Seriously, if you are were on the ice against him he'd skate right past you and score and wouldn't give a **** what you said.
I'd get him during a face off.

You are one of the few here who really understand this.
And there's a reason why he turned things around for the better after having a meeting with the management.

If I spent the last few years in Edmonton, I would burn my NTC, get a hotel next to the airport and ask them to tell me which city to book my flight to.

And it’s Detroit. Looks like you played yourself.

Makes the no matter what even more attractive. We have vets. Staal is not going anywhere, and is good with the kids and in the room as far as everyone says. Kreids and Zibs are both young vets and good with the kids. Fast is a young vet if he sticks around. Shatts is a vet as well and most likely wont be traded (but that is another I think they should think about), and the number one vet reason we don't need him back??? The King. How many vets does your rebuild need?

I can't imagine Zucc taking another "team-friendly" deal with us, especially since we're not competing anymore. Trade him

You know, I actually liked Zucc before @Webster showed up on here... LOL
Yeah and what is the definition of team friendly?
1/2? 2/6?
3/9 would be too much for me.
I'm fine with a vet group of Kreider, Zib, Staal and Hank.
In the extremely unlikely scenario where all three of Hayes, Kreider, and Zib are traded, then by all means extend Zuc.

at 2 or 3 years it's not about the money it's about blocking the kids. We are all about getting rid of Hayes for just this reason, no need to make an exception with Zucc.

I think we will see one of Smith/Shattenkirk and one of Namestnikov/Vesey dealt at this deadline on top of Zuccarello, Hayes and McQuaid.

I would love this if true, but 5 trades at the deadline seems like a lot for us (maybe multiples going out in one deal)?

Well as a pure winger Zucc isn't really blocking anyone.. I think Hayes it a bit different considering management is insisting on LA and Howden playing center. Thats not including Chytil who they may move back to center.

He traded a very early 2nd along with 16th as well which the Isles used to move up a few spots and select notable Ranger killer Beauvillier. Chia is literally responsible for the Isles success (Eberle, Beauvillier, Barzal) for Griffin Reinhart and a Ryan SpoonerIt's Chiarelli
Jordan Eberle -> Ryan Strome
Taylor Hall -> Adam Larsson
16th OA -> Griffin freaking Reinhart
Ryan Strome -> Ryan Spooner
Ryan Spooner -> Waivers
And let's not forget this gem from his time in Boston
Tyler Seguin + Rich Peverley + Ryan Button -> Loui Eriksson + Joe Morrow + Reilly Smith + Matt Fraser

I can, but that doesn't make not trading him any less enticing. It's time to move on from Zuccarello; He was a great Ranger but his value will continue to decline and now is the time to recoup as many assets as we can.

I think 2 more years at his current AAV wouldn't sink the ship... But I think he wants more money and probably 3-4 yrs
I wouldn't be surprised if Talbot vetoed a trade here. He's probably not going to build his FA value much behind this defense with minimal starts.
That being said, I could think of several other teams that would be worse options.

No way the Talbot trade had to do with us
It’s either Philly, NJ, or the Canes
Eh, for a guy who is playing for his NHL future between now and the end of the season, going to a team with a net that's prime for the taking seems like a wise move. Moreso than a place where he's the guaranteed back up.

Rebuilding.
Not to go back to Pulju, but just a note... even *if* the Rangers are not interested in him, they could still use him as a potential trade chip elsewhere (thinking how Hoffman stayed in division last off-season going from OTT > SJS > FLA).
