Speculation: Trade and Free Agency - 2024-25

I’d do Zucc for Zib.

Gross.

Quinn is too small for us.

Sadly, we have the 2nd least amount of Cap Space of all teams in the NHL. Any deal would more or less have to be cash out/cash in. With the uptick in Freddy's play he is a bargain contract- don't want to lose that. Marjo, for all the complaints, is fairly paid at 2M. I'd far rather have him than Devin Shore, and Ohgren isn't ready yet. Even then, you'd just save 1.2M at most trading him. You can argue that Hartman is overpaid at 4M, but he's got a NMC, and he provides some sandpaper to the team that it needs. Even a guy like Merrill only makes 1.2M... that's just a hair above replacement cost(Hunt 830K).
The only salary, to me, that is losable is Trennion(3.5M). I see his value at about 2M as a 4th line crash banger. Maybe add in Merrill, and you get almost 4M in cap saved which can be applied to the player coming in - most players of note make more than that, even if BG was willing to admit his mistake and move Trenin.

Gross.

Younger, center, right-shot, not worse > contract situation.

He’s been terrible and his AAV is over double Zucc’s current AAV for 3 more years after this one.

That’s why we’d e getting him for just a 37 year old, and not more.

5 more years.

Obviously New York would retain up to 50% just to get Zuccarello back

Hartman is worth every bit of his 4m , he has infinity more goals than trenin and does everything trenin is supposed to do better

Quinn is too small for us.

He’s listed at 6’1 and 185 and I’m guessing he’s still filling out.

Foligno knocked him off his skates last night and it look like he seen a ghost.
Maybe I'm wrong or buffalo has huge forwards.

Foligno is a big dude and caught Quinn admiring his skates. He would have sent any player flying in the same circumstance and likely deserved a penalty for it as it was well after the play and totally unexpected. I don’t see Quinn as small or outmatched physically but that’s not his game. Hes a high skill top 6 forward. Why do we care if he can grind. Hes a buy low candidate right now and id be on the phone. I couldn’t believe it when I saw his stat line for this year so far and rumors that he might be available.

No I hear you , as hes an upgrade over mojo in the top 6 , just at the right price, dont know what they'd want for Quinn.
We are winning and wouldn't wanna disrupt the chemistry we have or overpay.
