Thread: Dallas-NYR Big Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buchiegang</b></div><div>Hintz has shown nothing in the NHL to say he’s a Top 6 forward in waiting. He’s just now starting to produce well in the AHL at 22...</div></div>

He has shown signs if you have actually watched him play. He has only ever had one other AHL season lol. He has all the tools to be a good top 6 forward. Plays hard every shift, strong in puck battles, big, physical, very fast, good hands, good shot, strong defensively, It's tough to produce on a Stars team (in a 4th line role too) that has some of the worst offensive depth it has ever had. Not every top 6 player starts the same. Could easily have a huge breakout season next year. Rangers management would have interest in him being a part of the deal for sure. There's a reason the Stars wouldn't move him for Karlsson. I think your expectations of what you'll get for those guys are too high. Fans rarely turn out happy when they see the return they get for players.

He is about 1m over paid but is versatile and if deployed right could be a good fit with the stars especially if johns ends up on ltir for any length of time.

He definitely wouldn't be more important to this team than Polak is. And is worse defensively than both Polak and Fedun. Zaitsev is just not the dman we need. We need a legitimate 2nd pairing defenseman that can play top 4 minutes, not be a liability, contribute offensively and compliment Heiskanen's game, and kill penalties. We don't need a dman that needs to be sheltered. The type of dman we need is gonna be costly
