Pass from Vancouver

Zuccarello would get a 6th rd pick at best and he would not be a good fit on the isles

In what world does Zuccarello brings a better return than JT Miller lol

C'mon, Zuccarello would get a good pick he just had a great year.

Do not see the Isles doing it, but he clearly gets more than a 6th.

pacioretty went for FC, bjorkstand who is better and younger went for a 3rd + 4th. Zuccarello is 35 YO with a high AAV, he's not getting more than a 6th

In what world do you get a forward owed only 750k who plays C/LW, PK/PP, and just had a career year for nothing, and don't use the Patches trade as a comparable because that was a once in a lifetime trade

Both of those players that you named absolutely had to be traded off their teams. Lou was ready to if not offered 7x7ish for Kadri (31, 38 at the expiration of his deal).

Kadri Vs Zuccarello 2021 season
71 70 Gms
28 24 G
59 55 A
13 21 +/-

Not saying that Zuccarello is equal to or close to equal to Kadri, but he can very well still perform at a level near Kadri, and has proven it at his age. Has Kadri proven that yet?

Im guessing this is in reference to Kerfoot? and in a world where he has a $3M cap hit, they are $7M over the cap and they have a young LHD, who is arguably their best defender that they still haven't signed, that world.

Leafs are 1.4 mil over the cap and Sandin is still extremely unproven. The idea that he would be traded for nothing is idiotic

Canucks decline. We are trading Miller because we don’t want to overpay him as a pending UFA. Trading for Dumba is counter productive

My fault on the # - was thinking Edmonton, still have to get rid of salary, and Kerfoot is the most likely candidate.

Guerin isn't stupid enough to piss off kaprizov. Zuccarello is everything to kaprizov. Even if dumba is available, looks like the hm has a certain value of him, and won't move him if he doesn't

Zuccarello is everything to kaprizov - this is the same GM who has quotes such as "we don't have time for petty bull****" or "this is about F**king winning", etc, you don't think that if he could get a significantly better player to play with Kirill at a net pretty much even all around in this world, that he wouldn't do it? I completely and utterly disagree.

Also, Dumba will absolutely get traded if he does not like the $3.5M contract that's put in front of him, as that is the amount the wild can afford to pay him.

The isles couldn't sign Kadri because they couldn't shed salary . Lou didn't want to give up a 1st rd pick to move Bailey,. So now you think the isles would give up a 2023 1st and have to use a 2024 1st to dump Bailey just to acquire Zuccarello?

Zuccarello is a product of kaprizov and there isn't a comparable player who's 35+ who went for a 1st rd pick.

I mean, and Kadri isn't a product of Mackinnon, Makar, Landeskog, Raantanen, etc? Also, has there been a 35+ player that has been traded that has had 1+ppg?

Lou is still looking for that skilled forward you mentioned!

Kadri definitely is a product of the team he played for , that's not my point. My point is that Lou refused to give up a high pick to shed salary so he can just give Kadri $$, he's not giving up 2 1st rd picks to acquire Zuccarello

*checks notes* cant find Islanders PPG forward *re-checks notes* still isnt there

I didn't realize the cap crunch the Isles are in to be completely honest, I mean the Wild could take bailey on in that deal, they still have the cap space and could move him at the deadline, etc, or just hold him for a year, I don't think that would be overly unrealistic. I also don't think it would be unrealistic if he bounced back a little bit.

Dumba is washed id rather keep a top 15 centre than a #4 dman who costs more

Lol no

You'd have to pay to get rid of Bailey, if the isles trade for someone it has to be a player with above average finishing ability. Zuccarello doesn't fit that mold
