It is a sunk-cost at this point, and is not actually hurting the team right now. That could change, but for now there really isn't an issue.

[I]His $4 mln is also standing in the way of acquiring the middle 6 winger this team seems to badly need, with Lewis and Ritchie playing far too much. (as for Eichel, would be nice but not holding my breath).

That's why I'd waive him. And have Mackey going up and down as needed, being waiver exempt as he is.
A middle-six winger like who? This is only a problem if Zadorov's cap hit is actually preventing the team from acquiring another player. So far, this doesn't seem to be the case.
