What would the big fella get on the open market? Would Colorado be willing to trade him?
I know my fellow habs fans wouldn't like it but would poehling+ get the conversation started on the avs end?

Holy crap... I didn’t know Zadorovs potential shot up soooo much.Habs need a large offer which still might be rejected by the AVs. Only 23 years old and month younger as Domi and Drouin with nearly the same amount of NHL games. I suggest the following:
Poehling + Suzuki
Zadorov has 1D potential. Size, skating, defense, passing and nastiness. Prone to mental lapses which leads him to the occasional game scratches. However, DMan have the toughest position to learn. So the offer would be very high.

Barberio never had #1 potential.Holy crap... I didn’t know Zadorovs potential shot up soooo much.
Almost every team would love to have him on their team. You’re not getting anywhere close to what you want.
Potential is such a slipper slope. Barberio has 1D potential... will he tap it... **** no. You can say anything about potential because of its ambiguity. There is no way to value potential so saying something like “he has top pairing potential” is contextually irrelevant unless it’s widely considered correct. I have never heard of him being that dynamic other than his hitting. Just because what I hear or say doesn’t make it the truth, but I disagree with your analysis.
Zadorov tops out as a #4 most likely.
Still a good player and, like I said, most teams would like to have him.
Drouin & Kotka are not available unless you want to give us MackinnonBarberio never had #1 potential.
Zadorov just is not available. Unless you want to give us Drouin or Kotka.
I know Barberio never had 1D. I’m making a point. It’s based upon ambiguity since there’s no distinct way to value potential.Barberio never had #1 potential.

Point being, Zadorov is not being moved outside of an overpayment. His value to us is much higher than it would be in a trade right now.Drouin & Kotka are not available unless you want to give us Mackinnon
Don't derail the thread with posts like this. Let's just say Avs wouldn't trade MacKinnon for Drouin+Domi+Kotkaniemi+1st round pick.Drouin & Kotka are not available unless you want to give us Mackinnon

It’s all subjective... unless the potential is agreed upon.
I can say anyone has 1D or first line potential. The same thing goes with ceilings.
If COL won’t give up Zadorov unless it’s a massive overpayment, then there’s no deal to be made because COL will not get that.

HABs have few LHD options.
- Mete collapsed to the 4th line
- Kulak is not a 1D
- Schlemko already 31 and played 48 games for the Habs with 6 pts
- Reilly drafted 7 years ago never played 40 games in a season
- Alzer cleared waivers for trade
- Romanov drafted last year playing in Russia
Teams know the HABs are particularly weak, so if they need a LHD they either draft and wait 2-3 years or overpay on a trade.
Zadorov would be the top LHD on the HABs.
AVs have little interest in moving unless an overpayment of Blue Chip players is packaged.
This is exactly why you don't see Avs fans making trade offers where we give up Zadorov for something. It's always fans of other teams asking what it takes to get him, and then when the answer isn't to their liking, acting like we're trying to pawn Zadorov off on them for more than he's worth.
Yeah I agree. That’s really every fan base though. Some players have sentimental value which basically makes them unmovable.
For me, personally, I think Wayne Simmonds is worth more than a late 1st + low end prospect... he has some sentimental value to me. I see a lot of let’s trade Simmonds for some bad goalie because we need one.
I was just making a comment on the guys analysis of using potential as the basis of a trade.
I didn’t mean that his value was based on sentimentality.Yeah, there are definitely some guys like that around the league, but I don't think Zadorov's value is based on sentimentality at all. He's a 23 year old, 6'5" monster who led the league in hits last year, and keeps showing glimpses of being more than just a physical force. If he can figure out his consistency issues, and iron out some of the few remaining wrinkles, he could most definitely have a spot in our top 4 for a long time. He's exactly the kind of guy that at least half the league would love to have, and we'd be trying to find his clone the instant any trade was finalized.
Looked good in the game last night. Would love to have him.
Wasn't he "available" just a couple weeks ago?
