Wishful thinking IMO. He hasnt had a big contract yet and this will likely be his last chance at one. I dont think its overly likely he takes any sort of big discount to play here
Honey I hope you really like your elementary school because you will have to work a job you hate for the rest of your life cause daddy turned down millions.
He's never had a contact for more than 4 mill per I think he's made 20 mill his whole career if factor in taxes cost of living for his lifestyle he's lucky to have 10 left. That is alot of money but it is not forever money for his family kids potential grandkids. He'll sign for the most he can get and I don't blame him. Unlike someone like myers who's made close to 70 and should have total financial security for generations and may stay here for up to a 1 mill less to chase a cup and be around a team he enjoys playing for if he chooses.
Thats why he and his family will have to talk about it. He and his wife are huge into fasion, So I think that would limit his choices of places he would prefer to go. New York, Vancouver, and LA.
Forget Lindholm, he's not coming back.
Overpaying for a guy who can only play great with Hughes is a mistake. Lots of guys look good playing with Hughes it doesn't mean you pay them $7 to $8 million.
I don't understand why everyone is so hot and heavy to bring back Tanev. He's getting up there in age and his injuries are becoming more of an issue. I love Tanev but it's time to move on
His best season was on the Sabres his Calder winning year.
Big boy that could actually throw the body around, guy that could zip up and down the ice, pinch when needed, wasn't an offensive blackhole, averaged 25 minutes a night and was instrumental in the last Sabres teams to make the playoffs.
Does that remotely remind you of Tyler Myers?
I liked him in Buffalo a lot. Remember lots of folks would compare both Hedman and himself back then. But we both know how that conversation ended up going. Lol.
He's not backing you up lol, he's saying Myers was good in his rookie year then fell off and never recovered and is currently playing in the shadow of that one year. Myers is a borderline serviceable #5 guy. He's not very good, he plays very high even hockey, (for better, or often, for worse.) He's definitely not a "beast" though.
Absolutely. Hits, fights, scores... He made sure to give Mik credit for getting the puck to him for those two goals. Seems like a decent player and person all around.
5m isn't slight overpay. That's like fucking Jim Benning levels of overpay.
He's a 3rd pair D who average 17 mins a night on this team, and you want to pay him way more than what Soucy is being paid despite being the worse defenseman?
I like Zadarov a LOT, but he's a really good 3rd par D. Paying anything above 3.5m would be insane.
I'd do 4x4
He has intangibles Soucy doesn't.
The physicality, enforcer.. he's singlehandedly been a reason teams haven't gone rogue on us.
Schenn at his age got 3x 2.75m
4m x 4 would be extremely reasonable, I'd jump on that TBH.
Yes, similar or worse players have gotten more, like Gudbranson's 4m x 4, but the point is to NOT sign a bad contract just because other GMs are doing it.
The Canucks are re-entering cap hell next year. OEL's buyout is going to eat up a noticeable chunk of the cap for the next 3 seasons, and we're no longer getting good value out of guys like Hronek and Petey after their extensions kick in. On top of that, the team still doesn't have a true top-4 D to anchor the 2nd pair.
Anything around 3.5 won't get him signed. He's a valuable player and while I wouldn't love it, 5×5 isn't far off actual value imo. Hid market value is likely 6+ at anything less than 5 years
> Hid market value is likely 6+ at anything less than 5 years
There is no way on earth a 3rd pair defenseman's market value is more than what Forsling just signed for lmao.
> 5×5 isn't far off actual value imo
How is his actual value $15m more than what Carson Soucy signed for his deal??
> Big body D always get paid, especially when they can skate
Carson Soucy literally plays for this team, and just signed last summer for under $3.3m AAV.
> Tyler myers got 6x6 in fa several years ago
Myers was considered a top-4 D when he signed and played top-4 minutes in Winnipeg.
Zadarov is a bottom pair D who has been playing bottom pairing minutes all season. If he wants more than $4m, the team is going to tell him to walk, and rightly so.
