I think a contract that starts with a 4 is fair for Zadorov.
The cap is tight now, but it is going up.
If you ranked players high to low based on contracts the 4 million range is 61 to 90
Zadorov currently makes 96th most among D men.
Zadorov is a reliable D man, and he is a big body. If the Flames are getting younger, as they should, they still need a big body or two to keep things in line. More than that, you need a big guy to compliment the skilled D the flames have been targeting.
