Weekes: Teams interested in trading for Zacha

[Cheddabombs]

I'll root for my son no matter where he goes, but it's time to move on. If he puts things together I have no doubt he can be a solid middle 6 forward, but I think there's a slim chance he does and it certainly won't be with the Devils. A real shame, so much raw talent and seems like a good guy

 

[tmg]

I feel like Zacha is the type of player who will catch fire once he’s in the right situation and with the right coach. The sort of player Florida kept on turning on after other teams gave up on (Verhaege, Bennett, Marchment)

 

[Forge]

Labanc for Zacha

The devils have enough labanc types and I wouldn't want to add almost 5 million for two more years for another one.

I'd just as soon not qualify him or qualify him and let him walk after the year

I mean they don’t have enough Labanc types or you just don’t know what kind of player Labanc is. This past season is not what Labanc normally is. Between injury, usage, and covid he got f***ed over this season. He’s a bit overpriced (he’s closer to worth around 3.5-4M) but he’d look good next to Hischier or Hughes and let Mercer slide into that 3C spot.

I'll pass.

That's fair.

Hab fans have some interest and he on a line with Dvorak might be a decent shutdown line... decent as it can be for a team that finishes out of the playoffs and some distance from there, too.

Zacha’s been really bad defensively at 5v5. He was better this year now that he was basically a full time wing so maybe he’s just more useful defensively on the wing but I wouldn’t trust him on a shit down line as of now

 

[Gecklund]

I'll pass.

That’s fine. Good luck then!

 

[LeapOnOver]

Zacha for Beauvillier swap?

Got a lot of those in Jersey?

No interest in Beau. If we're moving him for a player I want Puljujarvi or someone cheaper than Beau

 

[LeedsMonster]

Zacha for Colton. John Cooper could do wonders for Pav

I think he'd really help out those shit down lines though!

 

[Forge]

I don't think it'll involve a forward coming back. Devils have a lot of short term middle and bottom six forward bloat

 

[Deen]

why would Calgary do that? Already trying to dump that Coleman contract?

I love Blake

If Johnny goes we are going to want younger guys.

 

[Puckclektr]

Seems like he's been flinging shit at the wall for weeks.

Don’t you mean Weekes?

 

[Ruutu Tootoo]

Wow NJ fans are pretty unified in their opinion on Zacha. Don't think id ever see that in Edmonton.

He’s also known to us as Lou’s parting gift when he left the Devils in 2015.

Damn... parting gifts are never good... Koskinen was Chia's...

 

[Langdon Alger]

Nice day in New Jersey and then blah, blah, blah Zacha...

He said something to the extent of teams were looking at Jake Allen and there wasn't really much to it.

I still don’t understand what he did wrong.

 

[Billdo]

Zacha for Colton. John Cooper could do wonders for Pav

Sign me up

 

[VancouverJagger]

What's Zacha's QO? I wouldn't mind giving him a shot in Van - althou we never target Czechs so prolly not. Poolparty i wouldn't mind either but he's too rich for us.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Sounds like Crosby next RW

you should fully believe in this. he has his 100 point season still in front of him. maybe with your team

no wonder something like 25+ teams are interested in zacha

this will raise the cost to acquire him. your offer starts with a 23 1st and add add add add to it

on the other hand your solid 3rd pairing rhd might do it as well.

 

[Bcap88]

Man NJ has soured on this kid. Can he be that bad?

Someone throw up a scoring report, be honest!

Inconsistent will look like a top 6 forward and engaged then just randomly fall off a cliff and be a loaf who can’t handle a puck

Wow NJ fans are pretty unified in their opinion on Zacha. Don't think id ever see that in Edmonton.

He gets a quarterly debate in the team threads since he’s been here lol

Couldn't have ever soured on him if you never liked him to begin with. Said from the day he was drafted he wouldn't pan out to be worth the draft position.

Why in god's name would Tampa do this?

 

[MasterofGrond]

Hated that zacha pick at the time and have been proven right every day since
