Nhl trade news today – Nikita zadorov trade to vancouver canucks from calgary flames for what I think is an underwhelming return for flames fans, but for the canucks this bolsters their D in a pretty big way and is a pretty big W for them. Subscribe for reactions/coverage of nhl highlights today , news and trade rumours , more calgary flames vancouver canucks videos and more. We might be seeing more big nhl trades here as the toronto maple leafs trade rumors mill will not slow down as they need a defenceman, and of course the vancouver canucks news will stay up as they’re clearly making a push to get even better, while the calgary flames just made a clearly-indicated “sell” move. It’s funny because a nikita zadorov interview pre-game was just released by the flames a couple hours ago, and now he’s gone. Nhl hockey

At first i thought us canucks got robbed but I realized we got a pick from 2026
Benning would of gave a 1st.
Good thing they didn’t get Huberbust
Conroy is a really bad GM we flames fan are screwed long as he makes these deals
Please god leafs do something about the defense i cant keep watching our goalies get tortured by horrible defensive gaffes
Oilers probably offered Nurse or a 2nd rounder but nah can't trade him to them. And then they trade him to their second bitter rival? Flames truly do suck in 2023.
Well, time for me to eat crow, I guess. I thought that Zadorov's trade request was him throwing a curveball into the media frenzy around the team, because at the time, the Flames were pathetic, and something like this would give them something to chew on instead of how bad the team was. I really thought he was blowing smoke.
He's got such a good presence on the ice, Canucks stole him at that price. Although he takes a lot of penalties I think it's forgivable with how hard he plays on the ice, and how much of a team player he is. Sad to see him go.
Is that the best offer we got from anyone!?!?!?
As a Canucks fan, I'm starting to get Pat Quinn era vibes from this team.
I'm not a NHL GM for a reason, but I'd rather sit a guy than take a 3rd and a 5th rounder in the current Defense market.
As a flames fan I am happy for Big Z, it seems like he was the only one that was actually trying and win the games lately.
Worst trade I’ve seen in a long time. Enjoy big z vancouver as a flames fan I definitely enjoyed watching him play every night
For fack sakes. It does sound like a Calgary Toronto trade. Unbelievable.
A distant 3rd and a 5th 💩💩😂😂
Flames FO is a complete joke.
It can't hurt to beef up their defense at this point . Makes you wonder about how serious the Leafs actually were about getting him.
Once again Conroy got fleeced as GM. One more trade like this one and Conroy should be fired.
Damn the Flames got nothing for him.
Conroy is low key genius
He's an absolute monster, such a big guy! Good deal for the Canucks, he'll help our d line lots.
This was such a dumb trade on Calgary's part lol
Read the main factor for Vancouver getting Zadorov was the Canucks were willing to take on the entire salary remaining, while the Leafs were asking the Flames to retain some of it. The Leafs probably had a better offer but that one demand of retaining salary was the deal breaker.
overrated and overpaid rusky pylon, as likely to hit an opponent as a teammate
old patty cakes lookin like a genius
This makes no sense to me. 5th round pick is literally worth nothing. A third round pick is not much more.
Calgary has 0 leverage will probs get a 4th liner & 3rd pick for hanifin smh 😪
HOLY SHIT! I honestly thought we’d never get him. This is a HUGE W for the team. There is no way this doesn’t help the Canucks build on their success this season. Not saying he is THE missing piece for cup contention, but man… what a boost to the roster for practically nothing. 👍🏻👍🏻
Not Canucks fan but I'm really impressed with what the new leadership in Vancouver is doing. Would be good for the franchise if they go deep in the playoffs this season.
