Pretty underwhelming return to me. Especially in division.
We got him for a 3rd, and he’s only improved since then.
Sounds about right
So basically a slim Jim, a piece of 5 gum, and a bag of used pucks, Cool!
Remember, we paid Chicago a 3rd to get him in the first place.
Fine by me 👍🏼
Absolutely fleeced. And to a division rival at that.
I was secretly hoping for the Ben Chiarot special but if you actually watch Zadorov play this is closer to fair value. Thanks for your service Zad
This is exactly what I was telling everyone who’s team sell. The returns for these guys in this cap strapped market aren’t going to be particularly high.
Very likely neither of these picks end up being NHL calibre players.
We gave up a 3rd to get him and get one back for dumping him. After how he’s played since the trade request, we should consider ourselves lucky we even managed to get this return for him. Oesterle/Gilbert-Desimone pairing do be kinda horrifying though
Gross. Feel like Conroy could have done better but what do I know
Kinda expected that return tbh. Although was kinda hoping for a second
Figured he would have fetched more than that. Tad disappointing
Everyone up in arms already, no surprise there. Let Conroy cook, he just freed up cap space and we got back more for Zadorov than we paid for him.
5th and 3rd? Not terrible.
Not great, but not terrible.
Value is about right. Would’ve preferred a second or 2024 3rd, but fan expectations for value are out of whack big time.
He’s a solid #5d who wanted out lol. And some ppl were expecting first round value still… no.
I wonder if he was making the room toxic and it was time to move on. It’s not an ideal return, but I would guess the offers were extremely low because he went public with his trade request. Great opportunity for the kids in the AHL to seize a spot on our D now.
Somewhat expected for a 3rd pairing defender that publicly wanted out and then had a couple shitty games.
He must’ve been terrible in the locker room this season.
Dude is a 3rd pairing player who publicly requested a trade. Some people heavily overvalued him
My highest price on him was 2 3rds and maybe a little more if they retained. Guy had 1 amazing season but often is a liability.
This is a Conroy W for me. Zadorov is not a good player. He’s an average and inconsistent 3rd pairing player
So many people over valued him. Thinking we could get a first. This goes to show what his true value is. He may have gone for a 2nd to a desperate team near the deadline but that’s a gamble. I think it’s a good deal for sure
Return is as expected, only thing I don’t like is where they sent him too.
That’s a reasonable return for a bottom pair defenseman who demanded a trade very publicly in November. For everyone complaining that Conny didn’t get enough just remember that Zadorov made it so he had absolutely zero leverage at all.
What did people really expect for him? He wasn’t going to garner a blue chip prospect, nor is he worth a first or a second.
Pack your shit whiner.
JFC Conroy has traded Z & Tof for a bag of wet dog hair. How do these clowns get front office jobs? You were a hockey player, clearly not a great hockey business mind, holy fucking fuck me.
Also, Solovyov called up when?
He won’t get Power play time in Vancouver either, so I don’t know if his agent helped him at all for being vocal.
Oh well, Flames need more Wranglers up in the big leagues. Onto the next one!
The reactions from some people in this thread remind me of when we traded Baertschi to the Canucks for a 2015 2nd rounder, and everybody freaked out saying we got fleeced. Then that 2nd rounder ended up being Rasmus Andersson.
