Confirmed Trade: [DAL/NYR] Zuccarello (30% retained) for 2nd (Cond 1st if DAL makes WCF), 3rd (Cond 1st if re-signs)

[Kocur Dill]

We are not getting any firsts out of this deal. Everyone who is saying its a good deal is wrong. Zucc has been a consistent player throughout his career,. Ryan Dzingle has one good season and nets 2 2nds plus Anthony Duclair. Yea Duclair isn't a top line player but the 2 2nds are better then a 2nd and 3rd. Plus we only got that 3rd because of Rangers paying 30%.

I'm pretty sure Duclair was a net negative and the extra 2nd rd pick vs a lower tier asset was compensation.

So then you are saying your team wasted a 2 and 3rd round pick lol.

The team is going to waste them anyway. Have you seen our drafting record? This shouldn't be new news.

 

[Daniel Phillips]

Zucc was flat out bad for a LOT of the last two seasons. The nyr got exactly what they should've. A little more with the conditions tbh

What New York Ranger games were you watching?

Just picked up his first point as a Star with an assist on Faksa's goal.

Yeah it was nice. Breakaway pass. He’s having a really good period.

Jeff Gorton should be arrested. This makes me physically ill.

Flames fan here. I'm okay with this. This is basically a trade to help Dallas make it into the playoffs.
I'd be more concerned if he went to any of the western teams of Nashville, Winnipeg, Vegas, or San Jose.

How is Vegas doing?

How is Vegas doing?

Not sure... haven't checked out the Pacific standings lately. Last time I looked they were in 3rd place.
I do know that Zuc would help their roster and make them that much more competitive.

 

[tony d]

Nice pickup for Dallas. I was hoping San Jose would have got Zucc.

 

[catters078]

The way Faksa has stepped up lately dallas now has two top lines which is an envouraging sign for what they need to compliment their great goal tending and good defense.

 

[MMC]

And he scores!

 

[TrillMike]

Nice start so far.

 

[JianYang]

Deadline day is going to be so boring again

I think we've seen this movie enough now to call it deadline week. Teams don't wait till the last day anymore.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

1+1 already

 

[Dr Pepper]

Off to a good start.

Yep mcilrath that's the grand daddy bust of them all.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Aaand he's gone

Yep mcilrath that's the grand daddy bust of them all.

What about Zach Hamill?

 

[Calad]

Potentially broke his hand blocking a shot

 

[FissionFire]

Potentially broke his hand blocking a shot

And just like that Dallas is back in the market looking to add a winger.

Gorton’s a good GM and this trade was a great gamble

 

[dechire]

Out for at least 4 weeks. This is the most Stars shit ever.

 

[MMC]

 

[Deficient Mode]

Played one game for them and got injured for most of the rest of the regular season. Ouch.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

goal, assist on the ice for first 3 goals....then this
