I think this is likely what the arbitration ruling would be.

Zadorov was a weak link on a horrible Hawks D core. Im not sure how he gets this kind of money for a third pairing role

It's finally time for Z to put up or shut up. He has been riding the RFA status for a few years now but won't have that luxury any longer. Someone will always overpay for a guy his size, so he's in no danger of not having a job. But he'll be getting paid a lot less next year unless he finally puts it all together.

I've always liked the dude, so I'm pulling for him. We'll see though.

I actually thought he’d leave for the KHL because of him demanding too much money interesting signing to say the least

Meh. 1 year deal. Nothing to get excited over. Don't think it's too bad for Calgary. Other than they still can't pick a direction they're going.

Fairly sizable chunk of cash but it's only for 1 year so we're not locked in if this doesn't end up being a fit.

I would vote "No" if Zadorov was signed for longer term. The AAV doesn't severely mess up the Flames' cap and they can always get rid of him next year if he doesn't work out.

Not to insult any Flames fans. But the way that the roster is currently constructed, I wouldn't expect anything great out of them.

So yea, It's not a good signing, its not a bad signing. For me, its just a meh signing

Too much money. Not sure why the Flames gave up a 3rd round pick for him... I didn't even think he was worth his QO.

Only way it would have been good is if he signed a 2 year deal for 2.5M or something similar.

Overpayment, but at least it's only one year and we sort of already knew he was gonna get overpaid.

3 million might be a big too high but it's only 1 year so I'd say its a good contract

Zadorov has to prove himself, I believe this is his last chance before times up, Yet again he might just need to hit Scheifele one more time and Calgary will give him a contract

So thankful that we finally have ads on jerseys so we can continue to support GMs who struggle to sign players to reasonable contract values. I think we need to raise ticket and merchandise prices much higher though, the GMs seem to need more money. There are a lot of mediocre or worse players who aren't getting paid the extra millions they deserve.

Decent deal for a defensive #4. He had shown offensive competency in the past so if he can recapture that and cut out the dumb penalties it’ll be a good contract

NHL so strapped for defensemen at this point, you could just hold a hockey stick and tell them you play defense and they'd throw 3 million at you.

That Poolman contract is looking better and better all the time. What the hell can Hughes pull in if this guy gets nearly $4 million?
