Zucc Linked to Calgary in Trade Talks

36 played one heck of a game in Jersey tonight. Why is signing him for two years if he'd take it beyond consideration for Gorton? It's not as if he's taking a roster spot away from some great young phenom.
Zuc been playing great hockey lately,he has overlooking like his old self,keep it up

12 points in his last 6 games approaching the deadline... what are you talking about?

 

This, plus a 61 point pace on this season which would match his career high. He's playing extremely well over the course of the last month or so after a slow start + inj. Based on production, his value was trending downwards to start the year but it's recovered by now.

Trading Zucc is a mistake. Yeah, he's 30, I get it. There are certain people who play sports like their 5 years younger. I think Zucc is one of them. Whatever return the Rangers get in a trade will have a ton of risks and the chance of getting a player better then they have with Zucc is very slim. Add on his manageable cap hit and it really makes no sense. Without Zucc on the first line, you are back to not having a first line. Getting back to the age thing, I think Zucc is in his prime now and he has a minimum of 4 years that I could see him playing at his best. Then you factor in the lockeroom, Hank, the fans and IMO they should just sign him, piss on potential, risky prospects or draft picks.

Any time you have a guy approaching UFA, when you are a rebuilding team, you have to move him. Is he going to want to stay on a team with no chance of winning? He's 31 years old. If he's lucky he has maybe 4-5 years left in the league. He's going to want to sign a big ticket somewhere, and he's going to want to sign it with a competitive team.

 

Love Zuc, he's been one of my favorite Rangers ever. But everything comes to an end. Get assets to help rebuild for him while you can instead of losing him for nothing

He can re-sign in the offseason for 3 x 3 if he wants to play in NY.

So you want to keep Zucc knowing that he's an Unrestricted Free Agent at the end of the season and may decide to just go anywhere else and trade Hayes for a sandwich?

If they sign him he's not a UFA. / Maybe a 1st and a sammich. I'm not on the Hayes is great team.

What am I talking about?? :rofl:

 

When he hasn't been out of the lineup with menstrual cramps, he's been downright unispiring to say the LEAST.

 

Hey listen, I'm glad he's playing better of late, maybe we can get something decent for him, but you have to be careful....some of those NHL GM's actually know what they're doing! ;)

Zucc for Calgary draft pick(s)? Sign me up. Zucc would give the Flames a boost in trying to get deep in the playoffs. Rangers could use draft picks

Calgary is tough because they don't have a 2nd rounder. I guess, since they're going to be a high seed, they might be OK with trading pick #25 or whatever, but a 1st for Zucc seems like a stretch, and a 3rd is an undersell.

would you take their 2020 2nd if they also included a 2019 3rd?

 

It seems like the market is a bit of a buyers market not so Idk if we'd be getting firsts for everyone but maybe CGY would be willing to part with their 2020 1st?

Yea probably, but I think Zucc's best return will include a prospect - along the lines of Lindgren, Howden.

The way zuc is playing right now ,maybe we could get two first rounders ,like Tampa got from us

Anyway ,the way zuc is playing right now ,I hate to trade him

 

I feel this way as well. With the way him, CK and Zib are playing together, Id hate to ruin that chemistry. That is the only line where all 3 guys are gelling.
