Zadorov

Here's how they compare this year.



Here's how they compare over the last three years.

Yeah thats fine. I did this today and also included Sceviour and Soderberg.

The thing is, cost certainty is no longer an issue for the Blackhawks, so the fact that Zadorov is still an RFA is all the control that really matters to us at the moment. Zadorov has handled being thrusted around the lineup and stayed pretty consistent. As I've said in other posts on here, I'm not going to claim that Zadorov is better than Pettersson, because I dont watch enough of Pettersson to make that claim, but this trade doesnt make sense from the Hawks perspective. He's been arguably the best LD on the team in the past few weeks, and while thats somewhat of an indictment on the rest of the D-corps, its also just because he has made some improvements and adjustments over the season.

the thing is the penguins don't need to downgrade to a statue.

If the penguins move MP it's not to bring in a LD anyway. They move him if they think the youth under him is ready to step up and bring at least the same level of play.
Not to just cycle the log jam at LD.
