Zucker will cost you at least your 1st round pick and Kylington. His value went up after the TDL.

No it won’t, MIN lose their bargaining advantage now that calgary isn’t desperate for deadline help.
MIN want to trade Zucker more than CGY needs to chase him, there’s a whole open market now.

If CGY does revisit I can promise you no 1st will be involved, Frolik and 2nd/3rd likely if anything.

You say that like Calgary is the only team interested in him. News flash: they aren't. It has been reported that Carolina was also interested in him as well. Plus, now that the deadline has passed, there are also non-playoff teams that previously weren't interested in him (since they are "tanking") that now would be. It's not like Fenton is desperate to get Zucker off his hands, we aren't going to just give him away

Sure there probably is other teams interested, I’m not disagreeing with you. I can confirm 100% that if they wish to revisit with Calgary they will not be getting a 1st, it’s been reported on our end already.

If someone wants to pay that , by all means smile I’d rather package our first + for something better any way. Zucker is a good complementary piece but he doesn’t drive a line on his own. He led be 2nd/3rd line on CGY

Fine by me. I'd be FUMING if a trade like this went through. You're right, Zucker can't carry a line, but he's shown he can score 30 goals if he's put with someone that can. Players like that are very valuable, much more valuable than a cap dump a late 2nd, and a late 3rd.

James Neal says Hi.
30g is good but again, he’s a secondary scorer which means he needs a line to carry him.
He might get a 1st it’s entirely possible as they wanted one at the deadline but according to the CGY media, flames will revisit with MIN but a 1st will not be part of their offer.

Cgy will still offer Frolik + just not sure what the “+” is at this point. MIN may hold out for a better offer, we’ll have to wait and see!

So you are saying that Alex Chaisson and Zack Kassian are worth something close to Zucker, No first for a supplementary player

James Neal is also more than 4 years older than Zucker and doesn't have nearly as much speed to his game. Zucker is easily the fastest skater on the Wild, that's really the epitome of his game.

Again, Calgary may offer that but Fenton would have to be a complete idiot to take a deal like that. Frolik isn't anything more than an overpaid bottom 6 forward. That's like me saying Marcus Foligno + a non-first pick is worth Noah Hanifin...

I feel like you're stuck on the idea that the Wild have to trade Zucker. We really don't, I'd be more than happy keeping him on the team. His speed is a big plus for a team with guys like Koivu, Rask, and even Staal at this point in his career.

No, I'm saying a guy that has consistently produced 20 goals and has a season of over 33 goals is worth more than a late first. Kassian and Chiasson aren't anywhere near as talented as Zucker. Those guys are 4th line plugs, Zucker is a solid top 6 winger. You clearly think he's good if you have him on your 1st line

I'm saying he can do what Zack and Alex do, Keep his stick on the ice and let Mony and Chucky bounce the puck in off it because he's fast enough to get to the net to make that happen.

Fenton will trade Zucker that much is for sure.
Just don’t know where yet, but seeing in how the trade was a “done deal” literally a filing error on MIN’s end at the deadline it’s almost guaranteed Zucker isn’t in their long term plans

Don't be so sure. Like I've said, Zucker looked a lot better after the deadline. Fenton changed his mind about Eriksson Ek after he started playing well (it was reported he was being shopped but Fenton stopped after Ek was shutting down the league's best in an elevated role) so he can certainly change his mind about Zucker. Do I think Zucker will be traded? Yes, but that doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion.

Edit: It also doesn't mean he's going to literally give the guy away

I agree he won't be given away but In this crazy little Armchair I gave Three active NHL players for Zucker and a couple of late picks That's not Nothing. in some posts, other ACGM's have given quite a bit for Janko.

But it's not like Zucker is some zombie-brained pylon that can't do anything but skate and bang pucks away. He can shoot well and he's an underrated passer IMO. You don't put up 33 goals and 31 points in a season without having skill. Is he going to make plays out of nothing like Panarin, McDavid, or Kucherov can? No, but he can sure as hell finish them and get guys like that the puck to create them. He's a top 6 forward and any team that wants him will have to trade for him as such. If this is all Calgary is willing to offer, then Fenton should be fired on the spot if he takes it.

But none of them are any better than bottom 6 players. It takes quality to get quality and this is quantity. The Wild are set with our depth, we have a bunch of bottom 6 forwards. We need 1st round picks, young (under 24) right shot forwards with top 6 upside, and young LD with 2nd pairing upside. You haven't given us any of those pieces in this deal.

One Year, only one of seven he did that, he's averaging 21 not 33 he is a decent player no question but your opinion of value (I believe) is overrated

Doesn't matter if he only did it one year, you don't put up 33 goals and 64 points in the National Hockey League if you're as bad of a hockey player as you're making him out to be. The other years he was never put with a playmaker like Mikael Granlund, and as soon as we did BAM 33 goals. You also clearly disagree with your own opinion since you have him on the top line. If he's just a 20 goal guy, why is he playing with Tkachuk and Monahan? 20 goal guys should be playing on the 2nd or 3rd line on a contender. I'm not trying to say Zucker is some prodigy of a hockey player, I'm saying he's a good top 6 forward that has played well on the 1st line with a playmaker that can get him the puck. I will be shocked if Fenton gets anything less than a 1st round pick in a trade and if that's the case then I'll be calling for Fenton to be fired.

I do like Zucker, and Mony and Chucky could make him a 30 goal scorer, but they can do that with someone else too, he is placed three on hockey news Depth chart, behind Kunin and Fiala so just because I'm throwing him with two top hands, please don't think that he's going to pull in an NHL ready top pairing potential D-Man and/or young top six forward, It's TOO large a price for him.
