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.
The weights they give different stats are subjective that's why you have so many models that are trying to combine all aspects of the game into one stat.
