According to Dhaliwal this morning:
- Canucks have been after Zadorov for a long time
-Tochett really wanted Zadorov
- Beauvaillier trade was all for Zadorov
- They got Zadorov cheap because they had cap space and cgy didnt have to retain
- They want to re-sign Zadorov to a new contract before he hits free agency
-Zadorov had Vancouver as one of his top UFA destinations if he was to hit Free Agency.
What do you think a new contract would look like? Big Z is 28 yrs old and the cap is going up.
He is probably a 4-5-6 Dman depending how good your D-core is.
According to insiders there was about 3 serious teams after Big Z ( Van, Tor, NJD) and about 10 teams that checked in. I wonder if that would force a bidding war at free agency or the interest in Big Z was strictly as a rental.
If a pylon like Gudbranson can get 4x4 as a UFA, I think Big Z can get somewhere around 3-4 years @ 4.25 -4.75 AAV.
