Speculation: Trade Speculation Part VII

[AfroThunder396]

I'd prefer to keep Zids, but with our situation, if we can snag a 1st I would bite the bullet and do it.

 

[JimEIV]

A "Selling" team has absolutely No need for a UFA Zidlicky

...If the Devils are trading Zidlicky, they are the Sellers.

 

[njdevil26]

Not necessarily. The Devils could trade a 1st and Zids to Buffalo. Zids off the books at the end of the money. Pominville contract goes through next season.

Panthers won't trade Brian Campbell today. #transactions2013

Not with that contract.

 

[Kensu]

so Greene and who else would be on the PP? Peter Harrold?

that's if Zidlicky was to get traded.

 

[Bleedred]

Watch them say Zids is resting!

Buffalo wouldnt want a UFA defenseman when they are out of the playoff race.

[Richer's Ghost]

We'd need to add more. Buffalo doesn't need Zidlicky, if they want a UFA roster player coming back there are much better options.

ugh not a big fan of Stafford.

 

[Scott04]

Possible, but they normally release a player has an injury no matter what. They just dont say how long the player will be out

Yes, but a lot of the time, unless its something that clearly happens in game (where the player doesn't return after a certain point), do we ever hear about the injury until DeBoer talks after practice? I guess in some cases maybe PR knows, but a lot of times Pete is the source. He hasn't talked yet, so that could be why we haven't heard yet (if it is an injury). And especially since Lou is probably too busy to comment about any of the stuff as Gulitti implied in a tweet from a few minutes ago. I just don't know if the lack of an injury announcement (to this point) is necessarily indicative yet. I hope this is because we did trade him, but I don't want to get my hopes up and assume that's happened.


Random Devils related thought though: Do we normally ever hear about Devils trades before the trade call? I know things don't leak, but does the news usually get out because they suddenly hear about the trade call happening/about to happen? If so, that could be our hold up here if it is a trade. Call not done/about to be done, but a deal is almost there, which is why he's already being held out.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Money at this stage of the game is almost meaningless, meaningless in real dollars and in cap space.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

Gonna put cash on personal emergency. Will play tomorrow

 

[NjDevsRR]

Oh God. DO NOT WANT

Hes better than Dags...Clarkson....Bernier...Gionta...Carter...Ponikarovsky...I could go on.

 

[day1devilsfan]

Zids & a 1st for Vanek?

 

[Devils Trap]

Buffalo need to take some of his cap then. Dont want the 4 mil

If Jokinen plays 25 per cent of PIT 2013 playoff games AND PIT goes to Cup final, CAR gets 7th round pick from PIT. #tradecentre

A 7th really ?

We picked the wrong Sabre.

If we give up a 1st for Stafford I'm legit going to puke.

 

[Tretyak 20]

I really don't think Lou would put Prospal in the same locker room with Patty.

I'd be all for that.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Ill ask this again. Why would a Buffalo team out of the playoffs want a 36yo UFA defenseman where they are trading their best player?
