Sooo Zucker has 1 good season, yes 1.. where he scores 33 goals on a near 15% shooting and now he holds similar value to Stone? The guy that's been a 2 way force for about 3 years now and would be considered for Team Canada. LOLLLL to the OP trying to argue they are "similar or marginal".. not even close. He's Ottawa's BEST FORWARD.
Contracts aside, Zucker doesn't hold Stones jockstrap... close this crap thread.
Absolutely delusional.Put it this way, Zucker can't be the centrepiece in a trade for Stone. The + in your proposal would need to be more valuable than Zucker
So I can't go to page 3 and call out some delusional Wild fan.. gotcha bud, didn't know the rules...It would have been closed if you didn't revive it. what did you dig to page 5?
Ahh yes, asking the difference is between two players is delusional. Never change HF, never change. Why even have a discussion board? Whole site is pointless using your logic.So I can't go to page 3 and call out some delusional Wild fan.. gotcha bud, didn't know the rules...

I’d love for you to point out where in the OP it says that.No, the delusion is thinking the difference between a player of Zucker's caliber vs Stone is a "small add or marginal difference".
Player discussion is fine but if the value or logic of the proposal is nonsense, then I just call it like I see it.
Or maybe as a Sens fan I'm SICK AND TIRED of coming to the trade boards and seeing other fans trying to poach Karlsson, Duchene and Stone for pennies on the dollar by saying "budget, Eugene is cheap, you can't afford them etc."
Granlund is a much better comparable if we're talking skill/impact wise but of course, offer us crap instead.......
I’d say + your 1st, but you already traded that awayDzingel + for Zucker, does that work for Wild fans?
I’d love for you to point out where in the OP it says that.
Zucker isn’t exactly far from Granlund in value. Which leads me to believe you have no idea what Zucker’s value is.

Dzingel isn’t the equivalent to Zucker in your scenario though. It’s funny though cause they receive about the same ice time. Then there is Stone who’s playing 4 more minutes per game than both of them, 2 more minutes per game even strength, 1 more minute per game of power play time. Stone averages more pp toi than Suter, Minnesota’s top power play toi/game guy.So in other words you'd want the + to be a more valuable piece than the centrepiece in the proposed trade.
That's exactly how we feel in this thread.

Implying that a piece bigger than Zucker would needed to be added to Minnesota from a pure value standpoint is mind-blowing. Zucker+Granlund? You’re crazy. Zucker+Dumba? I’d love whatever you’re smoking. Zucker+Spurgeon? You’re out to lunch. Those are the three tradeable players that Zucker has less value than.
I bet you would “consider them.” Those other three players are just as valuable as Stone and then there’s a 60pt forward in addition. Saying you’re not sure you would take any of those just shows your blatant homerism.Those are all offers I would consider for Stone. Still not entirely sure I would take any of them.
Zucker has had ONE good season man. ONE. All his other seasons are pretty much Dzingel level.

You keep saying that. Yet his 5v5 numbers didn’t change much the last two years. Difference is he finally got PP time. So no, it wasn’t “one good season.” You just don’t know anything about Zucker. You can admit it or not, but your words show it.

The homerism isn’t Granlund vs Stone bud, it’s Granlund+Zucker vs Stone. Reading comprehension is key.I created a poll to ask unbiased folks who has more value Stone or Granlund. Should be a very lopsided result and I'll make sure to come back to let you know.
The irony of you calling me a homer is simply hilarious here.

I’m not back pedaling. Granlund’s career high is better than Stone’s (pace means nothing). Granlund has two more years at under $6m and there’s no indication he won’t sign long term. What’s Stone looking at? Arbitration and then walking in a year?"Those other three players are just as valuable as Stone" - you
Keep back pedalling though by all means.
You’re right, calling you a homer doesn’t do it justice.
Zucker+Granlund
Zucker+Dumba
Zucker+Spurgeon
And you’re not sure you’d accept any of those for Stone? That’s well beyond homer level.
Yikes. Maybe I should create a poll.Granlund + Spurgeon yes... Zucker does not need to be included at all, he wouldn't be as valuable to Ottawa with Boucher than he would to Minny with Boudreau.
So yes, an over-payment is necessary to get our best forward, WOW WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT. Why would we want to give up one of the better 2 way wingers in the game?
