Realistically

Flames aren't interested in trading Zadorov. He also does not play RD very well, significantly better on the left side

Frank sir why are we paying a 2nd round pick to add yet another LHD?

Detroit is giving up a bit too much in that deal. Take out the 2nd and it maybe gets done. Ehlers could be a good fit but I think Detroit would rather look at guys like Konecny, Connor or Debrincat with those picks.

I just don't see Ehlers like everyone else seems too, he's always hurt it seems and his production is good but it's a lot for a guy who hasn't really put it all together

I disagree, I'd trade Zadorov ahead of any other D we have. I like a lot of his game, but I think some of his defensive game will be exposed without Sutter making the forwards cover for him.

I wouldn't trade him for a project like Zadina though.
