Yeah he probably wouldn’t bring back enough to make it worth it. Might as well hang onto him and hope he enventually lives up to his potential.

If you raised your hand, you officially are required to shut the fvck up about trading Zacha. Not just talking about people in this thread. It’s everywhere. He’s 20 and he’s not playing with a ton of confidence and half of this forum is ready to ship him off for pennies. I’m absolutely not saying that. But on the theory that we need D, and you get back what you give, he’d be a good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trade 1st pairing, 24 year old Adam Larsson: you get Taylor Hall. I’m not saying Zacha will ever be a 1st line player with absolute certainty. I am saying that trading him while his value is at an all-time low isn’t worth the risk. I get the sense that Zacha is the kind of player that a handful of GMs still really like. He’s obviously not the type of player that you could trade straight up for someone who’s really good (like Seth Jones/Johansen) but he could be a significant piece for a very good player. Whatever the case, Shero is obviously not going to give him away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Zacha is doing some positive things. He made a good play to get the puck to Wood for his second goal in Chicago for example. This is a young team with low expectations. Its a perfect situation for him to play and learn and gain confidence. I don't like the idea of selling off on a 20 year old with low trade value. A player can develop a lot in their early 20s. Letting him grow is a risk worth taking. He isn't getting you a guaranteed commodity at defense because he himself is not yet a guaranteed commodity. Edit. Basically what martyisthebest said but with more words. Edited November 14, 2017 by Devil Dan 56 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a young D with similar potential can be had for Zacha+, you have to do it in my mind, no? Tyson Barrie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Tyson Barrie? Tyson Barrie would cost a lot more than Zacha.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
