This one blew me away. Hopefully, they'll pair him with McAvoy and both can play their game together. And the next time teams try to nullify Mac, Zadorov might have something to say about it. EDIT: this guy really did a lot of research about Boston, the fans and the org. He cares. He's engaged. That's big!

This is a great contract. He could have been singed elsewhere for 6 mil. Lindholm was also paid less than expected, most had him at 8+ mil. If Lindholm gets his game back and Zadorov continues to impress with his shutdown ability and toughness, these are steals.

Bruins management definitely decided that having 5 large and quality defenders wasn’t adequate. Sweeney’s staff could have gone for good value on a UFA winger to replace DeBrusk, but instead they confidently decided they want six stud or stud-lite defensemen on the roster. Zadorov, McAvoy, Lindholm, and Carlo makes an elite-tier top four, especially when Lohrei/Wotherspoon with Peeke is an average-at-worst bottom pairing.

@@SomeOne-uy4kj I’m a Flames fan, and we did NOT keep him around. The guy had his agent publicly demand a trade on the same night as Mike Vernon’s HOF pre-game ceremony, overshadowed the special night of one of the greatest to ever don the flaming C. Pretty fkn classless, if you ask me. As for his actual play, I was a huge fan of his early on, more offensively skilled than he gets credit for, but surprisingly clueless on the defensive end at times, rather low hockey IQ. Didn’t see enough of the good to warrant paying him what he thought he was worth, let alone play him in the top four. $5M is an overpay, only by about a mill, but still a lot for what is effectively a bottom pairing dman, regardless. I can actually see him doing well in Boston, if he buys into the system.

He’s almost 6’7 actually. Every site has him listed at 6 foot 6 but, he’s like a few centimeters from being 6’7. He’s arguably just as strong as chara was. he certainly hits more, chara was more of a skilled guy 2 way d man. This Nikita guy is more of a defensive defenseman, but he’s really strong. He plays great stay at home defense, and he hits and fights constantly.
