hockeyfan-observer Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Hard to say what direction this will be going. Big Z and his camp may even wait to see what is out there and how comparable to the Canucks offer before deciding. Also, JR/PA will have to address the contracts of Garland, BB, Soucy and Demko in the near future so we see why the Canucks are a bit more careful now on contract matters. As some have said, not sure if this goes past 5.25M+ just because of all the pending contracts coming up and mgmt is trying to spread out the funds.

SilentSam Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 It was wrong to sign Myers before Zadorov, who we know is looking for term. Myers is on his last contract, Management should have held ground to 2-2.5 m Zadorov should have been signed first and the pressure should have been put on Myers considering his previous 6x6m and what the organization got out of it. Zadorov offers more , is without a home , spoke highly of this organization, and played like a player who wants to stay and make this home. Showing he still has a ceiling of potential. He wears his Heart on his sleeve . He plays better and offers more than what Myers contract previously gave the team. I highly doubt what Zadorov wants is over 5.25. and may be below that already. If Zadorov signs somewhere else, Canucks fans get to watch Myers again without Cole or Zadorov taking on those heavy minutes.. An aging Myers 34 , all the weight gets thrown on Soucy. and neither play Myers or Soucy are as dynamic, or have the potential to be better, Zadorov does. Canucks will look for a band-aid solution to replace Zadorov if he moves on. When the band-aid solution to go to last is Myers . Not treating Nikita like one. I think management has made a mistake in this pecking order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think management has made a mistake in this pecking order. Agreed. Zadorov should have been a bigger priority than Myers and considering how much Myers made in his last contract, and how underwhelming he was for most of it, he was given too much. Of course, there's the chorus of fans who'll state that Myers took less to play here, but there's really no way of proving that at all. Mere supposition. It’s possible that management had a deal with Myers for a while now, and maybe there’s no real “pecking order” to the contracts. Whomever was ready and available to sign was dealt with first. No real way of knowing at this point. I do hope that Alvin still has Zadorov in his plans though, seeing as how he has stated that he wants to be here. Not a player who's easily replaceable.

syntheticity Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 For those listening to PA's recent press conference, it looks like we're not going to resign Zadarov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Pending UFAs have been able to talk to other teams for several days now. (25th?) Zadorov is aware of other teams interest and what they're willing to pay. The ball's in his court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) Probably the wise move. Zadorov will cost WAY more than he's actually worth as a defenceman. His cost will enter Matt Roy and Brett Pesce territory. Edited June 28 by HKSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
