Canuck fans must be having buyers remorse eh? Trying to pawn off a guy they aren't happy with for more than they paid.

Canucks are not trading big Z.IMHO.

Canucks fans are happy with Zadorov. It’s been more Toronto fans trying to trade for him than Canucks fans trying to move him

If the Canucks move Zadorov (unlikely) then they won’t be retaining

Can’t see the Canucks moving Zadorov. If they did, this deal doesn’t make any sense. Timmins would be waiver fodder and probably get claimed, and trading a guy you acquired for a 3rd + 5th for a single 3rd while having to retain $2M is a terrible decision.

Not really he's been great. It's just a rumor that the Canucks want to allocate the cap space towards an elite forward. I'd be surprised if he actually gets traded.

Idk if any team has traded for a player mid-season than trade them that same season. I also thought that Vancouver was happy with his play.

Zadorov to the Leafs is not going to happen.

Why not trade for sean walker instead?

It is more utter disbelief for how good this team is showing it can be, and therefore a will to go big game hunting at the TDL. They need cap space to do that, and Zadorov would be an easy move if it means you can get someone that really solidifies your top 4.

That said, Zadorov has been great and really elevated the Canucks bottom line on the back end.

As for this trade, I definitely wouldn't do it as the Canucks. Unless you're making a legit improvement on the right side (e.g. Tanev, Pesce, Hronek 2.0), I think having a big, gritty defenseman like Z is too valuable.

No Zadorov has been full value. Worth the price, but our left and right side is unbalanced when fully healthy and I don't think the Canucks should resign Zadorov for what he is expected to demand given that I think he isn't better than Soucy and that would make him a very overpaid bottom pair LD.

I don't get why the Leafs undervalue Timmins so much, I think he's great for his contract and he's locked for another year at a reasonable price that fits our cap structure. If he's waiver fodder, then the price can be adjusted to match values, I did say the picks might be different. Retention could also come from a third team.

Sometimes, people are trying to you know make a win-win that works for both teams. That was the idea here.



Teams have done so. I think the Canucks could do it if they send Zadorov somewhere he is happy to go and the Canucks aren't planning to resign him and they can spin it as giving him a chance somewhere else.

Would seem awfully unlikely
