That’s not exactly a positive return. Before Wood’s injury he was worth a 2nd tops. The fact he has been injured all season depreciates his value. I doubt Wood would even return a 4th round pick until he actually comes back from injury.
That’s a positive return for zucker. He’s been hurt half the year also, along with his 5m+ cap hit for .5PPG player is not attractive, along with the fact he only has on year left on that contract and then he’s a UFA who may not even resign. He has absolutely no value to NJD, playoff depth for contender possibly little value, but with contract no contender is going to want him or have cap for him, a la pretty much worthless at this point in time. So I guess I’m not saying he’s worthless, more of this is probably not the best time to be shopping him, off-season would make more sense, and i don’t think NJD is going to be the team to want him at all.
Along with NJD fans loving wood, he brings more to the team then points and they value that whether he plays this year or not. So in their eyes he’s still worth a 2nd.
I’m not a NJD fan so I could be way off here but I don’t see Devils moving Wood, they value him to much along with value being “down” cause of not playing this year. But he’s still a RFA on cheap contract and will still be a good cheap player next season when he returns on a new bridge deal contract I assume so need and want to deal him isn’t their unless they’re going to get something valuable in return
