theres no way dallas wins two playoff rounds lmao

 

[FireGerardGallant]

The majority of players sign where they're traded. Decent chance for a 1st there.

Better chance of getting abducted by aliens than that ****ing team reaching the WCF.

If this is what happens we get a first and second for zuc. Which is what people thought he’d get traded for

 

[Machinehead]

Yeah there's no way Dallas is winning two rounds and there's no way we were ever getting two 1st's for Zuccarello. The fact that there's even a hit-lotto chance at two 1st's is a victory.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

So a mid second and a decent chance at a first in another super deep draft, sounds good to me

Yeah people massively overrated Zuccarello here.

For the return that some wanted, they should have moved him 2 summers ago.

Good on him to play his way back to what his value was here (Which may still work out to a pair of 1sts, or perhaps a 1st and a 2nd which is pretty good) but with the way that he played most of the 1.75 seasons, anyone expecting a 1st straight up and a treasure trove of prospects was out to lunch.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

This outrage over this trade is really stupid

Yeah especially if just one of the conditions are met.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

"Could be two firsts"

We could make a run at the 8th seed, too.

Come on people. It may look good that in theory we could get two firsts out of it but the chances of even getting one are unlikely.

We were all expecting a second and a prospect, we got what has a really good chance of becoming a mid 40’s pick this season and a first next year

 

[BBKers]

I'm not so sure Zucc will help the Rangers with those picks becoming a first...

We have put up with enough of your Shenanigans. Go to the Dallas board and troll now. This ends here. Now

 

[Drew4u]

If Dallas loses in the 1st round, would they even want to sign Zucc and give up their 1st. Probably not.

Read this post in Gandalf’s voice, you’ll thank me

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Dallas isn't beating Nashville or Winnipeg. Gorton is a ****ing idiot.

However, with Zucc's brother following them on social media before the trade even went down, it could very well be possible that he plans to resign there.

Great city, and good weather. Not a bad place to end up for the next few years of his career.

So, hoping that is the 1st rounder, because there is no ****ing way in hell Dallas is getting to the WCF this season.

If things played out the way you just painted it they would get a 2nd and a 1st for Zucc.

How does that make him an idiot? Thats a home run for this player.

 

[NYRKING30]

Your still here?

 

[broadwayblue]

Let's hope he really likes it there. A 2nd this year and a 1st next year would be a legit return.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Think the chances of him signing there are actually pretty decent as long as they don't blow chunks.

This could work out to a 2nd and a 1st at the end of the day, thats a massive win.

It could, but why would Dallas give up a 1st to sign a 32-year old Zucc longterm? It's not happening.

 

[EpicDing]

HEY EVERYONE REMINDER

All the insiders have said the whole time Zucc gets a 2nd +. This is that with the potential for being more.

Step back from the god damn ledge and learn to temper your expectations.

 

[E-Train]

Someone here did predict Zucc and Brass long term in Dallas. Big city, nice weather, NO state income tax.

 

[nevesis]

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Look guys, chill. We all hope he signs in Dallas, but if someone was offering a first we would have taken it without conditions. What this means is there was a ton of foot traffic but they all wanted to give us 2nds or less. We took the best deal we could, and it is better then letting him walk for nothing.

 

[Hire Sather]

If Dallas loses in the 1st round, would they even want to sign Zucc and give up their 1st. Probably not.

and if they do somehow win 2 rounds and lose one first do they really want to lose another?

 

[nevesis]

Hahahahahaha

 

[Savant]

Even if Zuccarello works out, are we sure Dallas will have cap space to resign him? It is a fake news condition. As if Dallas is going give up a 1st (as opposed to a 3rd) in a loaded 2020 draft. Gorton got played.

I'm not even going to talk about them winning two rounds.

This is isn't creativity, this is overthinking

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

It could, but why would Dallas give up a 1st to sign a 32-year old Zucc longterm? It's not happening.

They suck at drafting and they keep signing over 30 offensive players, seems like they’ve got a pretty good chance of resigning him

 

[Hire Sather]

anyway getting one first out of this would be great but lets all be honest and realize the chance of getting both is basically 0.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Did we retain salary? Edit: wow they did

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

It could, but why would Dallas give up a 1st to sign a 32-year old Zucc longterm? It's not happening.

They may not have other options available to them.

Thats a team that needs to make things happen now and their owner is nuts-o. Unless hes a horrible fit there, I'd say theres probably a reasonable chance that he signs.
