Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford revealed some interesting pieces of information about the team's negotiations with Zadorov.

Here is how former Vancouver Canucks blueliner Nikita Zadorov is doing with the Boston Bruins so far this year.

Vancouver Canucks fans were left disappointed last summer when defenceman and fan favourite Nikita Zadorov signed with the rival Boston Bruins in free agency.

Vancouver Canucks president Jim Rutherford shared details about their failed contract talks with Nikita Zadorov.

On offense, Elias Lindholm was moved back up to the second-line center spot, with Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle as his wingers.

Just trying to make those decisions a little tougher.”
