spook007 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Wonder if JR or PA have some dodgy pictures of Flames management... What a freaking trade. Can't believe how quickly he acts, when the opportunity arises... PA... 'Do we need a tough top 4 D?'.... Hold my beer... Somewhere over in Russia Tryamkin is sitting with big eyes watching Canucks building a mini Russia here in Vancouver... Brilliant move. If it doesn't work out, he is gone in the summer...risk free... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an exciting up and coming prospect and I wanted us to make a run at him, but he gets out of position way too much chasing after big hits or trying to make offensive plays. I'll be happy to be wrong. I agree he can be an adventure But if this coaching staff can calm down Tyler Myers to an acceptable level then I think the same can be said with big Z The question is how coachable is he? We will find this out fairly soon at least. If his game evens out then I can see us signing him to a 2-3 year contract. If he doesn’t then we do a 1 year show me or let him walk. The potential pay off is pretty big if all things play out well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D core got much tougher to play against and shocked that Calgary didn't ask for at least a 2nd. Nobody has any cap room so prices are low. We are learning this now so it's not shocking anymore.

I'll be happy to be wrong. You won’t be wrong. But, in terms of what he brings overall, his positives outweigh his negatives in terms of club necessity for any additions. People focus on his negatives but for a big man with some wheels, offensive skill set and defensive grit, he’s an ideal add - warts and all.

To top it off, traded to your rival Canucks, and making them better. Pretty sure Conroy had instructions to get him out asap, deal with the downfall later.

Zadorvov brings elements we lack and have missed since Schenn left. This is a good move. I would probably extend Zadorov. Yeah best bet is to resign Z and either user Myers expiring cap space to get a legit star D player OR Re-sign Myers to 2.5-3m and re-sign Z and use Cole's expiring contract and savings from Myers to get another D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, Vancan said: The way our management works, you may not have to wait till the offseason. The way Rutherford hates waiting till the trade deadline, you may not have to wait till then either. Procrastination is not in Rutherford's vocab, and he is teaching Alvin that to. Unless they can manage to trade one of Myers or Garland I don’t see us having the cap this year. The cost to move those two may be too much to warrant. Myers is 6M and Garland has term. They are not like Beau who’s value is much better. Trying to find a deal without retaining might be difficult. Cap is premium right now. Having it was the reason we were capable of making this move. You can find decent, good value players, particularly expiring players, without overpaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrefan1 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I remember him well. I'm not gonna say a word....lol To be fair to him though, he can be physical and the price was very well negotiated by the front office. If he can bring his physicality to the Canucks in the playoffs this year, he'll be worth the extra 3rd rounder. That's where he will earn his money. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 48 minutes ago, stawns said: while I agree and am happy to see that on the roster, more than a few of those are penalties now and possibly even suspensions. That said, I am hoping to see some bog hits, just clean ones I noticed that as well, Stawns. Hopefully Gochar/Foote can work on that with him. Got to keep those elbows down and lighten up when shoving a guy's numbers though the boards. He sure doesn't have to put much effort into knocking guys down, though. They seem to go flying after a light bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy to be wrong. Well, you’re wrong. Z is a top four D and a steal at the price Allvin paid. Not every trade for a D will bring us the best player on the other club and a top five Dman in the league like Hronek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydog Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 So, could Foote and Gonchar fix some of zadorov’s “ off game” faux pas ? Could the team defensive system maybe nullify these issues also? We know he’s big and tough which we need but also has some Myers type play tendencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not sure how to feel about this, first the AB trade and then this one? WTF? Where is the "and a 1st" I keep waiting to be included by us? I feel like someone has altered the timeline and we now have a decent GM? It's oddly unsettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