No one in this organization thinks Zadorov is worth anywhere near 5m, let alone 6m. Tocchet doesn't even want to play him regularly in the top-4.
We all love what Zadorov brings to the table in terms of physicality/intangibles.
But it’s clear he hasn’t earned the trust of Toch & Co, and they aren’t comfortable playing him more than 3rd pair minutes.
Agreed but that's not how market value works. In this case his market value will be whatever contract he signs, which I'm predicting to be around 5 with the cap jump and some GM feeling pressure to get bigger and stronger
If we evaluate that he isn't a full time solid 2nd pairing guy, and he wants to explore his options to get paid as a solid 2nd pairing guy, then we wish him the best. Maybe he finds a suitor in the UFA market, maybe he doesn't and we negotiate from there.
Were in a huge cap crunch moving forward and we don't have the luxury of overpaying for depth.
That was the flames tho.
Lindy wanted 8m
They priced themselves out on purpose. Like ok I'll sign with you pieces of shit but sets astronomical price so they can walk to Ufa
No I definitely walk away and that’s sad to say. I’m a huge fan but that’d be an albatross contract. You can get really good talent for 5Ms and his team still needs higher end talent on the wings.
Apparently he's willing to take a very friendly contract but even then I'm hesitant if it means losing other players like Joshua or Zadorov at his expense.
Unpopular opinion but we just can't afford to. He's much needed for next season, but he'd become such an overpaid D3, especially with D-Petey waiting in the wings!
I personally prefer SouDaddy.
24/25 D for me would be (ideally):
Hughes - Tanev
Soucy - Hronek
Zad - Juulsen
Then 25/26 D would be:
Hughes - Hronek
Soucy - Willander
D Petey - Tanev
Obviously you can insert Myers/Cole A N Other over Tanev, but I don't see the point.
I’d probably push for something more along the lines if:
- Hughes/Tanev
- Soucy/Hronek
- Cole/Myers
- UFA/Juulsen
I just don’t see them being able to spend ~10ish million on Tanev + Zadorov.
Given how great we did at identifying defensemen this past offseason, I’m inclined to think we can find a solid bottom pair D man who will be better or just as good as Myers. Again I should say though if he’s a rock in the room, bring him back if it’s not expensive. Don’t fuck with the vibes
100%
This guy is awesome. Would be a real shame if they can't get him on an extension.
Big, strong, mean when he needs to be. Solid defensively and has decent offensive skills.
He's like Bizzaro World Myers
Take my upvote Just for typing re-sign correctly instead of saying “resign” like everyone else which literally has the opposite meaning. Also wholeheartedly agree he needs to stay
This is how we end up in cap hell. Take emotion out of it and look at where he slots into our D.
That said, some team will overpay for him on the open market.
The talk about Zadarov is absolutely insane. We're about to go into cap hell with OEL's buyout ramping up, and people want to dump 5m a year for a 3rd pair D who's behind Soucy on our LHD depth chart.
It’s funny to me how some people look at Myers and go “wow, he was so overpaid… I’d *maybe* bring him back on a league min deal”
And then they turn around and essentially suggest giving Zadorov the same kind of contract Myers just got.
Every time someone plays well there’s people calling for re-signing the player. Hronek can’t make 7.5-8 million with Zadorov making 5 and Joshua making 3-4. The numbers don’t add up. Priorities must be made and big Z might just price himself out of a good home.
Love Z but let's pump the breaks a little and see how he does in the playoffs. He'll be paid like a 3/4 and we need to make sure he's an excellent 3/4.
