Rumors surrounding the Flames' defenseman Nikita Zadorov have been everywhere since the player asked to be traded out of Calgary a few weeks ago.
Craig Conroy, the Flames' GM, spoke out about a possible deal involving Zadorov.
Flames' GM Speaks Out on Zadorov's Trade Request Out of Calgary
Conroy talked about the situation with Zadorov in a recent interview.
Craig Conroy's first comments on Nikita Zadorov's trade request:
"We've had conversations. We have a good relationship, we really do. We get along well. I'm going to keep that between him and me, but we talk. He's been a pro about everything and he's played well."
Is there any rush to trade him?
"It's just like any other person, we're just going to do what's best for the Calgary Flames, and on our timeline."

Flames are in No Rush to Depart From Top Defenseman
Zadorov asked to be traded. But it's not because a player wants to be traded that it'll get done.
Conroy's comments highlight the mutual respect between the GM and the player, suggesting that Zadorov will get what he wants.
He'll likely wait until later in the season, when it's confirmed that the Flames are out of the playoffs.
Right now, they still have a chance to turn things around. If they want to do so, they have better chances with Zadorov in the lineup.
