Given the way the Zadorov stepped up in the playoffs I would rather we prioritize him and Dakota Joshua over trying to land a Jake Guentzel.
What we need in Vancouver is players that step it up at the right times. Big Z played lights out in the playoffs. Scored a few beauty goals and played well in front of our net. I think he has upside still offensively. he also gives us a bit of a deterrent to team stirring it up with our smaller players.
If we use the money to sign Zadorov, then we can resign DJ and maybe look at adding a Tyler Toffoli back into this mix rather than handing a huge contract to a JG that wont age well. we already have a contract with those risks.
we need players that can elevate their game. I liked what i saw from the big Russian kid this spring. Love to hear thoughts here?