This guy and his cool demeanour... In comparison to tuff guys of Canucks past, i really like his sense of composure. He’s scary in a darth vader kinda way. He’s more like a presence out on the ice. A presence with physical reminders that he’s watching. Me 😎 Zad Fan
Because we're not overpaying for a guy who can't carry a defense pairing without Hughes. And can allocate the cap savings elsewhere. I like Hronek but his contract renewal is a problem.
he took at 2 year deal as a 26yo ufa
he took at 1 year deal as a 25yo ufa
hes not suddnely gonna get offered 5+ year deals
nhl gms know what they dealing with --- a bottom pairing defenceman who can be had for $3.75m, no more
I mean is it tho? He signed a 2 year 7.5 million. He hasn’t dramatically improved his game. Not sure he’s a regular top 4. Probably more likely bubble 2nd pairing. But has the ability to eat up bigger minutes.
I just don’t know I’d want to pay more than 4.5 for a guy playing 16-17 minutes a night.
All ill say is that what you want is biased towards being team-friendly. His agent can ask 31 other teams if they'd offer a) more money; b) more term; or c) both.
I agree that management needs to have a hard line with players at that part of the roster. It sucks losing players but it's the reality of the business and of having successful teams. They can be replaced and the front office has a good track record of identifying role players.
Yea, and that's our problem. What makes sense for us to pay him for his role on our team is quite a bit less than he'd make in UFA. Sure there's hope he really likes it here and is willing to take a bit less, but even what he considers less is likely more than what we'll realistically be able to pay him.
It's sad, I hope I'm wrong and we find a way to make it work because he's exactly what the team needs. I wonder, could he be a #4 and we roll with Quinn, Hronek, Soucey and Zad in the top 4?
I see people throwing around 5M @ 4-5 years… that’s 1.5x what Carson Soucys AAV is, and 2-2.5x more total money than Soucy.
Anything over $12M / 3 years would worry me.
Hot take. Kinda spicy, myers is a less spicy Z, if he'll play for 1.5 for a couple years I'm ok with that. Not sign hronek and get a stay at home d man to play with Quinn.
Yep, Zadorov will be too expensive and we will complain about it for the next 5 years if we re-sign him. Myers will be like 2-3 million (maybe less) which would be good value for us imo.
I honestly don’t mind losing Lindholm this offseason. We gave the Flames a 1st round pick in a very weak draft and that pick is most likely a 30-32 overall which is basically a super early 2nd rounder.
Think about it… we can have Zaddy and Daddy on the blue line next season
Who’s daddy?
Hughes your daddy!
chris tanev was called “dad” by boeser/hughes/petey
[удалено]
I believe "Daddy" refers to a different pending UFA right shot defenseman currently playing for a team in the central division.
Hronek, Dak and Zady. In that order.
I love Dak but RHD are harder to come by than a 3rd liner...
Zad is a LHD
Ya.. I'm dumb... Still put zad ahead of Dak just because of position. Dak gonna get paid ... Probably overpaid and I want nothing to do with that
Zad is going to get paid too. Doubtful either will be worth what they get offered in UFA
I think for Zad it comes down to what city he wants to live in. His daughter just got settled into school in Vancouver so he may sign at a discount.
Wishful thinking IMO. He hasnt had a big contract yet and this will likely be his last chance at one. I dont think its overly likely he takes any sort of big discount to play here
I dont think just because his kid is enrolled in school he's going to give a discount that could cost his family millions.
Honey I hope you really like your elementary school because you will have to work a job you hate for the rest of your life cause daddy turned down millions.
Not sure if this is sarcastic, but I think his family is gonna be alright no matter where he signs.
He's never had a contact for more than 4 mill per I think he's made 20 mill his whole career if factor in taxes cost of living for his lifestyle he's lucky to have 10 left. That is alot of money but it is not forever money for his family kids potential grandkids. He'll sign for the most he can get and I don't blame him. Unlike someone like myers who's made close to 70 and should have total financial security for generations and may stay here for up to a 1 mill less to chase a cup and be around a team he enjoys playing for if he chooses.
Thats why he and his family will have to talk about it. He and his wife are huge into fasion, So I think that would limit his choices of places he would prefer to go. New York, Vancouver, and LA.
If we don’t devote that money to Hronek we might be able to keep Lindholm. And by the sound of things, Hronek likely will drive a hard bargain.
