3rd + 5th is cheap but accommodating his caphit is the issue as it was for the Flames. Canucks are also in no position to retain or take on salary. And no, I don't think any of those three would improve the team considering the unique skillset Zadorov brings.
Timing would be the most important factor.
Does Zadarov's unique skillset make him a better player than Soucy/Cole right now? IMO, no. That's the impetus for a move. He's still value for his deal, so the Canucks are unlikely to have to retain.
I think we would have naturally come to this conclusion sooner if Soucy had remained in the line-up.
