I don't know about you but I don't want any of those guys over Zadorov.
When they traded for Zadorov, a lot more players were available through free agency. I mean he might still be a decent option over many of the contracts handed out. I’m fine with the player and okay with dollar value. I’m not a big fan of walking him to UFA though.
