Zadorov was just at the right place at the wrong time. Of course he wants a long term deal. He is at his peak now, and while you can argue that he is only a #5 in terms of ice time, he offers a lot for that. He has made a name for himself the past 2.5 seasons and he has to capitalize on that the best he can. But it also makes sense why the Flames didn't want to lock in on a long term deal given the crossroads the team is at. I wish he didn't go public, but I get why he wanted to try his luck elsewhere.
