Bruins don't need another 7th D in Zadorov either

Tell me you didn’t watch him play without telling me you didn’t watch him play. He’s exactly what boston needs and after that abominable defense you put out in the playoffs after Carlo’s injury, you’d gladly accept that.

I would have to agree to disagree with Reilly signing- I think he is good. But that Glendening signing is actually dreadful.

Well, the standards are pretty low if I go with what we had once Miller/Carlo were injured. I have watched Zadorov, just like I've seen dozens of negative comments from Hawks' fans on Zadorov.

he's not good but he's also not a 7th dman. I'm a hawks fan that watched just about every game. Analytics support that hes a solid top 4 guy, eye test says that he's sometimes solid and other times a pylon that takes stupid penalties. He plays a style of hockey built for the playoffs, and he's still relatively young. I think this is fair value here. If we couldn't get like a 2nd I would rather just keep him for the playoff run that we are apparently trying to make

7th was a reach but I want to avoid the "other times a pylon that takes stupid penalties". As you said, Hawks could get a 2nd because GMs love big physical dmen, which is why I don't want the Bruins to trade for him. There are better options.

very fair, just wanted to try to add a hawks fans' perspective to the discussion
