Cheaper options are out there Yeah, we will see how much he gets. It's likely out of Nux budget for the 2bd-3rd LD. Lot some grit and intimidation factor to the team for sure.

Zadorov and Myers fulfill different spots in the line up Sure sign Zadorov than you would still need to go fill the hole Myers left and it would probably cost more than 3M a year to fill that hole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zadorov wants something like $5.5M, that's around the cost of a Matt Roy or Brett Pesce who I feel are much better overall defencemen. RHD defencemen as well. I'm ok with this decision assuming we land one of the better RHD on the market. It balances our D group a lot better than Zadorov would. With Zadorov: Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Zadorov-Juulsen Without Zadorov: Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Roy/Pesce UFA-Myers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Zadorov: Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Zadorov-Juulsen Without Zadorov: Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Roy/Pesce UFA-Myers Exactly, Zadorov is a 4-5D and we already have Hughes and Soucy on the left side. If we can get a legit top 4RD to back up Hronek, and bump Myers down, that's worth exploring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see one of 2 approaches... the one you mention above which is to get a true elite Top 6F and find a cheaper LHD... OR Sign one of the top RHD UFA on the market and fill the Top 6 with a guy like Stephenson or Marchessault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted Friday at 06:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:53 PM So… we’re out on Zadorov and likely Guentzel doesn’t make it to UFA. 4.4 for Marino and 3 for Dillon? Might leave enough for a “B” winger option up front like Toffoli or Duclair, Pacioretty, Bertuzzi, Domi, etc Hughes-Hronek Soucy-Myers Dillon-Marino Juulsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a 5-6 defenseman who’s 34 years old. There are numerous options to replace him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted Friday at 06:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:54 PM Well that sucks. But people gotta remember we were a top 5 team before we got Zadorov, and getting a top six winger will help us contend for a cup more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
