Thread: Hall and Lafreniere
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swisspred</b></div><div>I see that point, i think Hofmann could get 6m as well, regarding term, Hofmann is 2y older than Hall, so a shorter contract gets them to similar age. i am not sure Tolvanen or Jarnkrok can fill out that spot, but maybe it is not necessary.

In terms of trading a D - which one would you trade? It destabilizes the Preds D even further. If they trade Ellis maybe a more defensive responsible D to pair Josi with is required. If you trade Ekholm, you need another Ekholm to fill that gap. Unfortunately a prospect wont be enough for Nylander (though they might want to shake up their roster).

Appreciate your input!</div></div>

I would prefer to trade Ekholm considering his age and need for a new contract soon, as well as positional depth with Davies and Farrance. But I'd be open to trading Ellis if Nashville could get another RHD in a different deal. I proposed a Turris at $1.5m retained + 2020 2nd for Colin Miller -- and BUF fans seemed in agreement that they would accept that deal.

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Jason Zucker (5 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swisspred</b></div><div>Dude is 26 years old with 3 NHL seasons played. The contract takes him to 31 year old, which is where you get a retirement contract for 6 year at an absurd aav (see Ladd, Eriksson, etc.). If he keeps up his pace he gets payed another time, but if not he can live happily without stress.</div></div>

It's been 4 full seasons (with some injuries) and a couple where he shuttled back and forth between the AHL and NHL every time Yeo thought Zucker looked at him wrong. The rest of your comment makes sense but I just wanted to point out that he's not some late bloomer who barely has 3 years under his belt. He scored an OT GWG in the 2013 playoffs for us so he's been around a little while.
