The Vancouver Canucks have hit the jackpot with their trade deadline acquisition, and it's not Elias Lindholm. It's the big rig, Nikita Zadorov who has been a crucial piece to their underdog run.
According to many rumours, the pending UFA will be getting payed during the off-season, whether he re-signs with the Canucks or tests the market, the big Z will be a rich man.
The Leafs interest for Zadorov has been known, with them chasing him back when he was in Calgary before he eventually got traded to the Canucks. It's obvious Brad Treliving wanted a big body and missed out on Zadorov so he went to go acquire the closest comparable, Joel Edmundson.
