One day Gio will retire because nobody beats Father Time but we are talking about the here and now. Zadorov is nowhere near the guy just a couple of years removed from the Norris
And the comparison in terms of mix of 4 players last year vs this year, we will see who is better. Coleman had better pts/60 than Ryan last year, and Bennett’s numbers in a limited sample size in Florida were better than both. All we can do is wait and observe
Or we can just take the position that everybody new is better than everybody that left

Honestly it's a shame anyone is even comparing the two because it is unfair to Zadorov.
Yes, Zadorov likely isn't a Flame if Gio is still a Flame but it's unfair expectations to put on Zadorov.
Gio at 38 is a much better defenceman than Zadorov. Zadorov has never been even close to Gio or he wouldn't be on his 4th team at 26 years old.
I just don't see Zadorov as anything special. I am glad it is just a 1 year deal and guarantee he will be on his 5th team next year.
