Calgary Flames Star defenseman not interested in getting traded to this Canadian City
On Friday night, the Calgary Flames lost a heartbreaking shootout to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and were then hit by the bombshell that Nikita Zadorov has officially asked for a trade.
Nikita Zadorov asks out of Calgary as a pending UFA
While the Flames were already likely to trade the 28-year old defenseman, this has now made it a public issue, and with the team playing in Toronto, the link to the blue line-needy Maple Leafs is clear.
With Nikita Zadorov looking to be traded out of Calgary, word is the pending UFA defenceman would welcome a move to Toronto.
However, since the news broke, both the New Jersey Devils and Vancouver Canucks have emerged as genuine candidates, meaning we may have a bidding war on our hands with the trade deadline still months away.
Zadorov wouldn't be interested in a move to Winnipeg
One thing we now do know for sure is that the veteran defenseman isn't interested in a trade to the Winnipeg Jets, as it appears he's looking for a big market that will give him a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
Word out of Calgary is that Nikita Zadorov does not have much interest in Winnipeg.

has learned Toronto would be the Canadian city of choice.
The 28-year-old is in the final season of his two-year contract, carrying a $3.75 million cap hit.
"He likes the beach."

Ultimately, the former first-round pick doesn't come with a NMC, so he can't exactly dictate where he will go, and the Flames will likely be looking for the best possible return, but we can at least seemingly rule out one team following last nights news.
