But your point remains, getting traded a number of times often means nothing. Other than one team wanted you, another did not.
Zadorov is not terrible because he's been traded 3 times. He's terrible because he's terrible. But in a cap world, your 6-7th dman is often quite a bit below average.

He's actually not terrible, and never was,but the Zadorov-Gudbranson pair lacks any offensive value (despite their points, which have been pleasant, but likely not repeatable over a large sample). It's a terribly unbalanced pairing considering they're going to spend more shifts getting offensive zone starts with our top players than they are logging high value shutdown minutes.
If his partner were someone like Kinnvall, or externally someone like Anton Stralman, he'd be a fantastic fit.
