Zadorov has a +0.8 even strength defensive GAR, which is decent — the 118th-best in the league.
Unfortunately, his -1.4 even strength offensive GAR is the 27th-worst in the league and almost singlehandedly tanks his value. This has been the story with Zadorov for years. He is completely unable to push play, especially when he has the puck.
It doesn't matter if a player is decent defensively if he's a black hole offensively.

Of course it matters, if that’s his job. I don’t think Sutter expects any offence at all from him.
