Okay well… that cap aint gunna work and his health is only a huge risk every season and post-season. The guy dove to block a clapper with his face 1/4 through the season. He’s desperately trying to lose that last tooth

which is exactly why you need him. he inspires his teammates. his value off the ice is even greater than his value on ice.

For folks focussing on the picks, I bet other teams had better picks on offer.

 

What we had was the ability to not have to send back cap in the trade to make it work.  No one else would have been able to do that.  The extra cap space Calgary got from this has a lot of value for them in future moves.  They can easily double their return on the deal by taking back a contract for that money they freed up.

 

It was the Beauvillier trade that was the art work.

Good thought.  Calgary likely have their eye on the real prize as well:  the Hanifin / Lindholm returns.

 

 Having some extra cap space to take the best offer on those two is absolutely essential for them if they want to make some lemonade from this giant lemon of a season.

I don't care. 

 

edit: this is exactly what people said when the team let him go the first time and all he's done is been calgary's best player and heartbeat for the last 4 years. 

But Calgary has been just awful this year...Zadorov is big and really slow.

What does that have to do with this trade? Zadorov is a proven NHL player with almost 600 games under his belt. Those 2 were fringe prospects that were gambled on being NHL caliber.

Exactly my point. Woosh
