I don’t see how this is a home run.
But to be fair, this is coming from a guy who thinks Tkachuk will rebound and doesn’t want to see Zary traded.

Because we get Jack Eichel, 24 year old 0.94 career PPG centre, under contract for 5 more years.
We also get to play him with the most talented forward we’ve employed since 12, and we get to keep Lindholm as our 1B C at less than $5M.
Do you see Zary ever being a career .94 PPG centre in the NHL?
Further, do you see this organization trusting Zary to play centre at anything more than a 3rd line level at any point in the next 3 years?
I don’t, and that’s nothing against Zary. He’s a fine prospect and I have no issues with him.
He won’t be the #2C for Team USA behind Matthews in 9 months.
