I think another team gives him a 1 year deal next season then he's off to the KHL.
Is it really a ridiculous take that a 6th/7th d man will be out of the league soon?

Well you said basically the same thing about Hanifin
If Zadorov goes the the KHL its because he wants to go home and because he is getting paid. I think the value of contract is a fair debate but there are way worse dmen in the league and being huge is definitely a plus that puts him ahead of everyone with an equal skillset.
He is #6 on the Flames who are the best defensive team in the league, plays way higher on a bad team. Remember there are 32 teams now. He is also 26 which is still pretty young.
There is no way he is out of the league anytime soon unless he chooses to be. KHL could give him a massive deal though, he is a top russian dman.
