I wouldn't call trading Zucker for Kessel, trading low. Not even remotely. Kessel is still a helluva player.

Others are the ones saying it.

I’m just asking the question as to why ppl feel they can get him cheap?

Zucker for Okposo and the 30/31
- SABRES 89

I think Jbotts would jump all over that, I'll even throw in a prospect (CJ Smith) to sweeten the pot.

Go get me Kadri..... Solid 2nd line center that has the ability to score 30+ goals.. Grit player (also bone headed) but that is what this team needs more of. I would give the Leafs my late first rounder but and the Scandy man and a prospect if needed.

Granlund
Coyle
Niederriter

Donato
Rask (Whom they are now trying to dump)
Fiala (Prospect who is meh

That's growing on me but doubt the Leafs trade him to the Sabres.

Minnesota's current GM is having a run of awful awful trades.
Seriously go look at how bad it is.

True... is Zucker the “right” player though?

Right or wrong he was creating cap space, He was creating cap space which he’s accomplished.

That's growing on me but doubt the Leafs trade him to the Sabres.

I feel the same way, Sabres would prob have to over pay to make it happen. However I think I would be willing to over pay for Kadri if the leafs would listen...

We don’t need him at his 5.5 cap hit unless one of scandella sobotka or okposo are going back in trade

What do you think a 50 point 25 goal scoring winger is going to get in Free Agency??

Problem is he’s only done that once, right before he signed his new deal.

He’s more of a 45ish guy until he proves otherwise on a consistent basis.

And last yr he had 42 points with 14 on the pp.

He's scored 20 plus goals in 4 out of the last 5 seasons

He's 27 and signed until he's 31

His contract isn't bad at all especially once Free Agency starts

I’d love to steal Fiala away from Minny

He has but he’s only been a 25 goal scorer once.

If you can buy low? Sure take a shot.
I just don’t see Minny selling low. Especially since it was Zucker for Kessel

I think that’s kinda low.

I don’t think Kessel is very good anymore

We just gave a 55 point, 27 goal scorer $9M a year so do the math.

I really hope this is sarcasm.

Who needs a point per game player anyway?

Let me rephrase.

I think Kessel is good. I don’t think he’s what he used to be.
