The bottom line is that everyone in the Canuck lineup 'plays bigger' when Zadorov is on his game. He's a one-man wrecking crew in his own zone. Just built for the playoffs.

Will be a real loss if he walks in the off-season. There's basically nobody out there on the UFA market who brings anything close to what he brings.

In the off-season: Sign him first; worry about fitting him under the cap later.

I am going to be devastated if we don't re-sign Zadorov this off-season. He's been playing like one of the most valuable pieces on this team for months now, not just these 3 games. He's got a sneaky good shot, knows when to join the rush, delivers the crushing hits that can tilt momentum and he's a talker. I love having assholes on our team, we're at our best when we've got guys like Burrows, Torres, Lapierre who teams hate playing against and Zadorov is one of them IMO. He should've been signed the minute he did the griddy to the Red Wings' bench.

Yeah, he's definitely been making a case for being an essential re-sign, in much the same vein as Joshua is. Teams are always clamouring for guys like this that have the skillset not just to provide talent value, but also to be able to play in the trenches.

There have been zero rumors about the team talking to Myers.

It was more the rumors that circled around TDL, that the team really liked Myers, and how Zadorov is pricing himself out of our range.

If they really choose to get Myers signed over Zadorov, difference in price it may be, it'd be a classic Commander Dimbo move.

...But I read Z is a bum, just like most resident "experts' were saying before.

He was on most of the resident "experts'" do not resign list.

Eventually Lindholm will be removed from their "do not resign lists" and become an absolute must have.

BTW: Meyers is 5 or so years older than Z. give your collective heads a shake.

have to figure his camp is using the Cernak contract as a comp. I'll maintain my previous stance that term doesn't make me uncomfortable with this player. He'll age like a big diesel engine and his compete is unwavering. would offer him 6 years at $4MM and negotiate from there.
