[ARTICLE] What it might take to sign Nikita Zadorov and if it makes sense for the Canucks

I mean if he signs for really cheap for a year it would give us a 1-year stop gap and save us cap for some big upgrades. 


I think I heard they offered him a 50% pay cut which he turned down.

 

Probably cost around 2-2.5 mil

Apparently Dhaliwal said Milstein's going to make a statement regarding Zadorov leaving on Monday? 

 

If this is true, then it means that Zadorov has already decided on his next destination. I hope it's an eastern team.

If we were going up to the rumoured 5 mil why not go a little further and get Pesce?

 

He fits the mould of what we need more than Zadorov or Tanev.


just remember , you snooze, you loose,

 

we had a bird in the hand.

 

Now guys like Tanev , Zadorov , Pesce ,

Dillon ,  are moving .


The complexity of every team shifts in every hour..

and what you thought was a final offer gets out bid by other teams.  

 

The regret may be a small re calculation , never made,  only to leave you in total deficit of what you had.. and no one to replace what that player brought to your team in totality .

 

 

 

 

 


For some you need to find reverse gear to catch up to.

 

 

 

.. and those you held your “man love” for,

Leave you for that other guy 😉

Eh. Could maybe find someone as good for a bit cheaper or someone better for a bit more.

Probably Toronto, which is fine 

 

They traded for Tanev too but I won't be surprised if he hits UFA, I'd rather look for someone younger than Tanev on the right side though

Tanev is from Toronto. I predicted he would sign there a while back. They've been able to speak with his agent since the 25th(?), so they probably have a good idea what the deal will look like.

Why would they make a statement regarding his next destination? To rub it in?

It wouldn't surprise me, but I can very easily see him hitting UFA. Toronto connection or not, Dallas is the better built team and they couldn't get a deal done.

 

Doesn't hurt for him to at least hit July 1st and then weigh his options.

Alvin is going to be resigned to bargain hunting.

It's not my preference, but I wouldn't be upset if Tanev came back on a sweetheart deal

That's your assumption. The statement will probably be to thank the fans and explain the decision because he knows how popular Zadorov is in this market.

 

If he actually signs here, I would obviously welcome that news.

Would be a great story.

 

Big boost to our pk and likely even the morale of the team.

I'll be a little surprised if Milstein badmouths the Canucks or Vancouver, more than likely we'll have players repped by him play here in the future 

 

We still have a couple prospects repped by him for example

Speculation vs assumption.

 

You asked why he would make a statement regarding his next destination. You assumed that "his next destination" would be the reason for his statement. I speculated on the reason.

You’re assuming in your speculation. 🤣

I didn't say it will be to thank and explain, I said it probably would. You assumed my meaning and I explained with speculation..

dunno, I didn't read Allvin as being negative, just factual.

 

Disagree. He could have said, "Nikita wants to see what offers there are out there"....

 

Instead he said "we did our best and he decided that he wanted to go somewhere else.” That really sounds to me like PA is closing the book on Z....
