Rumor: Zadorov on the trade block.

[DJJones]

Accurate

Puck handling is great. Crazy good for someone that big

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Maybe Markstrom?

Markstrom probably wants to buyout his own contract to get away from McDavid.

 

[viper0220]

Calling Zad for Duclair lol

With the ways things are going now, it would not surprise anyone.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

We'll give you Byfield.

Say what now?

 

[viper0220]

If this is true I sure hope Conroy had buy in from owners before starting down this road.

Judging by the Toffoli deal it could be a very rocky road indeed.

(I don't disagree with what he's doing - it just seems new for the organization)

It feels like they are slowly setting themselves for a rebuild.

 

[Breakers]

Vancouver and Ian Cole apparently are already a signed and sealed contract

they arent in on this.

 

[Sendhelplease]

Years ago i wanted Canucks to grab him to pair him with Nikita Tryamkin and just have a mammoth pairing of two Nikitas. It would be carnage, good and bad with those two on a pairing. I hope someone still does that.

The Sharks could probably do that with him and Nikita Okhotyuk...

 

[themelkman]

The Sharks could probably do that with him and Nikita Okhotyuk...

Not sure Okhotyuk will be much in the NHL. He might get a callup but is probably an AHL guy

 

[Sendhelplease]

Not sure Okhotyuk will be much in the NHL. He might get a callup but is probably an AHL guy

Probably not this year but if the team wants to really commit to the Nikita pairing we are as good a spot as any. I think the team should tank and do gimmicks like that to entertain the fans.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

POJ and a 2nd in 2024 from PIT

Dubas doesn't really do grit and toughness, that changed SLIGHTY in his last season as Leafs GM b prior to that not really a thing.

Prior to that he MIGHT bring in 1 guy.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Is Calgary planning on keeping anybody? Is anybody planning on staying in Calgary?

I'm sure Calgary planned on keeping everybody but they all said no

 

[Flamesfan62]

He's pretty awful...

You obviously didn’t watch him at all last season

 

[BRobMint]

I'm sure Calgary planned on keeping everybody but they all said no

Actually Toffoli wanted a long-term deal and Conroy said no. I think Lindholm is the only player the Flames are willing to give anymore than like, two years to

 

[Laus723]

He was good last year? I didn’t get to watch him much and I realize this isn’t the end all, but if we’re using this as a metric…

 

[Beerz]

This is purely for the chaos of it. It makes no sense and it doesn't address the top four, but it does push Stillman to 7 and Bryson/Clague out IF they were to also find a top 4 guy too.

I'd be all for it.

Boosh and Zads on the 3rd pair. Smashing

 

[McDrai]

I was thinking Calgary would probably receive a pick and/or prospect but I almost forgot that their ownership refuses to rebuild despite the pile of players wanting out. I’m going to guess they receive a lesser defenseman and prolong their mediocrity

 

[ToDavid]

Really like him and by all reports his teammates always seem to like him.

Not sure what the trade would be. Looks like Calgary is looking for younger players who can step onto the roster now, which the Leafs don’t have a ton of. Maybe something like Timmins + a pick. He has a chance to be a great value player at his contract if he can stay healthy.

 

[Team Cozens]

Add another Calgary Flame to the trade block, this time Nikita Zadorov.

According to David Pagnotta The big Flames defensemen is available and among the teams interested are Toronto, Vancouver and Florida.

I won't lie assuming the price is right I would LOVE this.

replacing Holl with Zadorov would be a BIG step in the right direction for the defense and I mean that literally, the man is a monster at 6"6 and nearly 250 pounds

To be honest... you LOVE every player to go to the Leafs. LOL

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

To be honest... you LOVE every player to go to the Leafs. LOL

Nope not true, I have ZERO interest in Ryan Graves, I have ZERO interest in Evan Rodregiues

Infact there are only about 4 UFA D men I have any interest in.

Those are

Carson Soucy
Scott Mayfeild
Luke Schenn
Matt Dumba at the right price.

I think Ryan Graves is going to get disgusting money and I want NOTHING to do with it.

But Zadorov damn right

 

[Necrobutcher]

Duclair for Zadorov 20% retained. Book it.

 

[sxvnert]

I assume everyone with one year remaining in Calgary is on the trade block. At the very least they should be.

 

[Avilaj07]

To Toronto-
Zadorov
Lindholm

To Calgary-
Nylander
Brodie

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Would be a good fit on the Leafs for the right price I think

 

[Right Wing]

He actually handles the puck pretty well and has sound defensive awareness. He hits and moves freakishly well. Especially for his size.

He makes incredible plays that hints at an enormous ceiling. Then makes these bizarre terrible decisions.

All that said, I don't want to move him. Not at all. I'll live with the blunders. We are marshmallow soft without him. We used to be a tough team. Bennett, Tkachuk, Gudbransson and Lucic are gone. He's our only sandpaper left. Also silly as it sounds with a 27 year old I think there is still more potential there.

This we will be soft as baby poo as it is.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Carolina probably has roots for one more defender. Come on down
