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


Recommended Posts

It would have been nice to get him, but Milstein over values his clients based on popularity vs. On ice play. 
 

His interviews focus on that a lot.

 

Allvin telegraphed it a bit mentioning that they do want to explore if Hronek could carry his own pairing.


Hughes-Tanev

Soucy-Hronek

XX-Myers

 

We need two top four D… or one if we want to promote Soucy

I do like that.

 

Imagine telling every guy to take a discount and then paying Zadorov 6 mil. Doesn’t make sense.

That's a good point. The other guys either took a fair deal or a discount. We handed too many overpaid contracts during the Benning-era. It really sucks to lose Zad, but I trust this management.

Trade for Marino... it would make such a difference to how we can build up our D group... check out this cap compliant roster:

 

Suter-Miller-Boeser

Hoglander-Petey-Debrusk

Joshua-Blueger-Garland

PDG-Aman-Karlsson

 

Hughes-Hronek

Dillon-Marino

Soucy-Myers

 

Yes, it all fits under $88M with a bit of cap to spare.

Not necessarily. We flew out of the gate to a 12-3-1 record with Soucy-Myers as our second pair. We'd still do well to add one more guy (Tanev?) though.

Thank you Allvin for sticking to what you need to do to build a championship team.  Overpaying any player takes value away from the team.  I have even more respect for Allvin after this non-move.

Hurts, but it is refreshing to have a management group with a vision and plan. JB was just ffnn scattered.

There’s no argument for the stuff we traded away to watch players walk, absolute bullshit 

It was a 2027 2nd to help bring Joshua back. Big fucking deal.

Bingo, sending the right message matters

Trading for Marino will cost us a fair bit.  Zads leaving allows GMs to know that we now need a premium asset at a premium position and that won't be cheap.

 

Marino will be multiple picks or a middling pick and a young player.

 

Who are we giving up for Marino?  Hogs?  

 

For an RHD (big need but less than last year) that is middle of the road across the board.

 

Hesitant to start seeing this management group start dumping assets to fill holes every year

Honestly, I look at the lines in terms of production as a whole... Suter was only on a 35 point pace, but the duo of Miller-Boeser sees a huge increase in CF and FF% when Suter is on that line.  It produces better with him on it than when he's not.

 

Suter-Miller-Boeser = 200ish points combined

Hoglander-Petey-??? = 180 to 200 points combined

Joshua-Blueger-Garland = 120 points combined

 

Now if Petey got a legit top 6F ... say a Stamkos or Guentzel...

 

Hoglander-Petey-Stamkos = 220 points combined

Suter-Miller-Boeser = 200 points combined

Joshua-Blueger-Garland = 120 points combined