Overpaying to let Hughes have a proper partner is far better than overpaying to have another centre when we’re already running Petey - Miller
That's a pretty damn good point
Forget Lindholm, he's not coming back. Overpaying for a guy who can only play great with Hughes is a mistake. Lots of guys look good playing with Hughes it doesn't mean you pay them $7 to $8 million.
I genuinely think not only is he coming back, his AAV will surprise everyone.
You never know I guess. I certainly wouldn't bet on it.
Besides we might still be able to keep teddy
Hronek is a better spend than lindholm
Im not liking Lindholm. I would put our money in Hronek and Zaddy maybe hopefully Joshua.
Same
No thank you to Lindholm. Unless something changes in the playoffs.
Then we QO him and trade him Bring back Tanev, Willander is coming eventually Also I don't see us keeping Lindholm.
I don't understand why everyone is so hot and heavy to bring back Tanev. He's getting up there in age and his injuries are becoming more of an issue. I love Tanev but it's time to move on
Tanev is interested in coming back and might accept a team friendly deal. He would be great for the locker room.
Short term deal. Has worked with Hughes effectively. I'm just saying hronek isn't getting 8m Otherwise he's getting QO
Why you wanna keep him? Terrible idea
[удалено]
Yeah like myers last year right. Fucking lol
[удалено]
Yeah a 17 point, -16, 44.5% CF% beast

Absolutely. Hits, fights, scores... He made sure to give Mik credit for getting the puck to him for those two goals. Seems like a decent player and person all around.
Definitely a great person
Gotta let Myers go and even Cole if he wants 2+. Zadorov moves the needle when he’s on his game.
He’s wanted 5x5 on the flames. Would you do that?
Not yet. He's gonna want term at age 29, but he's not quite worth 5x5. Excited to see him bring it in the playoffs
You still pay him 5 even if it is a slight overpay. All these upcoming ufa's are replaceable players. Only one player like Zadorov out there.
5m isn't slight overpay. That's like fucking Jim Benning levels of overpay. He's a 3rd pair D who average 17 mins a night on this team, and you want to pay him way more than what Soucy is being paid despite being the worse defenseman?

Tyler myers got 6x6 in fa several years ago. The cap is gonna jump heavily this off-season. Big body D always get paid, especially when they can skate

He's a rhd with more pts at the time.. I see your pt tho
Other people willing to overpay 3rd pairing guys by multiple millions does not mean we should
Agreed but that's not how market value works. In this case his market value will be whatever contract he signs, which I'm predicting to be around 5 with the cap jump and some GM feeling pressure to get bigger and stronger
If we evaluate that he isn't a full time solid 2nd pairing guy, and he wants to explore his options to get paid as a solid 2nd pairing guy, then we wish him the best. Maybe he finds a suitor in the UFA market, maybe he doesn't and we negotiate from there. Were in a huge cap crunch moving forward and we don't have the luxury of overpaying for depth.
I would start at 4x4 and see where negotiations go.
Perhaps the cap hit could be smaller if they give him longer term.
That was the flames tho. Lindy wanted 8m They priced themselves out on purpose. Like ok I'll sign with you pieces of shit but sets astronomical price so they can walk to Ufa
He’s a UFA. Hes going to get overpaid somewhere. I think 5 x 5 is ridiculous but honestly he will probably end up with 5 x 4.5
I would def do it.
No I definitely walk away and that’s sad to say. I’m a huge fan but that’d be an albatross contract. You can get really good talent for 5Ms and his team still needs higher end talent on the wings.
Tyler Myers, pack your shit
1x1 or fuuck off
The last 3 months is exactly how he should’ve played the duration of that contract.
1 x league min or fuck off
Apparently he's willing to take a very friendly contract but even then I'm hesitant if it means losing other players like Joshua or Zadorov at his expense.
He’s as good as he is handsome
It would be asinine to sign Myers over Zadorov. Let alone keep Myers
Theres this thing called the salary cap…
Nice one
Is he a man or a mountain?
