Do they have the cap?You obviously don't know how hard Treliving went after Zadorov and Tanev

I’m guessing he wants at least a 5x5, but who is going to give it to him
When I say slow, I mean slow compared to the mobile Dmen of todays game. Compared to other Dmen of his size and play style he’s fine but the game is moving away from those type of players. He’s just not a guy you want defending against the Mcdavids, Mckinnons and other elite skaters of the league. The problem is that GM’s love this type of player and will pay him like a 2-3 when he should be payed like a 5-6.It's funny that you think Zadorov is slow. His decision making is puzzling sometimes, but he's an elite skater. He skates like Hanifin.
No, he's fast compared to small guys. You're completely off here. He's as fast as Hanifin, faster than Andersson. Only Kylington skates better than him and he skates better than any defenseman in the league. He'd be the Oilers fastest defenseman by quite a bit. He's not just fast for his size. He's a top 10% skating defenseman. He's extremely mobile by today's standard. Hischier is a pretty good skater. Zadorov blew him away to score in a race from 15 feet behind him.When I say slow, I mean slow compared to the mobile Dmen of todays game.

That’s hilarious when Morrissey makes 6.25, but yeah some idiot GM will pay a too BIG UFA contract.Somebody will give him 6x6
Zadorov is a really fun really good #5 defenseman but some of the numbers being thrown around are lunacy. Anybody giving him six by six is paying through the nose.
DUH!!!! This is the worst kept secret….. who was the top destination when it was clear he wanted out? Toronto. His agent leaked out Toronto specifically during the whole drama. He knew if he went to Toronto an extension was coming. Would not be surprised at all if Treliving gets him in July. There is mutual interest on both sides. Friedman himself has said multiple times that they tried to get Zadorov months before the deadline.On the most recent 32 thoughts podcast It was suggested that Zadorov is not long for Vancouver, he said he believs Zadorov will price himself out of Vancouver.
I wonder what he thinks he will get on the open market.
I'd bet my bottom dollar Treliving will be hard after him, I expect the full court press to be on for him.

Isn’t he a Canuck fan tho? He said he was jealous of Horvat for getting drafted to VAN. He’s said lots of great things about the city and team, I could see him staying.DUH!!!!

We already tried his services and he looked like a bottom pairing guy here. May not have been his fault but I doubt Davidson goes after him considering the term he is looking for.Watch Allvin flip him at the draft for a 5th if he can't be resigned.
Somewhere like Chicago who probably could use a LD and someone to provide protection for Bedard.
A team that can provide the big contract, and sell the potential of contending in a few years, perfect for the agent to cash.
I guess it depends. I don't think 5M for 2 years is too much. I do think 5M for 6 years is too much. If his skating drops off he will be a 3M physical defenseman. His skating is the thing that saves him from his hockey sense and decision making.Even as a zadarov fan I think 5 is already too much for him. lol at the 6 x 6.
He’s literally a bottom pairing guy. But a unique since he will be one of the biggest and heaviest in the league so not bad having something like that on the roster.
