I think it's Z's contract more than anything. I think they could get the same player at half the cost
Ok name me two players that can provide the same as Z does for half the price, that wont cost us anything astronomical. Zaitsev would be taken by many teams in the NHL had he actually been shopped. He hasn't been because he is too valuable to the Leafs and Babcock.
I really don't see what the guy is doing wrong for him to be crapped on so much. He's on the PK, he's the only one that remotely plays D in his pairing. He's gritty, blocks shots, and gets the puck out. What else do you want him to do?
