If Zucker was a centre piece of a failed Kessel bid in Minny, I would suggest you are looking at possibly Olofsson..... which is a complete 100% non starter. Same with Cozens. In short..... don't see a fit here at all

Minnesota kessel deal didn't fall apart because they weren't giving enough, it was because Kessel vetoed it

If they think they are getting either of those players for Zucker, they are outta their dang minds.

I can see someone like Ryan Johnson, Marcus Davidsson, or Oskari Laaksonen being of interest from Minnesota's perspective. Zucker is not valuable enough to land an upper tier prospect like a Cozens or an Olofsson but I can see Minnesota seeking 1-2 of the names I mentioned above as Minnesota looks to infuse their system with young caliber players.

I’ll take Ryan Johnson and a 2020 2nd for Zucker.

I am aware. But it's an idea of where Minny sees Zucker.

honestly I wouldn't mind that (I'd still think the pieces I put above would have to be included simply because of cap)

Zucker isn't even close to being worth Cozens...he wouldn't fetch a 1st round pick either...he has 3 seasons over 40 points and one over 50 points, that's not impressive at all.

(And that's in 8 NHL seasons...again, not impressive or worth any top draft picks or prospects.)

Ummmmm.... that's what I said dude.

The Sabres raved about Johnson in dev camp. I have a feeling that Oskari Laaksonen is someone who gets moved its just strange to me why they have not signed him yet. Samuelsson is another name I would include before Johnson. And someone with some cap like Rodrigues who has fallen out of favor.
