Rumor: Zadorov on the Move again? | Update: #138

[SEALBound]

Its real.

Jesus people, "taking calls" and "actively shopping" are two different things.

GMs get calls on various players all the time. It's part of the game and business. GMs for playoff-bound teams wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't call and ask about Zadorov.

Lots of smoke

Lots of smoke

Brough has no inside contacts, he admits as much. He is no more an insider than Taj. There is a 10 day break with nothing for these guys talk about.

Why do you keep fanning the flames of this thread you created? Let it die

Zadorov isn't going anywhere, deal with it

I can see why Zadorov would be disappointing once you see him every game. From the highlight reels alone, he looks like a legit top 4 d-man with offence and a massive physical presence. However, he's really more of #5 that can step up into a #4 position. He somewhat frequently makes mistakes and gets caught flat footed. His offence is inconsistent.

That being said, despite these faults, he's also exactly what you want for the playoffs. His presence on the ice makes the other team wary. Sometimes his hits change the course of games. I have no idea why a team heading into the playoffs would want to flip him. Unless maybe it's part of a package to land a huge fish?

You really have to be trying hard to see what you want to see to refer to this as “lots of smoke”

Didn’t mention Pettersson either.

 

[HighLifeMan]

Its real.

Hahahah, that's rich coming from Milstein considering his handling of the Zadorov situation in Calgary.

Shut up.

 

[DJJones]

Zadorov is a really good #5 who thinks he's a #3. He's likely thinking he deserves more than Gudbranson. Which he probably does but unlikely to get it.

You'd think Vancouver would just treat him as a rental though

 

[nucksflailtogether]

I’d rather keep him. He’s been pretty fantastic and Vancouvers record with him has been excellent, don’t forget they were scuffling a bit when he arrived.

Always seems to be rumors for Canucks players usually started by someone from the east

Now is a great time to start rumors because during the break, there is less to talk about so may as well start a rumor

That being said, I'm not suggesting they aren't taking calls for him because the Canucks wouldn't be exercising their due diligence if they weren't. I'm sure there are a number of players on expiring deals that they are having discussions with other teams about.

 

[McSuper]

• I don't buy this. Even if the Canuck were told he isn't re-signing he still have more value for the playoffs. Teaches the kids what it takes to get there. Also look at how the Canucks are playing why risk losing chemistry for an average return at best. The Canuck GM has done a good job to date he isn't going to turn into a dummy over night.

Oh and there it is.. I'm serving up crow for anyone who needs to eat some.

Yeah lock this thread up. He’s not going anywhere.

Rick is saying it’s not gonna happen!
