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

[Zapp]

This is terrible news. Absolutely terrible. Shouldn't have even bothered with this trade then

f*** Jim Nill.

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Not enough, Jim. Get back on the phones NOW

 

[Henderson33]

Nill better be lying.

Hopefully like when he acquired Seguin and said he liked the center depth and then a few hours later acquired Horcoff because he didn't like the center depth.

You guys need to take good care of our sweet hobbit prince. He's a great guy and there are a lot of people with tears in their eyes today, even though everyone is reconciled with it happening. Hope you'll learn to love him as much as we do - and that he'll help you win the Stanley Cup (I know, I know - can still hope right?)

 

[jballa95]

The trade for a rental Zucc isn't bad, but ... the Stars still don't have a second line center.

 

[Morry83]

f*** Nill

 

[Kcb12345]

That's honestly ridiculous. Why would he even come out and say that? A day and a half until the deadline and you are done already despite not even adding a legitimate goal scorer yet?

I mean he goes from saying he's open to anything and looking to add to our forward group to acquiring 1 guy and thinking that has fixed everything

When they say they're done at the deadline, they're done.

 

[LT]

I guess it's better than not adding anything. We'll have to see just how much of an impact Zuccarello has.

I think the cap is becoming prohibitive now as well.

 

[Kcb12345]

So what Honka is gonna stick around as well? Really hope he changes his mind on this...maybe a loss tomorrow will do the trick?

 

[Magic Mittens]

Talon - "Hey lets call Nill and get Nuchiskin and Honka for Brassard, oh wait forgot he said hes done with trades"

 

[LT]

Also, we only have four picks in each of the next two drafts. Yikes.

You forget, this is the guy who said he likes where we were at last years deadline.

Yeah that part sucks, hopefully Zucc fits in with this team

 

[Idlerlee]

Who would Zucc play with v Chicago tomorrow, out of curiosity?

We'll probably have to wait to see the line rushes in warm-ups (I don't think there will be a morning skate for a 3PM game).

Between this deadline and what happened with the Karlsson trade, I'm ready to say the league sees no value in these guys.

 

[BeaverSports]

To not try to at least listen the last two days is foolish. There are still upgrades there and I could see a few change of scenery ideas, like Honka. Hoping that was a misquote and he meant “happy for now” or “nothing imminent.”

Zuccarello wasn’t my first choice, but he plays with heart and puts up a lot of points. If he can get the Stars even one goal more a game on average, they’ll be tougher.

I’m not sure what to make of the return. It’s probably a reasonable price, but Nill has put a lot of picks out there for a shot this year.

 

[Kcb12345]

 

[LT]

that didn't take long

I'm also ashamed to admit that I own that comforter (I don't use it, it's horribly uncomfortable)

 

[bl02]

You guys got a tremendous player. Rooting for you guys to do serious damage. Just wait until the playoffs you will love him

If we make it :/ Nill is done now and idk if this team is good enough to get in

who do you think he will play with?

 

[Kcb12345]

who do you think he will play with?

Not entirely sure really to be honest.

Either:
Hintz-Seguin-Zuccarello
Benn-Spezza/Faksa-Radulov

Or

Hintz-Seguin-Radulov
Benn-Faksa/Spezza-Zuccarello

We badly need a 2C. Wish we could get Brassard and play Zucc with him but Nill is apparently done so I guess that's not happening at all

 

[Ragernschnapple]

I LOVE this trade by Nill! I always wanted Zuccarello on Dallas. I don’t mind the cost. Hopefully Nill’s not done. I know what he said, but Honka has no spot. He has to be traded. I’d like to get Jeff Carter also. We’ll see.
