This is fine if it's an eastern team.
Less so that it's Vancouver. When it's the Canucks, you'd better ensure that they're turning their pockets inside out for this guy.
That said Zad isn't as big a difference maker as people have been making him out to be. He's still ideally a bottom pairing d-man and those kinds of guys don't put a team over the top.
Ilya Solovyov will have us getting over Zadorov in short order. Especially when we see how much less mistake prone he is.
I'll miss the hits though.
