While as a third party - this seems like a fair trade - I don't think PLD is willing to switch from WPG to MN (no offense, I'm sure MN is super nice and the vibes are immaculte) as he seems to be looking for a big market like MTL - hell he could end up in LA with Danault.

Zuccarello isn't waiving for Winnipeg and the Jets wouldn't want a 36 YO as part of the return.

You might be right about him not waiving for Winni (I mean what intelligent person would want to live there…), but…he makes perfect sense being part of this trade! He’s a legit middle 6 stopgap forward who can be flipped at the deadline. That plus 3 good pieces for the Jets’ future is a great return for PLD.

Respectfully Zuccarello isn't waiving. Fleury has said he will not waive for family reasons

I get all that…but strange things happen all the time… 🤷‍♂️

I mean true but not in nhl rarely

I love PLD the player, but want nothing to do with the guy. Everyone knows he wants to play in Montreal ASAP. He forced his way out of Columbus, he's about to force his way out of Winnipeg, who's to say he won't want to force his way out of Minnesota in a year or two? I think we're just setting ourselves up for a headache by trading for him, even if I do think he'd be perfect for us.

Value seems good, Winnipeg might not like taking on Zucc though.
