Zadorov is kind of a 4/5 guy in my opinion. Borderline.
Perhaps in theory, he could play on the second pairing on some teams. I do think Sutter coached him well - not all coaches will.
But he's just probably not going to be cap efficient.
He might be better than Mackey. But dollar for dollar, the Flames might as well go with Mackey and use it as a development opportunity.
