Nikita Zadorov perfectly fits the bill for the Leafs' current defensive requirements. What's even more appealing is that Brad Treliving was the GM who inked Zadorov to his 2-year deal in Calgary. The foundation is in place; Treliving only has to close it.
Leafs' Defensive Injuries Highlight the Fragility of Their Blue Line
Indeed, the Leafs currently find themselves in an unusual injury situation, highlighting John Klingberg's struggles. Nonetheless, this is a situation they must be prepared for as the season goes on.
Zadorov, a physically imposing defenseman capable of playing significant minutes, is reminiscent of Luke Schenn, whom the Leafs lost to free agency this past summer.
Tonight, the Leafs will have a chance to witness Zadorov's abilities firsthand as they face off against the Flames in what feels like a must-win game for the club.
