The Ducks intend to sign them, doesnt mean they will sign them. I think they only get one.
We will likely have to trade Zajac eventually

He still has to actually sign them. I'm sure Lou intends to sign Zajac, too, but we are already preparing for the worst.

He's in the Parise place. We won't trade him (unless we fall apart this season) since as we saw last year anything can happen in the playoffs. It might be a journey but this team is still good its just surviving the regular season and finding out if we can get the balanced scoring again

Trading Zajac now is dumb. I'm more trade happy than Lou (I advocated like crazy to trade Gomer when it was extremely unpopular to do so... time has made that stance popular today - but I took a lot of sh!t for it then).
You play til the deadline with Zajac... you see his feelings on extending, or if you have a good read that he wants to return, but wants to see his market... Unless you're out of the playoffs, keep him.
If you get the feeling he's walking. Trade him at the deadline when teams will vastly overpay for expiring contracts. Unless the return is a Kovy return... then just roll with it, and hope for a nice cup run...

It's creepy and could be considered stalking at some point.I don't know if this would be more creepy than supportive, but I have Zajac's address in Jersey. Maybe we could send him letters telling him to sign back with jersey before July 1, just maybe he would. But, even if we did not, he would choose wether or not to do so.
Let that thought go.

100% with Jimmy on this. Do not contact a player at home, ever. Its one thing if you run into him on the street.

That knockout was great. It came at a time when Cooke was a danger to every player on the ice too.

Some people think Patrick Elias is perennially stuck in 2006.Some of you guys are talking about Zajac like he's Patrik Elias in his prime. Hell, he's not better than Elias right now.
The wake up call is going to be brutal when the guy's decline becomes sharper this season.

The fan pleading with Zach in the rain to stay after Game 6 of the SCF didn't help...don't bother sending letters to Travis.

And you've been talking about this wake up call since 2008 or 2009? At the end of the day, Elias was top 10 in scoring last season. Will he match that again...I'd say no chance, but again, he was the Devils best player in the disaster that was 2010-2011 and even better last season.
Give the guy his props once in a while before continuing to hammer home the decline of Patrik Elias.
The fan pleading with Zach in the rain to stay after Game 6 of the SCF didn't help...don't bother sending letters to Travis.
If anyone thought a few hundred fans begging him to stay was going to help an athlete make a lifetime decision...well I don't know what to say to that.

On the other hand, Janssen seems like a player who would be fun to ding-dong-ditch.

can you imagine if I wrote a letter to Parise? He'd be like "one Benjamin wants me to stay and 980,000 want me to go." ok...bad joke.If anyone thought a few hundred fans begging him to stay was going to help an athlete make a lifetime decision...well I don't know what to say to that.
