Benn for Zucc.
Dankest timeline.
Not gonna lie I easily would. Zucc might be bad before his contract ends and Benn is bad now, plus cap savings.

It's the way you have to build a roster when you find a grand total of one quality NHLer out of two consecutive drafts. The 2013 and 2014 drafts featured 18 picks, and the only guy on the roster from them is Dickinson, a dude who looks like he'll finish most seasons with more games on IR than points. Those are the players who should be part of that young core.Everyone is too focused on Benn's decline. Team's real problem is our entire team is either too old or too young to win the Cup. Cup teams usually have a core in their primes.
We have Esa and Kilingberg in their primes, maybe Seguin, hopefully Bishop. Miro and Rope ahead of their primes but maybe good enough to not matter. Jamie O in prime, but not good enough to matter. A checking center in his prime Faksa May not make a difference.
Top 4 fw 29 or above, past the typical scoring prime. Not the way to build a roster, really.
I call Bullshit on that one.When you can't draft you need to go sign Radulov and Pavelski and Perry and Sekera and Hanzal and Comeau.
Problem is, they are expensive and have high probability to start declining.
Hanzal was a strange signing. I have always thought that if Nill knew on July 1st that Radulov was signing with the Stars, he wouldn’t have gone after Hanzal.I call Bull**** on that one.
That was a dumb signing from any perspective
I've always thought he did it as a replacement for Eakin, which wasn't a loss that needed to be replaced.Hanzal was a strange signing. I have always thought that if Nill knew on July 1st that Radulov was signing with the Stars, he wouldn’t have gone after Hanzal.
To me it was Nill going with the best free agent he knew he could get because he couldn’t come out of free agency empty handed. It was essentially a panic move. Then after the ink dried on Hanzal’s deal, Radulov’s agent called.I've always thought he did it as a replacement for Eakin, which wasn't a loss that needed to be replaced.
But everyone knew he was as durable as a wet paper bag.
Which made both the $amount and term really stupid
