Nikita Zadorov Already Done in Vancouver?
Nikita Zadorov was a big bodied addition for the Vancouver Canucks this season, who gave up very little to land him from Calgary, and now we may know exactly why.
Nikita Zadorov could be moved by the Vancouver Canucks
According to a report, his role in Vancouver may not be solidified, and with the March 8 trade deadline still over five weeks away, we may not be seeing him in a Canucks jersey for long.
"You're starting to hear the odd thing, I'm wonder how happy they are with him and I don't mean just on the ice. I'm wondering how he's meshing in that room...I'm not so sure there's a mesh there right now..."
Canucks Central
With the likes of Tyler Myers in Vancouver, Zadorov was meant to fill a role as another big bodied, physical defenseman to help the Vancouver Canucks, but for whatever reason, they just haven't meshed at this point.
Not only is he struggling to mesh on the ice, but in the locker room as well, as Don Taylor has suggested that it may not be very harmonious for the Canucks behind the scenes with Zadorov either.
In 24 games for Vancouver, the 6-foot-6 blue liner has tallied just four assists, and after notching a career high 14 goals a season ago for Calgary, it's safe to say this has been disappointing.
Whether or not the team look to move him is still up in the air, but to move him after just acquiring him would suggest his value has gone down tremendously, so don't expect anything soon as they'll look to work through things, but if it doesn't work, this could be a potential move at the trade deadline.
