Nikita Zadorov's agent Dan Milstein opened up on the Vancouver Canucks' efforts to potentially trade back for him.
In his short stint in Vancouver, he rapidly became a fan favorite because of his physical style and personality.
During the summer, Zadorov signed a six-year, $5 million AAV contract with the Boston Bruins on free agency, marking the end of his time with the Canucks.
Here's what he said:
"Weird idea that may only make sense to me: Nikita Zadorov back to Vancouver. No idea if even possible, or if anyone would want it, but he was a good fit and the Canucks miss him."
This prompted the reporter Rick Dhaliwal to contact Zadorov's agent Dan Milstein for insights on Zadorov's potential future with the Vancouver Canucks.
Milstein was quick to defuse those rumors, confirming that he hasn't heard anything about the Canucks going after his client:
Following the Boston Bruins' tough start to the season, there have been many trade rumors.
The organization fired Jim Montgomery as head coach a few days ago, and General Manager Don Sweeney was clear when he said that if players can't turn things around, more changes could come.
This season, Zadorov, 29, scored five points, all assists, in 21 games. With 60 hits, he's currently 18th in the NHL, showing that he brings a lot of physicality to his team.
While the Canucks' defenseman Kiefer Sherwood leads the League in that category, with 115, Vancouver management could be interested in getting Zadorov back.
However, the price to pay won't be cheap. With the Bruins rumored to be looking for a top-six forward, the Canucks would need to part ways with an important player to get the defenseman back in their lineup.
