Analysis:

Colorado gave up a valuable piece in O'Reilly, but it also brought in a massive haul. Though Zadorov struggled in his first full season in Buffalo, he brings a ton of potential to the table. There have been concerns about about Zadorov's immaturity off the ice, but he plays well at both ends of the rink and immediately becomes one of Colorado's better young players. While Zadorov probably won't have much fantasy value next season, he's definitely a player to keep an eye on for the future. He's still just 20 years old.
