Confirmed with Link: Canucks acquire Nikita Zadorov for a 2024 5th and 2026 3rd.

[Peen]

Y'all ready to see some bone crunching hits and some unnecessary penalties

We are up to 4 penalty prone D in Cole, Myers, Soucy, and Zadorov lmao

I guess Zadorov has the opportunity to prove his value here. If he outplays Soucy, he sets himself up for 4+. If he plays worse, he's maxing out at 3. Right? Maybe?

Cole likely shifts to the right on one of the pairs.

this is a great deal, something good finally happen to the canucks once in a while.

 

[just22]

I saw a Sportsnet alert on my phone “Canucks acquired Zadorov for picks” and instantly my first reaction was we traded a first or second round pick.

The Benning PTSD is still strong…

 

[Ginger Papa]

Just heard this & had to take a break from work to come here.


Pretty happy with this acquisition, and for the cost

I’ve mentioned it before, but Zadorov has always been one of those players who I dislike as an opponent but was sure I’d enjoy if he was playing for my team.

Zadarov and Myers. Combined weight of nearly 480lbs and combined height of a giraffe!

 

[andora]

well - wrong on my idea of bringing in someone noone saw coming - BUT i don't think they are done this year, so i will stand by this

not in love with the player, but cool, can be very effective IF MANAGED PROPERLY, which i have faith in this coaching staff to do

 

[LordBacon]

I swear Allvin has all other GM’s family at gunpoint or someshit.
How does he pull this off

 

[TryamkinPleaseReturn]

I like stocking up on picks... but from what I've seen of this management group, I wonder if they have a deal in place to swap the pick out in another trade... I wonder if Tanev or Zadorov

Anyone see this coming yesterday?

 

[thekernel]

Wait, he scored 14 goals last year?? Damn

 

[m9]

Nice trade.

Price actually seems fair? I don't think it's a steal or anything, figured he would be worth a 2nd so a 3rd & really early 5th is pretty much the same.

just wait until they are on the ice together, pushing a minute and the only play is a ring around.. legends

 

[Petey O]

Bargain. Even though I'm not a massive fan of the player, this is pennies to the dollar.

I had this exact reaction. I skimmed the tweets looking for the first round pick and was in disbelief it was only a 3rd lol

 

[Vector]

They better evaluate this over the entire season rather than Sbisa this right off the bat because I am very skeptical of this fit.

I think he profiles perfectly fine as a bottom-pairing guy. Kind of like Myers but hopefully more appropriately priced. The next contract is the big deal.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Holy Crap (you were dead wrong Seravalli).

This is who I preferred over Chris Tanev (love the guy).

Great move..cant believe the Flames traded to a div rival.

Leaf fans are going to be choked..They wanted him.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

The best part about this deal is that the Canucks block the Leafs from upgrading their blue line.

 

[Peen]

I am too but this is an insanely cheap price to pay.

Yes, do not get me wrong. They needed another body on the backend and they needed that body to be physical.

And to get that for free skating Beauvillier and a 3rd is pretty dece

But the player also has to be good and I am taking a wait and see approach that maybe he looks better here than he did in my viewings of him in CGY.

 

[JT Milker]

Nice trade.

It’s a 2026 3rd.

Sir, Tyler Myers is in our top 4.

 

[Nucker101]

"So this Conroy idiot started negotiations asking asking for a 1st+"

 

[Vancouver_2010]

Calgary fans said he is not playing well lately though

 

[sting101]

Holy frig unreal

 

[m9]

It’s a 2026 3rd.

Yes it is

 

[Vector]

Canucks play the Flames on Saturday too.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Wow! Thought his price was going to be a lot higher. Allvin has been hitting it out of the park when other GM’s are having trouble completing trades.
