Vancouver Canucks 2024 Free Agents: Nikita Zadorov
May 27, 2024 by Matthew Zator
We will start with the big man, the one they call “Big Z”, Nikita Zadorov. Allvin acquired him from the Calgary Flames for a couple of draft picks in November and he ended the season with five goals and 14 points in 54 games, along with 102 penalty minutes and 124 hits. He was a massive presence on the blue line and eventually became a fan favourite with his personality on and off the ice. He will become a free agent on July 1, and might require a lot of money to re-sign.
