Canucks would have to add for that. And I think they're looking at bringing Tanny back, not going for an unknown.
Zadorov would be a fantastic add for Vancouver, if they think he can play the right side, or shift Cole or Soucy to the right. His game really rounded into form under Sutter's tutelage, and beyond his defensive capabilities and the occasional big hits, you can see him at times rushing the puck up the ice, or pinching in and getting the puck to his linemates in the middle, I think he's underrated there. Zadorov/Soucy or Zadorov/Myers as a 2nd pair behind Hughes/Hronek, with Cole pairing with either Myers or Soucy on the 3rd pair, looks pretty good for that team right now. He is also a vocal guy who expects accountability from his teammates. Great fit for a Tocchet team.
But that said, the Canucks probably prefer a right shot guy(?), and Tanev, while older, does fit that, plus the familiarity with the organization and city. Plus what you said, not a good enough return.
