Sureloss has it right I bet. Asked for a trade now so he can get more icetime to position himself for a better deal next year. Of course Flames could easily give him that icetime until the trade deadline if they move a different D.
Thing is, I don’t believe Conroy is ready to throw in the towel on a season just yet so a Zadorov trade might bring back some NHL defense, and not just a draft pick.
As far as tanking his trade value, I don’t agree. The most favorable terms you can ever get as a buyer is on an off market transaction. Let everyone know that he is available and he won’t be dealt until your price is met.
