The more that I look at St. Louis, I could see them as a landing spot for Zadorov. They are in the thick of the playoff race, and are littered with long term contracts that I can't imagine that they want to waste the best years of.
The player that jumps out consistently is Scott Perunovich. Hobey Baker winner, and destroyed the AHL. He's the 6-7 defenseman in St. Louis and is getting sub-12 minutes a game. They would also have to give up their actual #7 defensman in Marco Scandella for cap purposes, but he is in the last year of his contract. They also have two 2nd rounders this year.
Perunovich, Scandella and 2024 2nd, and I'd be pretty happy for Zads.
