The Lock Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 3 minutes ago, Mike Vanderhoek said: Not a career year for Myers or even as a Canuck but he has found consistency in his game under Tocchet. It would be hard to see him signing a new contract with an AAV under $ 4m per thats for sure. Myers at this point is the more valuable defenseman if comparing to Zadorov. Zadorov has helped this team's defensive depth and provides a nice physical element. But unless he himself goes on some sort of run or is part of the team going on a run in the playoffs I just don't see how he returns to Vancouver as he won't be slotted in on a second pairing based off of what we've seen in his game here. Yeah, consistency has been the key for him, along with having a good team around him. I agree on him not returning to Vancouver just because I do think he'd be too expensive for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a scrapper Most players in the NHL, "LET's FIGHT" ... in the 6'-2" and about 220 lbs category (with some notable exceptions) Zadorov facing most opponents ... I wonder why Big Zeke only has 2 fights a year? Dude is 6' -15", weighs 800 lbs and was trained by his mother - a Russian beet farmer - on how to throw them, I would avoid fighting him as well if it was up to me and I was on the ice at the same time.

Or maybe a rumour sent out by JT et all as a contact bargaining tactic. Zads has stated he loves it here, but maybe he's asking too much? Management's way of having him do some soul searching?

It sounded more like big Z wants term, and really we shouldn't have any issues with that all things considered. I can see them hammering something out pretty quickly here.

I hope so, while he hasn't blown me away with skills, he is paid for being a hulk that can play, and that has worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, we're not even into February. There's a lot of hockey left this season along with the playoffs. I never expect contracts to be done mid-season and often I'm surprised when it does happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is Zadorov wants term, how much term is he asking for and how much term Canucks can afford to give. If he can't be re signed then move him for similar or better d man that's has some term left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all dan milstien is a honorary AGM . With the cost being so low to aquire Z they should have no problem if his demands don't come down and he walks. We will have already got full value after 2/3 of a season and a playoff run. Even if they decided to trade Zadorov any team on the other side of the table would point to the 3rd+5th we paid and call that market value. For that value it's definitely worth keeping him as our own rental. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The report was made by Elliotte Friedman though, not just a keyboard warrior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
