Quoting: KingofRnR
IF Zadorov gets Traded; I think you’re going to be very surprised what he returns 50-75% retained, especially given the interest he’s garnering and the fact he’s Faster, Bigger and Better than MTL’s Chiarot and CLB’s Savard
Edmundson = Injury Prone and therefore Unreliable
Schenn/Bogosian = Old, Slow, Can’t Score
Lyubushkin = Smaller, Slow, Can’t Score
Klingberg/Petry/Gustaffson = Not Comparables
Braun/Hamonic/Hagg/J.Johnson/Benn = Not Good/Washed
Megna/Bear/Nemeth/Hakanpaa/Gudbranson = Not Good
Most of your Comparables are simply warm bodies brought in for depth and injury insurance. Just because we play Big-Z on our 3rd Pairing a lot of the Time doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a 2LD on most NHL Teams
Zadorov plays 3rd pair on team that ranks 27th in goals allowed
How do you get Z as 2LD on most teams? I would see him as 3LD on most teams....
Would be 2LD: ARI, CHI, DET, PHI, SJS
Would be 3LD: ANA, BOS, CBJ, COL, EDM, FLA, LAK, MIN, MTL NYI, PIT, STL, TOR, VAN, WSH
Would be 4LD: BUF, CAR, DAL, NJD, NYR, OTT, SEA, TBL, VGK, WPG
(a few of teams where he'd be 4LD play a LD on right side, like Buffalo, Dallas, Jersey, Vegas, Winnipeg)
Only found 5 teams where he may play 2LD (and couple of those may be debatable). None are buyers.
