Sujet: Seattle, Read Comment
Islanders pay Seattle to take Boychuck, Ladd, and Hickey. Picks/prospects will be included. Seattle takes 4 goalies as insurance in case something similar happens like it did to Vegas. This team has a lot of cap space to upgrade where they see fit, I felt that this was the best picks. NAK could be swapped for a guy like JVR if they want to go for more of a playoff type team, but due to the forward group available, I dont believe that they will be there quite yet. Defense will be a strength of this team. It is possible that Seattle selects 1/2 more defenseman as trade candidates to try to get a more talented forward group. Lineup will be
McCann-Pavelski-Kase
Wagner-Stenlund-NAK
Girgensons(Possible Trade Candidate)-Appleton-Accairi
Trenin-Sturm-Bastian
Gambrell, Gauthier, Highmore, Erne, and Kampf will be extras/trade options. If Zemgus is dealt, Kampf is likely the best option to fill.

Graves-Tanev
Dunn-Cernak
Bean-Holl(Possibly Dealt)
Fleury, Jones extras. If Holl is dealt, likely a UFA to replace him on the right side.

Vanecek starts, Allen backing up. Hill ahl starter, Daccord ahl backup to start. Performance will be a factor.

Sujet: Zucker for Hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>BUF declines very quickly.

Is Hall having a horrendous year? Yes.

But Zucker has what 41 pts the past two seasons and is equally poor this year. 5.5mil is a bad salary to take on for that production, especially since the BUF rebuild needs years. In his career, Zucker has scored 41 pts, 41 pts, 47 pts and one time 64 pts back in 2017-2018. He doesn;t have negative value, but Hall AND retention is worth way more.

5.5mil for 40ish pts a year is not a good contract on a player that injuries seem to be creeping up (especially given his linemates and icetime, his production should be way higher). Good player, but about 1.5mil overpaid and of no use to BUF really.</div></div>

IMHO, Buffalo should take that and run. Zucker, while having a rough year, has been injured as played on a line that has not suited him. Buffalo desperately needs quality with term. They get that in this deal and get an additional pick. Hall, who is having an awful season production wise, is a play driving winger. Also, after watching the game last night, has shot himself in the foot a lot this season. He had 2 turnovers that directly led to Pit goals. Not sure he is worth that package, even with retention.

Sujet: Teddy Blueger
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>What sort of return would you want for Blueger instead of this package?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brgh4life</b></div><div>Yah, that's my point. Teddy is a cheap 3rd line center that does it all. Produces without quality talent around him. Excellent penalty killer and defensive player. He would be a big addition to a contending team, but that team would have to overpay for him since Pittsburgh has no reason to trade him.</div></div>

I'd have to agree. Not to mention he is out "longer term", meaning I really doubt that he is traded this season. When looking for a new contract he will be more likely to be moved but like stated above, he is a perfect 3/4C for Pit as he is able to produce decent numbers without much talent around him and does a lot of the little things that HCMS loves.
