Thread: GMJR has work to do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Once again, delusional if you think hawks wouldn’t trade a middle 6 40-50 point forward for a legit starter in Murray who had a down season. That trade just needs to die.</div></div>

Its more or less a place holder as I mentioned, but considering Grubauaer in 2018, who is more or less a similar asset to what Jarry is, got a mid 2nd and had Orpik's contract attached, meaning he was likely worth a late first. Murray, who could boost his value a ton in these playoffs, should be that at a minimum.

Saad is likely a similar asset to Zucker, which cost a B prospect, late 1st, and Galchenyuk (likely just for salary purposes). But Zuker also had 3 extra years at a reasonable cap hit, so Saad is likely worth a little less since it'd only be for one year.

Thread: Get Zucker and Keep Kessel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>biglite351</b></div><div>Not too long ago I posted as to how offensively, Rust and Zucker are not all that far apart (Zucker only slight edge) and that Rust is the better all around player (slight), and so the $2M increase in cap hit was highly questionable as to if it was worth it. If the Pens are adding a 1st, then Minnesota is taking Johnson too. Zucker for Rust, 1st and Johnson.

Don't forget that the Wild have been trying to move Zucker (10 team no trade list) for a year, and at least 19 teams aren't biting.</div></div>

It's mainly the fact Rust two main linemates last year were Crosby and Guentzal, but he would go on month-long scoring droughts, and his almost 40 points last year were bloated by a few good games. Agree that adding a first is probably an overpayment.
