When Treliving traded a third to get a younger Zadorov with one year till UFA the deal was panned pretty hard. Now that he's being shipped out it's getting panned again.
He's a #5 defenceman who can make some big hits and flashes more at times. He's also an adventure when he tries to do too much. I don't think he should have been in the long term plan so no problem moving him.
It's not a great return, but I think it's still really under estimated how difficult making deals to move full salaries is.
