Zadorov is definitely not getting 4 years at that price. He is a serviceable #4/5 at best. 1 years at QO is what I would give him. Just to be a stopgap for Valimaki

I think you are going to be disappointed lol Tucker Poolman got 2.5!

The cost isnt the problem, he's not worth that term as someone brought in almost strictly to be an insurance policy on if Valimaki is ready for top 4 or not

Tucker was also a UFA, Zadorov is an RFA with Arb rights, at most he will get 2 years even if they go to an arbitrator

Why would you not keep him though? He is young enough (only being 30 / 31 at expire) and its not like we have some superstar waiting in the wings. Even if Vali passes him of the depth chart, you still need depth.

Cost, major contracts next year
