Multiple players cause horrible news for Canucks organization
Former Blackhawk Nikita Zadorov ruining his shot with contending team
The Vancouver Canucks were just eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers, and if that wasn't bad enough news- multiple defensemen from the organization are now requesting substantial pay days.
Amongst those few names are former Chicago Blackhawk Nikita Zadorov and Filip Hronek.
Rick Dhaliwal, a reporter that covers the Vancouver Canucks noted info on Zadorov which may force him to test the free agent market:
"I believe Zadorov may have priced himself out of Vancouver," Dhaliwal reported. "The city, the fans are loving him, but he's looking for term, some say over $5 million, some say over $6 million."
For the Canucks, it doesn't get easier after Zadorov, as Filip Hronek is reportedly seeking a serious payday himself:
"Filip Hronek... this guy's asking for $8 million. If that $8 million ask continues, the Canucks need to move on," Dhaliwal explained.
The Canucks are also left with free agents Dakota Joshua and Elias Lindholm, who also need a large pay raise:
"Joshua led the NHL with hits in the playoffs... his stock did not go down. It's gonna cost over $3 million but if they get closer to July 1st, is it going to get to $4 million?" Dhaliwal added.
As the July 1st free agency frenzy is quickly approaching, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled on what could be a completely new plan moving forward in Vancouver.
