Would have rather Schmidt who went to Winnipeg for the same price. His AAV is higher then what Zadorov’s will be but I feel more comfortable with him in our top 4
30, sure. 40 is pretty optimistic.Phat Ras should break 30 points if not 40. He'll be the top go-to option on the PP now.
Yeah I didn't realize until today that he's only 26. That's still developing for a player of his ilk.Love this acquisition. Price was fair.
Our backend is missing a bruiser, Gio was our toughest guy last season and we added some muscle and size. Zads is still youngish, I am happy he's a Flame.
Uhh, he spent 5 years in Colorado, that's not "moving on regularly"Without a look- this guy looks like a proper journeyman if my memory serves well. If teams are moving you on regularly- there is something imbalanced with you....another shite move by our fantastic GM... 3rd pick is way more valuable...

Most 3rd rounders don't even play in the nhl, I'm not the biggest fan of Zadorov fan and ideally he plays on the 3rd pairing but if a 3rd rounder turned into zadorov we'd all be over the moon. I'm happy with the deal especially considering it was 5 games of Rittich for zadorovYou don't need to waste a 3rd for a truly mediocre dman. Not to mention it's like the last thing we needed.
i'm not about to make a 2022 3rd round pick appreciation thread, but if he gets his QO, his value is lower than a 7th pick. I doubt he has some untapped potential, he is who he is at this point. A 3rd round pick value is never negative.Most 3rd rounders don't even play in the nhl, I'm not the biggest fan of Zadorov fan and ideally he plays on the 3rd pairing but if a 3rd rounder turned into zadorov we'd all be over the moon.

We lost 3 minutes a night of pking from Gio, I'd pay a 3rd just to help the pki'm not about to make a 2022 3rd round pick appreciation thread, but if he gets his QO, his value is lower than a 7th pick.

That was basically the motto of the '04 Flames too. Even if you lose, you get your pound of flesh. Zadorov is at the very least, decent, defensively. And mean as hell. I wouldn't be surprised to see him lay some of the biggest hits we've seen since prime-Regehr or early Dion. If we could get him 3x3, I'd be fairly happy.I like this move (depending on contract). Dudes mean, if we can’t be good, might as well be tough.

Also worth noting, this might be one of the better defensive corps he's played with in his career.
People forget that the time he spent in Colorado was essentially rebuilding years and uncertain stardom years for Mac.
He only got one year of being on a really good Colorado team.
you must have short memory
How many times did we get pinned and can’t get out of our zone to save our lives
Our defense is good on paper only. Except for Tanev, they all have lots of growing to do
Hanifin - Tanev will be the first pairing.
They were absolutely dynamite for us last year and will likely be asked to do the heavy lifting again.
Zadarov will get the secondary assignments, which is what I was more pointing at.
I think Zadorov will be tasked with 3rd pairing duties + heavy PK usage.
Calgarypuck seems to think he's going to get 4×4-5 million a year.
There's no chance he commands that, right? He played 19 minutes a game last season on a worse team than us and nothing suggests he's more than a bottom pairing guy at this point.
