DevsMan84 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have a feeling the contract has an out clause to the NHL and this is just for him to get the ball rolling with the Devils. I doubt he will even step foot in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my feeling as well. At least I hope so, I wouldn’t want to miss out on the bag of pucks we could have traded him for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I just learned that in 2014 he was selected #82 overall in the KHL, and then we picked him with the #6 overall in 2015. KHL scouts knew what they were doing better than ours did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I wonder if the holdup is term then cause I can't see it being dollar. Last season was the first real glimpse of what kind of offensive performance he can put up with a guy like Bratt feeding him the puck. It would be a shame to see him leave now.

mfitz804 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 @MB3, I don’t remember the exact terms of our bet (+/- 50 points this season), but I believe if he does not play in the NHL, the bet was a nullify, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could simply be Zacha's camp wants him to be paid like a 6th overall that he was while Shero wants to pay him like a bottom 6 player that he is. That's a total guess but it seems like they have been stuck given how late it is and now with the news of this signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, Zacha’s camp has clearly pitched their tents in Fantasyland. And before anyone else makes a tent pitching joke, allow me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 What a little piece of sh!t. If he seriously bolts for the KHL I want you folks who defend this kid to let me go off without telling me how young he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Also I hereby give @SterioDesign a pass to go off on Lou and Conte for this disastrous pick. Because if he doesn't I will. What a waste of an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 2021 we should definitely be making regular playoff appearances. Especially if we keep Hall and have Laine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0asterleav1ns Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Zacha was picked almost exactly where he was rated by most scouting services. 10 other teams passed on Barzal before the Islanders selected him. I'm really tired of the "draft genius's" harping on this pick as proof that they know more than nhl scouting staffs. It's utter nonsense and confirmation bias. Drafting and scouting players is hard. I'd love to see the people who wanted Barzal admit just how many times they have been wrong about other players.... for every Barzal there's a Patrik Stefan etc. There would be a point this crap if we reached for Zacha, or 10 other teams didnt pass on Barzal. Clearly the scouting services thought there was something to Zacha, and alot of teams thought Barzal had some pretty huge holes in his game. That said, with the time and effort we have put into Zacha... if he really goes to the KHL I hope he stays there and rots. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin cutter Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Zacha is such a drama queen. Hope he never wears a devils jersey again. Kid thinks he’s Gretzky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
