Where are all those delusional flames fans demanding a 1st + for Zadorov? Lol morons.

Meanwhile, Flames fans like 2 days ago saying he'd get a haul. I honestly feel for them, first the underwhelming Toffoli deal then this return AND to a divisional rival

I'm honestly surprised that's all they got for Zad. Definitely wasn't worth a 1st, but I thought he'd fetch a 2nd

Probably coulda fetched that half retained

For sure. I dont get why they pulled the trigger. Why not wait for a better deal. If I were a flames fan I'd be pretty pissed

What's Calgary doing? There were no better offers than that?

Massive WW for Canucks. Essentially got Zadorov and Lafferty for a 3rd, 5th, and 5th (from Beauvilliar deal)

I like the cost for which Vancouver acquired Zadorov. Of course, I'm not too happy that he went intra-division, but this is good for the Canucks. It reinforces my belief that Ilya Lyubushkin with 50% retention will get a 2025 third.

Leaf fans punching the air so hard rn, that they wanted both Zad and Tanev LOL.

even without retain he is worth 4-5th

I'm going back through some old posts and man, a lot of egg on the face of CGY fans. It's really funny.

I’m not. They kept the retention slot for players that should give a bigger return. Zadorov is a nice 3rd liner and those have value.

Does he play the left or right side?

He can play both

I know he can, but Vancouver fans were talking about the coaches comments on left handed defenseman playing their opposite side.

I jumped in too fast, I am too jacked on this finally juicy trade news

It’s a smart move. He’s been overrated, but that’s the right price for him

Alvin is doing great work.

He's horribly overrated
