I'd rather Hayes over Zucc. He's younger, he's big and skilled. He's really close friends with Johnny, plus I heard he's related to Tkachuk. He'd be a great fit on and off the ice, and would probably re sign if Calgary can make room.

Nothing against Zucc, i think he would fit in as well. I just think, for the right price, Hayes would be the better guy to target.

Hayes has more size too. and Younger like you said, so makes more sense since Frolik would probably have to go the other way and youth is what could help aid that move

When Zuuc is playing well, like he is now, I think Zuuc would be better value. Hayes is/was playing great this year, but zuuc can play w/ anyone

Hayes slows the game down, and might not mesh as well

is Hayes that slow (kinda like Neal then)

Neither one is being moved unless it’s a crazy stupid deal!
- Bobd62

Why crazy stupid?! You’re most likely not going to make the playoffs, your team is in “retool” mode, i.e. get young, get prospects, get picks.

Even if you don’t agree, that’s the direction management has chosen. So go from there.

I would prefer Krieder myself. One year left after this one, big guy who skates well, streaky, but good scoring touch.

My point is not everyone can make the adjustment and play the off wing like Zuc has proven.
That's a big assumption that a center can play wing on the off side.

Hayes has never looked great on the wing imo

Dzingel will get more than he should*?

Ryan Dzingel has more goals than Anders Lee, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Bo Horvat, Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson, Jack Eichel, Max Domi.....

Even as a pure rental he'd look amazing in the top 6 on teams like PIT, EDM, CAL, and many others

He's not slow, but he's not a run and gun kind of player. He holds onto the puck at times and uses his strengnth, size and reach to hold off defenders and makes plays from that

Howard to Boston??? What the heck for?!?? No thanks. Use the cap space for a RW. I guess it depends on how long Rask is out.

well the Howard to PIT suggestion fell on deaf ears, so EK is moving to the next team and hoping one of them sticks.

Ek's had Jimmy Howard traded to every team in the NHL now. It took you 4 years Ek but you accomplished it.
