Now this is someone I can get on board with. Great player, plays balls out every shift, scores goals, great guy in the community. As long as it doesn't cost Alexeyev or Fehrevery I'm down.
Minnesota almost traded Zucker twice — once to Calgary during the season and once in May for Kessel, who nixed the deal — and it’s safe to say the writing is most certainly on the wall. The Wild plan on moving him as they continue to makeover their roster.
Alright, pipe dream team I hashed out on Cap Friendly.
Trade (this is what I cooked up to get Zucker and some retained, no clue as to if Minn would bite, I would sweeten the pot with more picks if needed):
Burakovsky (rights)
Johansen
2019 2nd
2020 1st
Recieve:
Jason Zucker (Minn retains 1.1 million)
Trade:
Copley
Receive:
SJS 2019 5th round pick
Sign:
Vrana $3.5 over 3 years
Djoos $1 million over 2 years
Connolly $2 million over 2 year
Roster:
OV- Kuzy-Wilson
Zucker-Backstrom-Vrana
Hagelin-Eller-Oshie
Boyd-Dowd-Connolly
Orlov-Carlson
Kempny-Gudas
Dojos-Jensen
Siegenthaler
Holtby
Samsonov
Connolly $2 million over 2 year
Let me rephrase.lmao what? That's less the half of the AAV and half the term (or less) than Connolly is going to command
He will not get over $3.5This is probably $16-21mm less than Connolly will command on the open market... zero chance that would happen.
He will not get over $3.5
That would be the most they’ve traded for a player since Oates beating out EratAlright, pipe dream team I hashed out on Cap Friendly.

He would already be signed if that's the case.He will not get over $3.5
I’d take Oshie but they brought him to be top 6, here you trade a package that brings in anyone available at the deadline for a guy you bring in to be a 3rd liner.Zucker would be the best player we've acquired via trade since Oates, so that fits...
Bura is just rights so I don't think that alone gets you much, LuJo is a valued prospect in a crowded depth chart, I still think Zucker commands more though if we ask for retention so I dropped in a few picks.
I think Zucker is the most criminally underrated player in the NHL.

He will not get over $3.5
He's a guy who is 27 and he nearly doubled his career high points this season, it's unfeasible to expect that to be the new norm. He's realistically a 25 point guy, his entire career points to that being who he is and I don't think you'll find many teams willing to dish out significant dollars for that.
