I do think that at the deadline you might get a 2nd + for him.

I think that the Flames also didn't want to use one of their retention slots on Zadorov.

And for whatever reason they felt like they needed to make this move now (Cap Space, Locker Room issues, etc).

So in that sense I guess a 3rd and 5th is probably okay for what they did. But really I just don't get why there would be the urgency to do this now before more of a market opens up. He's the prototypical "Teams overpay for physicality" player that get overpayments at the deadline.
