I think it’s well acknowledged that the Flames could have held on to Zadorov and got more for him closer to the deadline but they decided to expedite the trade and did so.
Maybe a first is enough. I don’t think any of us are in position to say what some other team will or won’t do.

The Ducks have a massive amount of cap space now and in the next few years. They are going to maximize their return. A first won't be enough with 50% retention, and other teams like the Hurricanes or Avalanche can offer far superior prospects along with the draft capital. Those are far superior destinations this year and until the end of his contract if he wants to win.
