It's tough to say what you do with Zadorov IMO. I definitely think we need to wait another year before negotiating long term with him. He was still too inconsistent from night to night for my liking this season, and while he looked to be getting better at this as the season wore on, I'd still want to see one more year before committing to a long term deal yet.
The thing about Zads is he's likely never going to be a huge point producer, not with his limited PP minutes. So even if he does put together an 82 game season next year playing at the high level he's capable of, he likely still only tops out at maybe 35 points. So he wont ever get the biggest deal on his next contract regardless.
I think waiting until summer of 2019 to negotiate with him would be the better course of action. Unless you can get him to sign something that starts with a 4 for 7-8 years this summer, otherwise just see what he brings next year. At most I think he's only going to get 5.5-5.75 on his new deal.
Haha, he's quickly becoming my favorite personality on the team. He seems to have a great sense of humor and absurd confidence. I loved seeing little moments like that from Ghetto as well like in the bad dates video. I cant even imagine how much fun this team has together.I asked Z if he knew he led the league in hits today.
“Yes”
Ok then.
He likes to hit people. And score goal.I asked Z if he knew he led the league in hits today.
“Yes”
Ok then.
I kept a list of all his big hits last season so it was easy to hunt down all the highlights. Wasn’t so organized this season.Someone is going to have their work cut out putting together the Z smash highlights.

If anyone remembers a big hit off the top of their head, or a good Z sequence, I could probably make another highlight video this summer.
This is why he needs to be locked in long term asap. I don't want no f***ery, no threats of Russia. Get this shit done we have a gem here and they need to pay dude.And he played through that in the playoffs, and was our best Dman in the playoffs by far.
I cant wait to see what he's gonna bring next season.
