i dont blame alvin for being careful about not wanting to budge on say a 7-8 year term. Players who play very physical tend to regress alot sooner then normal players. 3rd parings dont make over 3-4.

Props to alvin for not overpaying. We can find another big tough dman for our bottom pairing i.e. dillion. He has lots of cap space to cook with.

I for one am pleased that this group doesn’t overpay players and get stuck long term. Lots of anger here, where’s the anger at Z for asking so far above his actual stats and play - he’s not a young player that’s going to keep growing in stature

Ya and he didn’t pay much for Z. Got a great experience having him on the squad. Sometimes good things have to come to an end.

Love big Z but he over performed in the playoffs with some very lucky goals. Not reasonable to expect him to repeat that performance, but it did raise his stock heading into UFA. Makes a lot of sense for Nucks to pass. Sad to see him go though!

NOOOOO 😭😭ZADDY

Lol I loved Zadorov here and he was a MASSIVE piece (no pun but yes pun..) but he is not worth as much as him and his agent think lol. He should’ve taken a 4.8 X 6 and called it.

I know there will be a ton of disappointed fans about this news, but no contending team should be paying 5+ million on a #4/5 defenceman.

@@conservativeamber1216Tanev also wasn’t great in the final few games against Edmonton. Although I think he left a game due to injury so that could be why he looked worse. Huge tanev fan here. One of the worst mistakes this franchise ever made was letting tanny walk when he would have taken a hometown discount to stay

Why pay someone 6 mill when someone at 3-4 can get the job done love this move shows that they have a plan and are sticking to it in Alvin/JR we trust

The problem with Zadorov is that you can’t play him too high or too much, so he’s basically stuck as a number 4 guy. The scouting report is that if you play him as a number 1 or 2, he’s very prone to mental lapses, and $5-6mil is too much to pay for a number 4 guy.

Just need to have faith other guys can step in. Cant keep everyone. This is why we devolop players. Cant rely on free agency.

Lol let's discuss after free agency. Alvin has time to cook. Blame z for not taking a discount and props to Alvin for not overpaying

Ah well, lots of talent out there still.

Would have signed him over Myers!! Younger/ tougher and fun to watch

There are other options and when you have a salary cap, you can't sign everyone. You have to set limits or you end up with a lot of dead cap money. The Canucks already have theirs. There will be other guys available for less money who can fill out the roster. Depth is important. I wouldn't mind seeing DeBrusk play with Pettersson. He wouldn't be that expensive and he plays a hard, gritty game along with being virtually a perennial 20 goal scorer. Then they can add another top 6 or top 9 and a defenseman or 2. They need someone to play with Soucy.

Agree

Oh well. go after Trouba or keep ones they have and sign someone big.

Because they need to pay for a high quality top line winger. If they can get him, I'll take the $'s going to Guentzel instead of Zadorov, every time. A top winger can win games, Zadorov hits. Which asset gets you closer to a cup?

It is what it is!! Yeah we need hitters against teams like Nashville and Edm but not for $6Mill
