Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency X

[gphr513]

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily saying here. Just feel like he's a guy who could put up numbers somewhere else. He seems to have a weird relationship with Winnipeg.

 

[57special]

Again, Kane at 6M is not what we need now.

 

[Swervin81]

Ya. He's definitely been hurt. It'd be nice to see Buffalo shell out a Isles or StL 1st to get him. Then if he has surgery they can still do the tank and get a nice player.

Buffalo already has an underperformer in Cody Hodgson. I mean, John Scott has more goals than Hodgson. True story

They are actually both at 2. I'll give any Sabre a pass for being on the worst team in the last however many years. Best tank in a loooong time.

 

[Minny Lakes]

what did Kane ever do to get 6 million a year?
You hear about him a lot but I've never really noticed him during wild-jets games.

Got an extension after a 30 goal season in 2012. That was his only 50 point season in what is now his 6th year in the league. He's a good player but I don't think he's a super star. His off ice personality is another story.

His draft position has a lot to do with it. I mean, redrafting, I'd easily take OEL (6th overall) and Kadri (7th overall), Ellis (11th overall), and de Haan (12th overall) all over 4th overall Kane. Oh, and that is just the top 15 picks. Dude is a class A primadonna. Just look at what recently came out. Indefensible.

 

[DUMBA55]

Would PHX ever consider something around Zucker + Picks for Yandle?

Why would the Wild want to go after Yandle?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Why would you want to trade Zucker?

 

[57special]

Why would the Wild get rid of Zucker ?

 

[gphr513]

Yeah, I guess I don't think I would want to get rid of Zucker. Unless it was for a decent center. Then, maybe.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

All are good points. We do not need to give up assets for a defensemen. Our top 4 is FINE!

 

[Digitalbooya]

About the only thing I'd trade Zucker for.

 

[AJ Thelen]

If someone is getting shipped out, its probably Coyle before Zucker.

 

[BigT2002]

If someone is getting shipped out, its probably Coyle before Zucker.

I'm willing to wager its the other way around. Coyle is a golden child in this regime.

 

[DANOZ28]

if boston would give us their 2015 1st & 3rd would you trade coyle?

 

[Victorious Secret]

If someone is getting shipped out, its probably Coyle before Zucker.

By results, yes. But by hard work and 'potential', it'd be Zucker than Coyle.

I'm willing to wager its the other way around. Coyle is a golden child in this regime.

Pretty much. Hasn't earned dick.

if boston would give us their 2015 1st & 3rd would you trade coyle?

Yes. Immediately.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Which one is, and has been for a while, playing on a higher line?

 

[Crimson Live]

Which one is, and has been for a while, playing on a higher line?

Who has produced at a higher level?

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Who has produced at a higher level?

If you're referencing Zucker, that was his point I believe. Zucker has been on 2nd (line 1A) for a while now while Coyle has been on lines 3 and 4.

 

[Sarge58]

I'd hate to trade Zucker right now, we've developed the guy, and he's just starting to show us what he's got. A needed goal scorer, decent PK'r, game breaker speed, seems willing to work hard to better the weaker areas of his game. Plus he keeps me on the edge of my seat in close games when we need a goal.

The thing about Coyle is we have him under an awesome contract which ups his value quite a bit.

 

[Jarick]

I can't imagine the front office is dumb enough to trade Zucker.

$3.2m per year is not an "awesome" contract for a 3rd/4th liner.

 

[grN1g]

I've come to the conclusion we gotta be more patient with Charlie, the type of game he plays typically takes longer to translate to the NHL, But Yeo's got to find a way to make him a better player and stop gift wraping him all these 2nd and 3rd chances.

But if Coyle can be a 30-40pt guy who doesn't kill possession and can slot in as a Center or top6 wing every couple of shifts in the more physical games while being reliable in his own end, im happy for that 3.2 price tag, cause his age leaves room for GM's to wonder what else is their which only helps his value.

If all is lost for him with us over the next couple years, hes still young enough to be a nice fill in for a potential big trade later on.

 

[Minnesota]

I still think Coyle is going to be a late bloomer... A David Backes type.
