In the end Vancouver paid a 3rd and Beauvillier for likely 3/4 a season for Zadorov.

I wonder how close the Flames and Leafs are on a Tanev trade, retention included. I bet Conroy has a pretty good idea of what they would offer.
To damage79’s point, that retention could be used for a Marksron deal though….
Retention on Hanifin and Lindholm seems like an inevitability. Conroy even addressing this (not retaining on Zadorov) seems like the Flames are wide open on that topic.
