Description

I don't really care about the returns here. This is more about teams that would potentially want these players and might not be on the no-trade list in Zucker's case.

Detroit needs some decent vets to put around the young players. Zucker comes cheap in price and can be flipped at the deadline.

Seattle just needs players and Marcus Pettersson is solid.

McGinn seems like the type of player Edmonton would love to overpay on the bottom six.

You’d have to give up picks to move zucker and probably mcginn as well

Detroit has no use for Jason Zucker, Only player Detroit has interest in is Marcus Pettersson he fills a role in our top 4 LD.

Pettersson to Detroit sure, zucker I can't see unless the forward group gets super reworked.

McGinn is not a cap dump he has played really well this season would not trade him at all. you might be right with zucker but not many cuz he'll have only one year left

All of this. Detroit is moving past the cap dump acquisition phase of the rebuild, so a player would have to actually fit a role for Detroit to acquire them and Detroit has zero use for Zucker.
