Preds would certainly be interested in Zucc but they aren't trading their top forward prospect for a rental. The picks help but likely doesn't impact the roster for 2-4 years for a team largely in win-now mode.

I agree to some extent but you have to give in order to get and the predators are not getting any younger and need to win now when the pekka rinne window is open and i think a player like zucc would compliment forsberg extremely very well and has put up 60 pts pretty consistently. McQuaid is the type of defensive depth player that you need in the yoffs and fits with the preds pretty well i think. As far as Tolvannen goes, he seems like he might be a stud, but is still a solid two seasons from being truly impactful which puts him out of the rinne contract window.
