Nikita Zadorov, a defenseman for the Calgary Flames, has requested a trade from the team. He is reportedly interested in moving to the Toronto Maple Leafs or the New Jersey Devils. Meanwhile, Flames rookie Connor Zary has been performing well, with a point in each of his 10 games this season. Zary and fellow forward call-up Martin Pospisil have combined for four goals in seven NHL games. There is also speculation about Dustin Wolf, another Flames player, getting a chance to make an impact. The Flames seem to be considering their options regarding Zadorov's trade request, with potential interest from Toronto, Vancouver, and New Jersey, although there is no rush to sell assets according to reports. The Flames have indicated that they will handle Zadorov's potential trade on their own timetable.
The latest from Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada: “I do think the #Flames made it very clear to Zadorov that while they might be willing to move him, they’re going to do it on their own timetable.”
Tor, Van, and NJD are the clubs with strong interest in Zadorov. Tanev, solid right shot Dman is a huge draw and, of course, Hanifin. The Flames are in no hurry to sell assets. If a team steps up in a big way, everything has to be considered. I’m not sensing urgency from Cgy.
Connor Zary won’t be headed back to the minors anytime soon. Fellow #Flames forward call-up Martin Pospisil is also pushing to stick around for a long while. Will their puck-stopping pal, Dustin Wolf, get a chance Saturday to make a similar statement? https://t.co/g1kKYQimzC
