Rumor: Jason Zucker being “shopped heavily”

[Bazeek]

I would assume that would do it

Yeah I'm far from a Nylander fan but that's probably worth a shot.

 

[Bazeek]

To MIN
Christian Fischer
AZ ‘19 2nd (currently 40th)
Kevin Connauton (dump, 1yr, 1.25m)

To ARI
Jason Zucker

I liked the Fischer + 2nd offer, but throwing in a bottom pairing LD? You clearly know how Fenton operates.

Alex Nylander and San Jose 1st?

I’d do this.

 

[Snippit]

Hasn't Zucker been bad this year?

No to Nylander + SJ 1st. I'd do just one of those pieces.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I mean the cbj should just go for it with wennberg+

We don't want Wennberg. But then again, we didn't want Rask. This is confusing.

He's been frustrating but not that different than previous years. A lot depends on how much you think his drop in shooting percentage has to do with Granlund being (relatively) crap since December. If the plan is to put him on the 3rd line and hope he puts up 20-25 goals with grinders it's probably a bad investment. If the idea is to put him with a playmaker that can set him up he can score a whole lot. He's never really generated offense on his own, though.

WTH? Have you seen his contract?
I was thinking more along the lines of Scandella+.

The hell are we going to do with Scandella?

I too was thinking of ignoring the other teams needs and value when making a proposal.

 

[ScottyK]

This smells like a Shero redemption project.

So you need forwards back? Why are you selling them, then. Especially when you're in a wild card spot? It's confusing.

Welcome to our world.

Fenton seems to be cleaning house on the 2010 guys.

I understand how that's annoying. I was thinking cap relief was the goal here and I thought I remembered a Wild fan posting they'd take Scandy back . You live, you learn.

Ok, that seems, well, an interesting strategy.

Watch Zucker more. He’s snake bit. 50+ pts next season. Book it.

If they move Zucker....

What the hell is Minny doing!?

Re-tooling

Re-orienting around the younger guys and maybe going after something big in free agency. This isn't a team that points toward any obvious answers and that plan seems about as good as any.

I'd even put money on him going after Stone or Duchene in free agency this summer.

Re-tooling

Apparently!

I didn't see a lot wrong with the team, but to move Coyle, Zucker, Niederreiter in one season... Hot damn. Boudreau better get this team in the postseason, his leash is gonna be SO short.

Been together for like 5-6 years and have done nothing. Wheels came off completely this season. It's time to change the formula. Boudreau's future is not affected by this, though I think Fenton plans on promoting Evason to head coach when Boudreau's contract runs out (regardless of what happens between now and then).

There never seems to be a lot wrong with them until you watch the same ending like 6 years in a row.

You can bury 900k of his 1.25m hit next season if you don’t like his play. It’s possible he rebounds and has another good season. Had 10g last year.

We're swimming in depth LD to the extent that Brad Hunt was on the 4th line as a LW for a few games. Even if he's a serviceable defenseman he probably ends up buried or bought out.

Zucker for Butcher+?

I dont see NJ moving Butcher cause our D-core is already weak, but is the value there?
