Z has been everything we've needed for a while. His presence and physicality is something we've been missing for a while. Hoping we re-sign Big Z and hope he stays a Canuck. Everyone plays bigger when Z and Dak are in the lineup, he's been an awesome addition.

Thank you for asking my question Scott Oake and I loved how Zadorov answered the question. I too dislike how clean hits = fights nowadays. But Nikita is a beast on the ice. I was streaming about the Canucks game and my phone was blowing up from friends that saw my question being asked on HNIC After Hours. I love having Zadorov on our Canucks and I really hope he re-signs and stays in Vancouver for a long time. He's the player we need and want on our team.
