Confirmed with Link: [DAL/NYR] Mats Zuccarello (30% Retained) for 2 Conditional Picks

[BigG44]

Guys ... the conditional 3rd goes off the books on July 1st. It's not a big deal. They weren't going to trade that 2020 pick anyway probably before then. Sucks this year's 1st is tied up though, but I get it.

 

[Morry83]

I don’t see why we wouldn’t re-sign just cause the pick turns into a 1st. If you re-sign him it’s worth it.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

It’s probably L’Esperence back to the AHL.

This isn’t a real person and you made that name up, right?

He did, it's actually L'Esperance.

 

[NFKappaB]

This is a bad hockey trade,

Best case scenario, we win the cup with Zuc and give up a 1st round pick in 2020 and a 3rd round when he doesnt resign

Semi-realistic scenario, we advance to conference finals and give up a 1st round pick in 2020, lose and Zuc doesnt re sign. Giving up 1st and 3rd round picks

Most realistic scenario, we don't make the playoffs or we make the playoffs but dont win two rounds. We give up 2nd and 3rd round picks when Zuc doesnt re sign.....for playing 20 odd games for us

What am I missing here? How is this a good trade?

 

[Henderson33]

Does the retaining part indicate Nill wants to make another move this deadline?

No it’s not.

 

[Smelling Salt]

I would assume that will be his last move since the 1sts are gone. Only way to get anyone else would be giving up a roster player (Hintz, Janmark) and a solid prospect. There would have to be term on the player coming back I hope.

 

[haohmaru]

Ok nvm deal good again. Lmfaoooo

Poor Rags

Salary retention doesn't mean shit to the Rangers. They're out of it. They don't care.

Coming in peace - you all are going to love Zooks. He can do it all - PP, PK, two way forward that's played with non elite (until Zibanejad took a step forward this year) centers his entire career. Great teammate, brings it every game, and is feisty as hell even though he's 5' 7"

Enjoy it. I know you will. Good luck. Make the WCF's.

 

[Troy McClure]

I’ve said before I’m not learning how to spell his name until he scores a goal.

It's a risk yes because it's very possible the Stars don't even make the playoffs. But Jim in trying to at least get in and AND save his job at the same time.

They just got a good playmaker in Zucc. Do they go out and bring Carter in now?

Making the conference finals is worth the cost considering the post season history around here.

Honestly doubt Carter with his age and contract would cost much. I’d take him.

 

[SourTemplePilot]

May have to settle for Carter for that second piece now

 

[BigG44]

Does the retaining part indicate Nill wants to make another move this deadline?

Possibly. Probably? They could have created $10 million in space with LTIR.

Ugh Carter sucks. Maybe if he only had one more year on his deal but that cap hit sucks. The actual money is low though which may be attractive to TG.

Yes, it's a save Nill's job trade for sure.

Anyways, honestly hope he fits with the team and we can make a run. Will be fun to watch!

 

[Kcb12345]

Nill's interview on this trade will be very interesting...will he say he's happy with where we are at or is he not done yet?

 

[Arkham32]

With the salary retention on zuccarello I wonder if stars could take all of carters contract or a majority of it and lower the asking price for Carter

 

[BigG44]

Nill's interview on this trade will be very interesting...will he say he's happy with where we are at or is he not done yet?

I'll take option 3 .... we're always listening.

We don't need to see him until after the deadline. Keep working the phones and let us know when you get that second piece.

 

[MBTendy]

I thought i may have read somewhere that if we sign Zuc after July 1st, it stays a 3rd.

Am i wrong?
