What his game like again?

 

[Esq]

Just get him out of the Central. Kills the Hawks.

What his game like again?

Fast and annoying.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Pens should/need to be on this

 

[OVO16]

Fast and annoying.

So got some grit to his game?

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Habs offer Lehkonen + Pezzetta for Zucker

 

[Bazeek]

Shocked.

Prospect and a pick seems about right. A RW seems like it'd be preferable.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

i hope the pens are calling the wild about him.

 

[Bazeek]

So got some grit to his game?

Sort of. He's not shy about contact or anything but he's not a big hitter.

He also tends to need a playmaker to set things up for him, like Granlund when he's on his game. But if you've already got that guy and need someone to bury the chances reliably Zucker's good at that.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Seems like a player who can still turn it around.

Almost worth getting him just for his wife. Her cupboard is stacked.

 

[BlueDream]

He seems like a guy that can thrive with a change of scenery. He SHOULD be a good playoff player. I know he hasn't been but his style suits it and his team as a whole has sucked in the playoffs.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm willing to offer a player, a prospect and a 1st for Zucker, so I don't know how Russo thinks he'd go for so cheap in a trade

 

[ChaoticOrange]

If we could figure out the salary Edmonton should be all over this. Edmonton’s definitely shopping with an eye to next year.

Russell+2nd+Yamamoto?

Russell+2nd+Yamamoto?

Russell at $4m for 2 more years probably kills any interest. It kills mine, anyway.

 

[Avs44]

Sadly I don't think Minny would ever trade with the Avs -- especially given the standings right now -- but I'd love the guy.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Doesn’t necessarily have to be Russell but salary needs to go back.

 

[Bazeek]

Doesn’t necessarily have to be Russell but salary needs to go back.

In a deal with the Oilers, yeah.

Edit: I should clarify that salary probably comes back in any deal for Zucker. I just can't think of any contracts from Edmonton that I'd be comfortable taking back.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Send him to STL!

 

[ChaoticOrange]

In a deal with the Oilers, yeah.

True, but I’d have to think we’d be willing to give up more than most. Bad season or not we need to add top six wingers.

Yes, I’m still salty we weren’t in on Coyle. Especially at that price.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

I feel like this has NJ written on it for some reason

You might be right and for all I know Yamamoto + 2nd is a tier above what's actually out there for offers. I have no clue what to expect for these guys anymore.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Would be a hell of a purge of the 2010s.

 

[Foppberg]

Sadly I don't think Minny would ever trade with the Avs -- especially given the standings right now -- but I'd love the guy.

I was thinking that too until I looked at his contract, yikes.
