Calgary Flames player Nikita Zadorov has requested a trade out of the franchise.<\/p>\n
The defenceman\u2019s camp, led by his agent Dan Milstein of Gold Star Sports Management, is expecting a swift solution.<\/p>\n
One of Nikita\u2019s preferred destinations is the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n
Zadorov notched and delivered a big hit to Maple Leafs\u2019 Tyler Bertuzzi in the 3rd<\/sup> period of yesterday\u2019s clash vs. Toronto. Flames were trailing 4-1 but got back in the match to force OT, but were defeated after a shootout.<\/p>\n Nikita has 1 goal and 4 assists for 5 points in 12 matches since the beginning of the campaign. The player is in his final year of a 2-year, 7-million-dollar contract that pays him 3.5 million dollars per season.<\/p>\n The Russian defenceman joined Calgary during the offseason in 2021 when the Chicago Blackhawks traded him for a 3rd<\/sup> round draft selection. Zadorov finished with a career-high 14 goals last campaign in his 2nd year with the Flames.<\/p>\n Nikita Zadorov would be so perfect for the #NJDevils<\/a>.<\/p>\n I hope they trade for him TODAY.<\/p>\n In addition to this massive hit, he had a goal in the Flames loss to the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n With him available, the Devils should consider.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/4zjpOo8Wkk<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Vinnie Parise (@VinnieParise) November 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