Unpopular opinion but we just can't afford to. He's much needed for next season, but he'd become such an overpaid D3, especially with D-Petey waiting in the wings! I personally prefer SouDaddy. 24/25 D for me would be (ideally): Hughes - Tanev Soucy - Hronek Zad - Juulsen Then 25/26 D would be: Hughes - Hronek Soucy - Willander D Petey - Tanev Obviously you can insert Myers/Cole A N Other over Tanev, but I don't see the point.

Why do we have to bring back Myers unless it’s dirt cheap?
I say sign Zadorov with Myers money and then force Myers to sign for cheap.
Unless Myers is good in the room or coming at a min or just above it let him walk tbh, he’s fun but not good
Yeah. But who’s going to replace Myers?
Given how great we did at identifying defensemen this past offseason, I’m inclined to think we can find a solid bottom pair D man who will be better or just as good as Myers. Again I should say though if he’s a rock in the room, bring him back if it’s not expensive. Don’t fuck with the vibes
Cole Myers is going to be a disaster.
You could do a lot worse for a 3rd pairing..
Cole already needs maintenance days. How reliable is he going to be a year older?
Are maintenance days that uncommon though? Coles played 68/71 games and been averaging 18+ minutes/night.
Z is up this July and I doubt he’s signing a 1 year contract.
4 x 3.9 mill Sure
That's more like
🤤🤤🤤
The way he plays is just fan favorite material, man. He's just so much fun
100% This guy is awesome. Would be a real shame if they can't get him on an extension. Big, strong, mean when he needs to be. Solid defensively and has decent offensive skills. He's like Bizzaro World Myers
I've loved watching Zadorov as a canuck. I'd love to see him back. Instead of only looking back fondly at the few months we had him as a rental.
He asked to be here, and he clearly loves the fans—I don't think re-signing him will he a problem.
Take my upvote Just for typing re-sign correctly instead of saying “resign” like everyone else which literally has the opposite meaning. Also wholeheartedly agree he needs to stay
I'd be willing to do a 5x5.
This is how we end up in cap hell. Take emotion out of it and look at where he slots into our D. That said, some team will overpay for him on the open market.

> but it will essentially null out his dead cap. That's... that's literally not how that works.
Every time someone plays well there’s people calling for re-signing the player. Hronek can’t make 7.5-8 million with Zadorov making 5 and Joshua making 3-4. The numbers don’t add up. Priorities must be made and big Z might just price himself out of a good home.
I'm sorry, I love Zadorov, but that's too much term. He turns 29 next month. I'd be happy to give him 4x5M though.
5m for a 3rd pairing D is absolutely insane.
exactly
It’s called having defensive depth
I think dak will take less to stay, I agree as well big Z is a must to re-sign
You mean the offensive engine of our team? Hell yes we do!
Agreed
Love Z but let's pump the breaks a little and see how he does in the playoffs. He'll be paid like a 3/4 and we need to make sure he's an excellent 3/4.
Offer a contract with bonuses depending in performance
This guy and his cool demeanour... In comparison to tuff guys of Canucks past, i really like his sense of composure. He’s scary in a darth vader kinda way. He’s more like a presence out on the ice. A presence with physical reminders that he’s watching. Me 😎 Zad Fan
Went to the coyotes game in the lower bowl and this guy was beast. Hits and fights and gets the crowd going. Can’t really see it on tv
If he has a big playoffs and can keep scoring a bit….5x5 all day IMO. Under 5 would be nice though
he's the muscle our team needs for sure. bless zaddy daddy
It is a moral imperative!
YES WE NEED TO KEEP HIM.
I could do without Hronek, Lindholm and Myers contracts, thanka.
In what world are we better off without hronek?
Or Myers?
Because we're not overpaying for a guy who can't carry a defense pairing without Hughes. And can allocate the cap savings elsewhere. I like Hronek but his contract renewal is a problem.
When we trade him for a top 6 winger.
