Proposal: Vancouver - Toronto

I wouldn’t touch Zaitsev without a high quality asset attached. Even then I’d probably say no. Just too many years left on such a terrible contract for a #5 defenceman.

No 4.5 mil for a top 4 RHD is a great contract. Problem is Zaitsev isn't close to being a top 4 RHD.

He struggles as a #5. At 4.5m that’s not a good look

he hasn't been in a #5 role at any point, so he can't have struggled in one. I don't disagree that he's struggled as the #4, but he hasn't played below that role
