I don't see any similarities. McLeod was an aging slow guy who, like many of the players Bednar inherited, didn't fit into their plans to retool into a young and fast team. I'm glad he got a chance in Nashville but the writing was on the wall with the Avs. With Zadorov I think he was just being sent a message for showing up to camp not in the shape they wanted to see. Unlike Mcleod, I think Z is a big part of their future and they're just trying to make sure he and everybody knows what's expected of them.
