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

[Kairi Zaide]

I think theres a 50+% games played clause.

Oh, good to know.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Wow... that sucks... poor guy... poor stars

can't catch a break

 

[and 99 others]

Per Capfriendly the condition is 50% of playoff games.

*Conditions: Becomes a 2019 1st round pick if the Dallas Stars advance to the third round of the 2019 NHL playoffs and Mats Zuccarello plays in 50% of the games in the first two rounds

 

[Duffalufagus]

Lol at 4 weeks if he has a broken arm. If he needs surgery to fix it? Done.

 

[Calad]

Now imagine if Zuccarello actually has to miss the reminder of the season + playoffs, and somehow, the Stars make it to the WCF.

Zucc has to play 50% of the games

edit - seems 10 other people rushed to inform you in the minute between loading this page and replying to you

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

What New York Ranger games were you watching?

All of them apparently instead of just the ones that fit my narrative. I must've imagined almost all of HF NYR saying "zucc needs to go, hes clearly done." Over and over. Which was overblown but it demonstrates how this was widely seen by many people who watch him regularly.

If you've actually watched him the last two years you'd easily recognize that he was playing poorly in a lot of games. Again over the past two seasons

Johansson for a 1st

The Stars’ 1sts for this year and next are tied up in conditions for the Zuccarello trade.

Four weeks from now is March 24. There will be seven regular season games left in the Stars season should Mats Zuccarello return then.

Plus, lets chill on the timeline once a doctor looks at him and he gets an X-Ray, its all pointless speculation at this point.

I think he has had bones broken before.

He knows.

At least the Dallas - fans got to see why the trade was made.

 

[Panthaz89]

I don't get the big deal for those that hate the value...if he gets resigned its a 1st and a 2nd if he doesn't he probably will resign back with NYR along with them keeping the 2nd and 3rd. Its pretty safe to assume the 2nd not changing to a 1st with those conditions.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Lol

The ol' Texas switch

Have you ever seen a trade turn sour in less than 24 hours?

Dont know 24 hours i remember gilmour came back to leafs from habs weird injury first shift i dont think he played another game and retired after season ( i may be misrembering that part)

What kick to the gut for the Stars. A broken arm sounds way longer than just 1 month to heal. I honestly hate shot blocking, especially for the top 6 forwards. To lose a top point producer just to block a shot that may have gone wide anyway or would’ve been stopped by the goaltender isn’t worth months of rehab. He’s a UFA too so who knows how many millions this could cost him. What a shame.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

If it's broken he's done for the season. Put a fork in it.

I can't decide if this is medical advice or a dining suggestion.

I remember Brent Sopel, but what I meant was semi major trade.

 

[PromNite]

So pissed to lose Zucc, man. He took my favorite modern player crown from Gaborik.

Hope he gets to lift a cup, even if it’s with the Stars. I’ll forever root for Mats.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

This trade made Lundqvist cry. Do any of us really win when Ludqvist cries?

 

[FMichael]

Hey Dallas...Hey Mr. Nill...We have this lil'guy named Gus...What ya think

On a more serious note - gotta feel for Zucc, and the Stars...That really sucks.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Jerry Seinfeld: That's a shame.

 

[Master Scheif]

If he can't make it back for playoffs I hope he signs with Dallas!

 

[WilsonNY14]

Yeah, a fractured skull to be exact, thanks to a Mcdonaugh slapshot in the playoffs one year.

 

[Ciao]

If they didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all.

 

[57special]

On pace for 82 g, 82 a.

 

[FrailSwan]

I went from being not numb for the first time in months with this team to sports depressed, all within a couple hours.

 

[belair]

As a UFA, he's in no rush to return, I'd imagine. That sucks for the Stars.
