Additional Details:
Zucker is on LTIR
2.
NJD
  1. 2021 2nd round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
I get the Islanders don't have much cap space but I think this trade will happen. Lou loves his Devils players (Schneider, Greene). Also Zajac has a NMC and at this deadline I think he would waive for NY (close to NJ)

The pens might pay a second if the devils retain like 40-50% of the contract. But he only has 3 points in 11 games. For his contract is pretty rough.

Yeah Devils would retain. I forgot to add that. But he is starting to pick it up

I think it would be something the pens might be willing to bite on for the right price. Could get Malkin going even more than he has been lately too.

If I’m not mistaken, the pens were interested in him when he was coming over from Russia too. I just would imagine he would fit perfectly with malkin. And being he is a pending UFA makes it great too.

Zajac makes sense for both sides
As I have said before, I would hang onto Palms and Gusev, let them be the vets on the team

it seems like Dal Colle secured that spot. If the isles needed a center, lou would definitely go after zajac - but it doesn't make sense for the isles. They can't even afford zajac with 50% retention.

That's what I figured but I have a feeling Zajac to the Isles will happen because of Lou

if the devils take komarov back, sure. There's really nowhere for him to play. Trotz doesn't want 3 right handed shots on the 3rd line. Don't think zajac would waive to be an extra forward.

He probably wouldn't but Islanders is the only place I see him waiving to since his family is in NJ. Devils could take back Komarov but the Isles will have to add

The isles can't afford to do that, which is why zajac to NYI is highly unlikely - im sure lou loves zajac but I don't think he's that out of touch that he would spend assets on a player that wouldn't have a spot in the lineup.

The last thing the Isles need is center depth. I remember a rumor last season of Zajac being asked to waive his NTC and refusing, and it was speculated it was for NYI.

I doubt that tbh. Zajac had two years left at almost 6 mil at that time. I don't think the Isles were comfortable taking that salary/term and the Devils were probably hesitant to retain

Friedman said there was a deal in place for zajac and zajac wouldn't waive. Then the isles traded for pageau.

Difference this year vs last - from NJD perspective - is the Devils have 4-5 centers in lineup that are outplaying him with Nico's return, Hughes, McLeod, Zacha all playing well, emergence of Sharangovich. But agree Isles may not be best landing spot for him.

We could kneecap one of them, if you'd like. Jersey has guys.
