Lol not sure if that is for Myers or Zadorov but I am going to laugh if they give Zad 6x6. Immediately replace the Myers contract with an equally bad one. That was my hope when the Canucks traded for him.

If Gudbranson can get 4x4, Gudas a 4m deal too, then Zadorov will get at LEAST a 5 x 5. A sucker will pay for it, maybe even 6 x 6. GMs drool over players like Zadorov when looking at his size, but you’ll see a major blunder on most games that could be behind the net. He does make it up with big hits, skating, and randomly going god mode once a blue moon. Far too inconsistent to pay him anything north of 5.5m, but I think a team would bite on paying him something in the 5s for 5 years and have him in the middle pairing until someone can take him over. As Bingo said he’s a #5 on a contending team.

Quite frankly I am ‘A’ okay with Zadorov getting a big pay day. Same for Lindholm, as long as they’re not with us.

And by best he's looked you mean he's still one of the worst Dmen on the team and frequently gets his head caved in 5v5 no matter which pairing he is on or how much he is sheltered?

We have seen guys like this. Guys like Ristolainen, Gudas, Nurse, or even closer to home Myers, get paid. So has Zadorov. And he knows come July 1st, there is a non-zero chance a team offers him a deal that is for more money than it should be for a longer time than makes any sense.

Get paid big man. Ideally by not the Canucks.
Offer him Nurse Money!!

Zadorov is hilarious and a big event player, he will be overpaid the guy just isnt that good. Love the hits but they put him out of position as much as they help

Canucks and Joshua are far apart with Dhaliwal reporting that the Canucks offer is in the low 2s.

I like Joshua. I also know that they can go out and get a guy like Danton Heinen for probably less than what Joshua will get.

Cool, do it.

Canucks trying to lowball all their players is perfect.

Look, it's fine if you don't want to pay a guy more than he's worth - I wouldn't want to be in the Zadorov business for anything over 5M per year either - but don't lowball. Joshua is worth WAY more than low 2's.

Would love to have the guy on a 5 year $3.75 deal.
Columbus signed the wrong 3rd pairing D man to a 4 x 4, it was Opposite Day for them

According to Dhaliwal, Mike Yeo also left Vancouver after only being offered a 1 year contract by Rutherford. Sounds like he may land in Ottawa.

they have to low ball now that they are paying their "playoff warrior" Petterson 11.5 or so.

That is exactly correct.

Players often say "they want to stay". But what they really mean is "I want to stay" but "I want to get paid UFA prices too".

I don't think they are "lowballing" they actually want to pay what these players are actually worth.

Maybe they are getting smarter. Or, more likely, running out of cap.

How does Mike Yeo keep getting work?

Feels like he doesn't have a few pictures of people so much as an entire photo album.

Yeo was a hold over from Boudreau I believe.

Sure, but I don't think he's worth into the 3s unless he's signing long term.
