Value of: Jason Zucker at the deadline

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Buffalo is having another bad season, they are last in the Atlantic and the East.

But Jason Zucker is having a hell of a season all things considered.

18 goals 44 points in 54 games.

What's he get at the deadline? last time it was a 6th round pick but surely he gets more then that this time.

No more than a 2nd, no less than a 3rd.

Pretty much.

His injury is kind of a concern right now tho

Yeah, I figure either a 2nd or something like a 3rd and 5th or 6th get it done.

If we don't re-sign him.

What injury and what is timeline?

Zucker has pretty poor numbers in limited playoff appearances (which seems to be mostly limited to the 1st round).

Does he play with tenacity grit and heart?


If he's any kind of an upgrade on Podkolzin and Arvidsson, Oilers would take him for some cap headed back. But given his poor playoff numbers I'm assuming he's not that kind of player?

Nyquist just got a 2nd. I certainly wouldn’t settle for less than that if I’m Buffalo and would make a pretty strong argument Zucker is worth something substantially more given their play this year / gas left in tank…

What injury and what is timeline?

Took a puck off the foot. Limped off, played a few shifts after......played the game after.....but has been out the last 2 games.

So who knows. Lindy didn't think it'd be a thing where he missed multiple games.

Maybe I'm not used to it being a Sabres fan -- but yes, yes he does.
