Thats fair, that is generally how negotiations work

Not real news, only referring to pre-playoff talks, move along.
NerdPunch
Not surprising, and I doubt Van is making their best offer this early in the negotiations.

Aquillini: Fine, we’ll add in an extra bushel of bluberries and 2 large pizzas from Pizza Hut. BUT 2 TOPPINGS ONLY.

I might have to have words with him.

Dudes going to have plenty of offers come July 1st, if we want to keep him we’re going to have to meet the market price.
I just wonder what the hell that number is, if Myers was able to swing 6×5 in 2019 as a 2RD, surely Zadorov could swing the same number as a 2LD in 2024 coming off of a hot playoff run

All I’m gonna say is I love Zadorov, but if he’s asking 5-6M, you let him walk. He’s not a top 4 defenseman and never will be.
helixflush
How much should he be making?
Drflo30
Isn’t that the Michael Scott rule of negotiating. Never accept their first offer.
MyNameIsSkittles
Ok so nothing new has been discussed. This isn’t news at all
julesieee
Playoff Zadorov is worth more than $5mil 😎

Also if the player accepts the first offer then you offered too much.

I just hope management isn’t wearing the same rose-coloured glasses us fans are with these players.

Not sure where this ends up or what a contract needs to look like but I’m just thrilled we’re looking to sign him and the wheels are already in motion this quickly.

Reminds me of the Simpsons.
Homer: (in his head) Reject the first offer.
Burns: May I offer you a drink?
Homer: Sorry Burns, no deal!
MustardSpaghetti
He said cap hit was to high, send me a lower offer ferda

Ideal post for knee jerk to drop some heat

Zadorov’s brain:
« Reject the first offer, reject the first offer »
Alvin: « can I get you something to drink? »
Z: « Sorry, Patrick. No Deal! »

Then make him a 2nd offer? 😝

Boys, it’s time to implement the Go Fund Me accounts, Pateron bi-weekly fundraising endeavours, and door-to-door « hat in hand » Interac debit direct donation mongering.
We need Zadorov
SkidmarkDave
Without knowing the numbers firsthand it’s hard to form an opinion on this. Apparently he’s projected at 5 year $5.2mil. Curious how far off that we are negotiating at

Such a Diva probably offered him too much to still have a cup contender so he’s holding out for league minimum
GoldenChest2000
I’m not even sure if I’d want Zadorov at a 4.5 x 5…
Dodged a bullet here folks and nice knowing you Z

Counter offer: we riot

At age 29, I feel like zaddy also has the potential to get better as he has matured and understands how to use his size, compared to even 2 years ago.
