MAJOR: Flames Defenseman Officially Demands Trade
Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the Calgary Flames, the team falls even deeper into chaos.
Flames Blueliner Officially Requests a Trade
During the Flames 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, defenceman Nikita Zadorov scored a goal. His agent posted video of it on social media with a surprising statement.
"Here comes Zadorov train get your #LeafsForever tickets today #WeAreGoldStar!"
Someone responded to Milstein's post asking if the Flames could keep Zadorov. Milstein was blunt.
"I don't think so. Not when the best D barely gets the ice time"
Zadorov Tells Calgary Flames he Wants to be Traded
Once the game had ended, Zadorov's official trade request was made public.
"Fresh off a goal and big hit tonight against the @MapleLeafs, I'm told that D Zadorov through his agent @GoldStarHockey Dan Milstein has requested a trade from the @NHLFlames. #HockeyTwitter"
According to Sportsnet, both the Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks are interested in getting Zadorov, although I suspect there will be many other teams in the mix as well. The blueliner is currently maing $3.75 million and becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
