Zadorov just requested a trade. 😢

Two seconds?
Tofolli like with Sharangovich and a third?

33 year old Ekholm got Nashville Schaefer (former 1st rnd), 2023 1st, 2024 4th, and Barrie.

So for Zadorov we should expect a 2nd and a cap dump.

I think Zadarov is worth a second, so I don't think it is far off. Klingberg doesn't have term

Klinberg is UFA no?

he has a M-NTC though

Ekholm >>> Zadarov and had some term.

Yeah, who knows feed him a tonne of minutes and maybe get a 4th/5th back or something.

Turned on the city? That's a bit much. He's got an idea of his value and worth and it doesn't seem to line up with what the Flames are willing to do. He's gotta look out for his best interests, just as the team does.

Dude has 3 points and is a -1. He obviously wasn't a 3D on Dallas - they let him go for free.

That expansion team with no expectations is ahead of us in the standings. Not to mention the Stars had cap trouble.

And he isn't an offensive defenceman, so not sure why you're concerned with points? He leads his team in blocked shots and hits. Why aren't you counting those? Zadorov regularly leads the Flames in this regard, too.

If you took on Reaves and Klingberg, I wonder what they'd be willing to give. Markstrom for the two + unprotected 1st?

and still being sheltered! You figured it out

I am saying he's the #5 not because of merit or lack thereof, but because of past performances of the four guys ahead of him. Sadly, for the most part, those past performances haven't continued to present day.

Honestly if he ends up going to the Leafs, wouldn't be surprised to see him get top three minutes there.

Fans would run him out of town

Markstrom + lindy (50%) for reaves+klingberg+cowan+knies+ unprotected 1st?

I guess Keefe may be a moron but assuming the Leafs are still trying to win there is zero chance Zadorov gets top 3 minutes.

I like Zadorov but he has shown he is no more than a bottom pairing player for a mediocre/bad Flames team where is this notion that he is going to be more than that for a better team coming from?

This year (and every other year) he hasn't played better than anyone ahead of him so how is he not 5th based on merit.

I consider Barrie a cap dump, especially with the term he still had, but that’s a good starting point as an example.

I can’t see how we don’t get a first if a cap dump is coming back.

I hope the other GM's in the league see him the way you do!

Looks like the candidates have narrowed.

I'd just go for picks. Blow the team all the way up.

Devils would be great, wish we could somehow key Hotlz

Gotta take cap back to get good picks. But if they're expiring contracts, who cares?
