Don't worry, Zach is not going to Minnesota in this trade, I can promise you that.


Should be an upgrade over our defense. He has struggled this year but he is a pretty good point producer.

Idk about this. We better not give up anyone important. This team is coming together now. And no trade before the deadlines ever propelled a team to the cup.

Mogilny at the deadline to New Jersey sure helped in 2000.

Ray Bourque to Colorado in 2001 was important too.

For the most part your right, the deadline is over rated, but there are some exceptions.

didnt pittsburgh get Hossa and they made it to the SCF but lost

[Thumper 88]

Teams may have gotten a good player before the deadline but that one player never propelled them to the cup.

I just hope we dont mess things up right now because this team is coming together.

This is a tuff one to do and I'm more worried we are going to give up too much for him when are system is rolling like it did last year around this time we got the pieces in place let's be careful in what we do and if we do trade for him hope he fits right in and we keep rolling

Not feeling this possible signing at all! Reminds me of the Havelid signign a while back, we were rolling and then we trading for a vet D-man that was having a so-so year just to add stability to the backline, instead havelid brought nothing ane we lost a shocking first round to the Hurricanes. Zidlicky was good... WAS is teh key word... as is GOOD, not great by any means, we need a guy who has big blue-line blast ability, enter Matt Taormina, i like this kid last year and this year even better. Him as well as Fayne have rocket shots and aren't afriad to let it launch, they also play responsible d, i say we roll with them...

[Thumper 88]

Yes I agree, we dont need anyone.

[mattlogan23]

what would we have to give up to get zidlicky? we have some good d-men in the minors ( merrill, urbom gelinas, burlon etc.. )that i would rather have on our team for the future then use them to acquire zidlicky who is on pace for his lowest point total since he played for Kladno in the CZE league

Just announced during the game.
Zidlicky for Kurtis Foster, Nick Palimeri

[Thumper 88]

I dont know if thats good or bad

[NASCAR Diva#3]

also Stephane Veilleux, 2nd rd pick in '12, conditional pick in '13

Are you kidding me? we literally gave up nothing. We traded a defenseman who can't play defense, a minor league forward who has scored like 2 NHL goals, and a guy in veilleux who has played in like 2 career games and a 2nd round pick we got from washington for an solid defenseman that we needed. now we can send harrold down and when larsson comes back we'll we good. now we just need a forward to get janssen and boulton off the ice...were rumored to be going for dustin brown. this would be big.

[mattlogan23]

This is a good deal in regards to what we gave up, and we still have another 2nd round pick that we can trade away, My only question is; Will Matias Tedneby crack the NHL or is going to be a part time player and we should just package him for a player say Dustin Brown? or what about a goalie if Brodeur does retire? what options do we have Cermont isn't ready and I think Kinkaid is a bust and Frazee wont amount to anything at the big league level... Wedgewood could be the goalie of the future but he needs time to mature in the AHL, as much as I would like him to come in and play at say the same level as Fleury when he was drafted I dont see it happening. any other options that wont send us to the bottom of the cellar?
