If you let Zacha go unsigned, no reason to trade for him. Likely gets 3 x $3.5m

I don't understand why the Devils are giving up a pick when Zacha had more points than Eller and his headed to a RFA year as opposed to being a rental.

Devil liked this.

If Backstrom is out-out I expect Ovechkin to push for signing Malkin.
