Vancouver Canucks Acquire Nikita Zadorov from Calgary Flames
Canucks Trade for Defensive Help
Details of the Trade
The Vancouver Canucks have acquired defenceman Nikita Zadorov from the Calgary Flames for a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NHL draft and a third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
Zadorov has played 58 games this season for the Flames, recording two goals and 16 assists. He is a physical presence on the ice, standing at 6'6" and weighing 230 pounds.
The move comes as the Canucks look to bolster their defence after struggling to keep the puck out of their net this season.
Zadorov is expected to make his debut for the Canucks on Friday night against the Edmonton Oilers.
Conclusion
The acquisition of Zadorov is a significant move for the Canucks, as they add a much-needed physical presence to their blue line.
Zadorov is a young player with plenty of upside, and his addition could help the Canucks turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs.
