Sam Bennett asked for a trade and the team waited months.
Zadorov fought for one of his teammates this past week and players all went up to him and gave him a pat.
I really doubt that there is some poison that needed to be removed from the locker room, and even if there was it wasn't impacting on ice play. The locker room are all professionals, they had already figured it out.
Flames for sure took less (how much less is unknown but I think you get a 2nd at the deadline) to make this trade right now instead of waiting, I'm pretty confident in that.
