giving him one, and he knows someone else will. So it's stay with the flames on another two year deal or cash in while he can. Obvious choice.

 

[AvroArrow]

Probably a 3rd round pick

Leafs will jump all over that. I'd be willing to go as far as Klingberg + 1st

 

[Isles72]

what are Calgarys immediate needs or would they prefer the prospect / pick route .

 

[SnapVirus]

Will be a late first. Or 2nd + a body.

 

[tunnelvision]

So just like JG, he wants out of Calgary so doesn't want to win the cup, amirite?

 

[madmike77]

The Flames are not going to take Garland. if they wanted to spend that kind of money they would have just extended Zadorov earlier in the year.

My guess is he moves for 2nd tier picks (2nd or 3rd) and/or prospects.

 

[blankall]

The flames do not need depth players. So Zadorov is part of a big move to acquire a legit first line player or the Flames will want exclusively picks and prospects, and probably just picks, as the flames are struggling to find playing time for all their prospects as it is.

So just like JG, he wants out of Calgary so doesn't want to win the cup, amirite?

They aren't offering Zadorov an 80+ million dollar contract, like the did with Gaudreau.

Yup, I like him as a player and seems like a good person. But you don't lock up term and money with a player like Zadorov. Spend it on Hanifin.

 

[BruinsJoe]

Bruins need this guy and probably going the other way need to be Grzelcyk +

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Wouldn't suprise me if he was traded to Boston for another UFA Matt Grzelcyk if the Flames could convince Grz to sign an extension there. Grz is a very good regular season player but really struggles in the playoffs, I think Z would do very well in Boston's system.

 

[oceanchild]

One, shots fired,
Two, he would look good in Van

 

[Jerkbait]

Just leave him in Toronto please.

You would think he will be a leaf very soon. The other team I would keep an eye on is Pittsburgh.

 

[Stickpucker]

The Canes could use another dman

....for depth purposes.

Lindholm and Zadarov both at 50% would be my dream haul but it would be expensive 1st+Cowan+Voit+conditional picks and either Klingberg or Domi and Bert going the other way
could end up as high as 2 1sts and 2 decent prospects if they resign also maybe conditions on Bert and Domi as well, if they find their game and kill it for the flames and the Flames resign them then its only fair there be conditions on them as well

 

[Mobiandi]

A 1st and two 2nds is the vintage Treliving offer

 

[Edgelord]

A 1st and two 2nds is the vintage Treliving offer

we don't have many 2nd's, I think Robertson, Cowan, Minten, Voit and 2024 1st is our tradable assets

 

[notbias]

I don't want him on the Leafs because I think he is another 3rd pairing D and they have enough... but if we got him, I'd love to see a couple of shifts of McCabe/Zadorov... would be people flying everywhere... has to be two of the top open ice hitters (struggling to think of too many more)
