Calgary Flames Defensemen Will Refuse a Trade to this one specific Canadian City
Calgary Flames face more challenges as defenseman Nikita Zadorov officially requested a trade. While potential suitors, including the New Jersey Devils and Vancouver Canucks, emerged, one Canadian city found itself firmly excluded from Zadorov's list..
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.
As the Flames navigate the trade negotiations, Zadorov's refusal to consider Winnipeg introduces an interesting dynamic to the situation.
