Confirmed with Link: [DAL/NYR] Zuccarello (30% retained) for 2019 2nd (Cond 1st*,) & 2020 3rd (Cond 1st**)

[Kaapo Takko]

Not that bad for a 10 week rental. 2nd(maybe 1st) + 1st or 3rd + zucc back

 

[nevesis]

Matt? Haha...

Interesting about him needing to play at least 50% of the first two rounds.

Another condition.

 

[pld459666]

They have a paltry group of wingers.

Which makes the odds of signing him more likely.

This way Dallas keeps their 2019 1st

 

[FJB]

Terrible. It should be a guaranteed 1st + conditional not this bullshit. DAL is a f***ing wildcard team ffs

 

[egelband]

Just saying I’d rather pay Hayes based on age than Zuc

Me too. I like Zucc a lot but realistically on Hayes - of all the UFAs- fits the window age-wise.

Trying to wrap my head around that condition. Seems they don't have a lot of faith in him

 

[darko]

How is dallas going to re-sign him to the big contract he wants if they cant even afford his contract now?

They will be able too. Spezza and his 7.5 mill are coming off the books.

Love the conditions.

That's an odd condition for someone that has not shown to be injury prone

 

[CasusBelli]

Why would Gorton deal Zucc knowing he’s going to resign him and add that condition into the trade?

Insurance and deception. People change their minds. Maybe Zuccarello falls in love with Dallas. But, if he doesn’t, chances are he’ll want back in NYR. I bet Zuccarello and JG discussed this lengthily.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Zucc wasn’t worth two 1sts

My gut is telling me Dallas feels pretty confident those conditions won’t be met.

I mean they have to be if they’re going to risk two firsts

perfect spot for an obscure goalie

Anymore conditions? Like have to get to 3rd round, Zuke has to play more than 50 percent and Zuke has to have at least 3 slices of papa John's before the night of game 1.

It's like they know Zucc is a Ranger in his heart 4ever and they don't trust him. He's going to have to overproduce in Dal and win ppl over. Also reads to me that not many other teams were seriously considering Zucc.

 

[egelband]

Both sides truly not picking down to the last word. Injury caveat probably doesn’t take effect if Zucc is injured do to bull attack or getting trapped in a ten gallon hat.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Much like Callahan w/ TB, Dallas can give Zuccarello more money on equally-offered contracts against just about every team aside from the teams in Florida, Nashville and Vegas. If he wants his big payout, Dallas is a team that can give it to him.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Love the conditions.

I hate them, personally.

I’m just hoping for Dallas to fall in love with him. I mean he is a great character and Dallas has 0 depth beyond the big 3 forwards. If it works we have a guaranteed top 20 pick in 2020 since Dallas isn’t going anywhere in the playoffs lol

 

[duhmetreE]

If DAL and Zucc work well and feel as if their 2020 pick will be in the late 1st, they could look to re-sign Zucc.

Dagoon works for capfriendly now?

So do I

Yeah but you are effectively bargaining against yourself then. If that’s the case then he knows the most he can get is a 1st and 3rd.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Dallas will not be advancing to the Western Conference Finals and will not be paying market price for Zucc as UFA on top of coughing up a 1st.

So I can confidently proclaim those conditions are meaningless and we are stuck with just a 2nd and 3rd. Sucks but it’s done.

I have a feeling he was being sarcastic

are they trading for McDonagh ?
