Bolded guys are really big and play a heavy game.
I don't have a particular point, I just wanted to see the landscape. Age curve is less of a concern for D, but Zadorov is almost a full year younger than anyone else.
Zadorov definitely seems to have a unique mix of attributes...ANA jumps out as a good fit since they've lost both Manson and Lindholm and could use a little intimidation to back up their guys who have the audacity to "skill it up". Not sure Zadorov-Shattenkirk would pair well, but Shats is likely gone by TDL.
