Many were wondering what the offer was to Nikita Zadorov, especially since reports in recent weeks suggested that both sides were willing to compromise a bit. According to Darren Dreger of TSN, the Canucks offered Zadorov a contract that was as high as $5 million per season, but the blueliner believes he can get more on the open market next week.
Zadorov, 29, had a solid tenure for the Vancouver Canucks since his trade from the Calgary Flames back at the end of November. Zadorov skated in 54 games during the regular season for Vancouver, putting up 14 points (five goals, nine assists), 102 penalty minutes and was a plus-six. He went on to add eight points (four goals, four assists) in 13 Stanley Cup Playoff contests.
