Sujet: (NYR/DAL) - Zuccarello for draft picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>How do people think the Stars won this trade? There is a possibility they could be giving up 2 1st round picks.</div></div>

Because a 2nd and 3rd are within the realm of reasonable for a top 6 rental and they got the better player in the deal.
Nobody thinks Dallas will make it far enough for NYR to get one of the 1sts. I'm not even convinced Dallas does, but this shows their players and fanbase they are making an effort. (Basically ownership taking responsibility after making some irresponsible comments this season.)

Whether Dallas re-signs him is completely their choice. Whether the trade would then be still worth it, depends on how well Zucc performs in Dallas.
If he performs poorly and they don't re-sign him, it changes nothing. If he performs well and they re-sign him, then the value to NYR and the value to Dallas both increase by a similar amount, so at worst it could become a "fair" trade.
Dallas has all the control and an NHL player, while NYR is crossing their fingers that they get better picks and that those picks eventually turn into NHL players.
