[Rumour]. Zadorov in Chicago.. may not stick .
SilentSam replied to SilentSam's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
If Schmidt is moved that’s 6m per off, and a D position opens. Zadorov is apparently looking to sign for 4m per as an RFA. perhaps Qualifying him at his 3.6m ? base as a bridge for 1 year to get him to UFA? I don’t think he likes it in Chicago,. This could be him forcing a move for his rights, then to negotiate with his new club. it’s all interesting in the very least. We could use his big body, heads up play .. Hard for Myers to carry that load.. and with Hughes Rathbone OEL ,. Schmidt and OJ aren’t any more physical in presence. -

I didn’t think he was in there that much? .. other thing to note is refs have a way of watching first year big boys,. It’s like the way cops tailgate kids with “L” & “N” plates. -
Found this hilite reel of Louies greatest moves as a Canuck

After seeing this vid, can say this young man has all the tools, and size to go with it. Great pick sense, always looking for a lane,. Or ahead on the timing. Players Agent is wondering if KHL or OHL would be better suited.. could he not go to our Farm in Abby.. he seems big and fast enough to roll in the AHL.? or perhaps ineligible?

[Rumour]. Zadorov in Chicago.. may not stick .
SilentSam replied to SilentSam's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The game has changed,. RH / LH situation is usually a preset for face offs or specialty teams. Defenders rove now, crossing over from zone to zone where ever the best option on an offensive or defensive play is. Personally I never put too much emphasis on “strong -side” stick , unless your pairing on special teams. -

Latest on Zadorov. Everything I read about him is out of Chicago, and they seem to not care if they lose him. The hawks currently have aprx 6 m in cap space. They have invested heavily in Seth Jones. aparently looking for 4m as an RFA.. perhaps a one year bridge at qualifying eventually gets him to his number. https://blackhawkup.com/2021/07/19/chicago-blackhawks-ready-move-nikita-zadorov/ With the Canucks I think he would fill a void, in a big way.. and his game would amp up. -

Khaira with Motte and MacEwan. . Hmm -
We are sitting with 18-19 m in cap space right now. Notably looking to bridge deal on EP40 and Q Hughes and Garland. The only UFA worth re-signing is Hamonic, who may go shopping. The rest of the money may turn into fresh signings to support good hockey in Abby. If we can trade Schmidt for Zadorov, (my wish) we might save another 1-2 m.

Sit and wait for contracts to expire for another season,. Then what? Your grabbing crystal balls. we have gotten rid of 3 stagnant contracts worth 12m, make it 13m with the retention. We have given up a Kaleidoscope Draft pick that we won’t see for 2-3 years . and we have 6m of free space. OEL will do well in Vancouver.. the desert is no where to hockey,. Shane Doan put them on the map because he loves it there, and he is/was Shane Doan. What did you exactly see happening next year, who comes in ? This is real,. Your lost perception is not.
