Even this return seems optimistic. None of the 6-7 contending teams really have any use for him. Zacha wont displace a top-9 player on any of them, and he would be miscast as a forth liner. Barring significant injuries, I see him remaining in NJ.

Totally agree. Not many contenders have any use for him. But between now and then, if a middle 6 guy gets hurt, and you happen to think Zacha has upside, then maybe you offer a late 2nd, possibly a 3rd +. But zero chance anyone trades a 1st for Zacha. If a source told me that I would be highly skeptical...
