The Vancouver Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov took a big shot at his former team, the Calgary Flames, in his end-of-season media availability.

The Canucks were eliminated a few days ago by the Edmonton Oilers and players held their traditional post-season interviews yesterday. Among them, Nikita Zadorov made some interesting comments regarding his former team, the Calgary Flames.

After he requested a trade last summer, Zadorov finally switched teams early in the season, and ended up in Vancouver, with the Canucks.

He talked took a big shot at the Flames, saying the Canucks have a bigger fanbase and the Flames aren't even the more popular team in Alberta.

Here's what he said:

"Hockey in Canada is different. I can compare it to Calgary, but I feel like Vancouver fanbase is way bigger. Calgary's not even the #1 team in Alberta... it's obvious. There's more Edmonton fans because they've had a better history throughout the years."

In the same interview, a reporter asked him to talk about his next contract and how he made a case to get a big raise this summer. He answered in the best possible way, this time, blasting Edmonton:

"How much do you think I should make? I don't know where you get those numbers from, the trees? You've gotta stop listening to Edmonton reporters."

Do you think Nikita Zadorov will sign a contract with the Edmonton Oilers this summer?