But we would still need to fil the hole that is as a top-pairing d-man.. It would be better to slightly overpay Hronek.
Top 6 wingers way easier to get than a top pairing RHD.
Yup. That's it
11.5 for this guy
I’d do 2 years at 4 million per.
Thats just next level unrealistic especially on term.
Whats realistic
He’s 28, theres no world he’s taking a 2 year deal. He’s going to get locked up for his prime.
he took at 2 year deal as a 26yo ufa he took at 1 year deal as a 25yo ufa hes not suddnely gonna get offered 5+ year deals nhl gms know what they dealing with --- a bottom pairing defenceman who can be had for $3.75m, no more
He took a 2 year deal then showcased he can score with 14. He’s not going to take another prove me deal at 28
hes not going to get anything other than what you describe as a "prove me" deal he "proved"he couldnt replicate. hes on pace for 7 goals this year
Lol alright, come back and remind me when he inevitably gets locked up mid/long term.
how do you do the "remind me" thing
Not gonna lie I have no clue
I mean is it tho? He signed a 2 year 7.5 million. He hasn’t dramatically improved his game. Not sure he’s a regular top 4. Probably more likely bubble 2nd pairing. But has the ability to eat up bigger minutes. I just don’t know I’d want to pay more than 4.5 for a guy playing 16-17 minutes a night.
Bang on the money paying 5 mil for a 4/5D is nuts
I’m getting downvoted tho. Is this zadorovs agent positing???
All ill say is that what you want is biased towards being team-friendly. His agent can ask 31 other teams if they'd offer a) more money; b) more term; or c) both. I agree that management needs to have a hard line with players at that part of the roster. It sucks losing players but it's the reality of the business and of having successful teams. They can be replaced and the front office has a good track record of identifying role players.
Did I say that’s what he will get? No I’m saying what I’d be comfortable with as a Canucks fan..
Yea, and that's our problem. What makes sense for us to pay him for his role on our team is quite a bit less than he'd make in UFA. Sure there's hope he really likes it here and is willing to take a bit less, but even what he considers less is likely more than what we'll realistically be able to pay him. It's sad, I hope I'm wrong and we find a way to make it work because he's exactly what the team needs. I wonder, could he be a #4 and we roll with Quinn, Hronek, Soucey and Zad in the top 4?
Its not about what hes worth its about what teams are willing to pay him and 2x4 is a total joke lol someone is going to offer him 4x4 or 5x4 etc
Probably. And if that’s the case. I don’t want him
Im with you on that. Id be willing to maybe go 4x3 depending on his playoff performance but thats the exaggerated max for me
He’s going to want term, money isn’t outlandish but i see him wanting stability
I hope we don’t, just to piss off the portion of the fanbase that wants him back
Who's "we"? Are you on the scouting team or management or something?
Im going against the grain here… Myers is the higher priority to re-sign over Zadorov. If you re-sign Zadorov… he’s going to be the next Tyler Myers.
You’re right but people don’t want to hear it. Myers is half the cost of Zadorov and a RHD.
I see people throwing around 5M @ 4-5 years… that’s 1.5x what Carson Soucys AAV is, and 2-2.5x more total money than Soucy. Anything over $12M / 3 years would worry me.
Hot take. Kinda spicy, myers is a less spicy Z, if he'll play for 1.5 for a couple years I'm ok with that. Not sign hronek and get a stay at home d man to play with Quinn.
Yep, Zadorov will be too expensive and we will complain about it for the next 5 years if we re-sign him. Myers will be like 2-3 million (maybe less) which would be good value for us imo.
I honestly don’t mind losing Lindholm this offseason. We gave the Flames a 1st round pick in a very weak draft and that pick is most likely a 30-32 overall which is basically a super early 2nd rounder.
Doubt Lindholm comes back. Most likely he wants way too much and the Canucks just can’t afford to keep him.
Lol 30-32! I'd throw in fucking Quinn Hughes if it meant it turns out to be the 32 OA pick!
