Wow. Just don't see this happening at all. just the thought is crazy right now. BUT

Lou maybe also thinking of future star centers Josefson and Henrique that will be playing for the Devils possibly this or next season. Zajac if the trade was right could be dealt somewhere like maybe Toronto for Kaberle even though I just don't see Zajac being dealt. You just never know though with Lou these days.

The N stays.

[Jerrydevil]

When you trade a player like Zajac, you ideally want NHL players in return, not draft picks, and we can't afford the salaries NHL players make. This rumor makes zero sense. I'd much rather waive Zubrus and Salvador, getting nothing in return, than trade Zajac for picks. That's a no-brainer.

I'd let Sal and Zubs walk wayyyyyyyyy before I let Zajac walk. I can't see this happening, but with Lou you just never know.

Zajac for Kaberle would be a horrible deal.

So basically we would be trading one of the best young centers in the league for a aging over paid defenseman. Not a good idea.

if we trade Zajac we might as well give up on the future and let Parise walk, which should be ok because we have the all mighty Kovalchuk.

In fairness to (N)Єverson (...did I really just say that?), he HAS had a pretty good track record this summer.

Still don't actually see it happening, of course. I'd be hard pressed to name our top 4 centers right now with Zajac on the roser, let alone with him gone.

You ever heard the phrase "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then?"


(N)Єverson is a deaf, dumb, and blind squirrel that got lucky as sh!t this summer.

This from Spector's Hockey:

SPECTOR'S NOTE: Zajac would be considerably more attractive to rival teams than Zubrus and Salvador but I doubt Devils management intend to move him. If GM Lou Lamoriello is unable to move significant salary via trade he'll probably go the demotion route. It wouldn't be the first time he's done that (hello there, Dan McGillis).

[Random Poster]

considering zajac is probably a better player than kovalchuk, it wouldn't make a damn bit of sense.

See, you can show a sense of humor when you want to.

[oofrostonoo]

Zajac, Rolston, & Corrente to Toronto for Kaberle and 3rd.

[DevilNurn]

Haha...(N)Єverson...yes, Arnott seems like a great idea to keep on as #1 Center for years to come...

[msweet]

Zajac, Rolston, & Corrente to Toronto for Kaberle and 3rd.

And our centers will be?

Arnott, Elias and Zubrus..and oh yeah, Pelley

That team would be worse than last year even with Kovy

[DevsFan7545]

Never gonna happen, atleast i hope not

[RizzMB30]

A possibilty, but you guys know more about these news & blogs guys than I do, and I'm seeing that (N)Єverson is not a good source. You never know, but it wouldnt make much sense seeing that we JUST signed zajac to a new deal.

[Neb00rs]

zajac could be dealt sometime in the future, but i think HOI means that zajac is not going to be traded this off-season to make room for kovalchuk. considering zajac is probably a better player than kovalchuk, it wouldn't make a damn bit of sense.

Triumph I swear, there is not a koolaid pitcher big enough to respond to that

[overtime98]

Zajac, Rolston, & Corrente to Toronto for Kaberle and 3rd.

Exactly.

[MantaRay]

hahahahaha. If Zajac is traded, I'll root for the Rangers.

This is exact reason I didn't want Kovlachoke in the first place. First it rumored to be Langenbrunner, then Elias now Zajac????

[capo]

Why not just waive White?

[Daniel]

Notice he never said he has a source. Only that "rumors" are out there. The only remotely plausible reason that Zajac would be on the block would be instructions from VBK to get Kovalchuk signed at all costs except Parise.
