Despite being in the final season of his two-year contract, with a $3.75 million cap hit, Zadorov has made it clear that he is not interested in a move to the Winnipeg Jets. The 28-year-old defenseman, a pending unrestricted free agent, is on the lookout for a big-market team that provides a genuine chance to compete for the Stanley Cup.
Calgary sources have revealed that Zadorov, lacking a no-movement clause, cannot dictate his destination. However, the fact that he has expressed disinterest in joining the Jets narrows down the potential trade landscape. Reports suggest that Zadorov has a particular preference for Toronto, considering it his Canadian city of choice.
