Flames Rumors: 2 Potential Landing Spots for Nikita Zadorov

The Calgary Flames had optimism heading into this season, but things have been anything but good for them thus far. They are among the worst teams in the NHL right now and have a real chance of being sellers. Due to this, Nikita Zadorov is a player to watch in trade talk, and here are two teams who could target the shutdown defenseman.

Florida Panthers: The Florida Panthers were heavily interested in Zadorov during the offseason but did not pull the trigger on a deal. It is not a secret that the Cats could use some help on their defensive group, especially with Brandon Montour and Aaron Ekblad sidelined. Perhaps Florida could send Calgary an offer they can't refuse early because of this.

Toronto Maple Leafs: The Maple Leafs have made it one of their goals to add more toughness to their group. Thus, Zadorov could be a player that grabs their attention. GM Brad Treliving knows Zadorov well from his days in Calgary, and the latter would help improve their blueline in the process.
