Zary isn't a 4th liner.

It's not a Zary vs Klapka comparison straight up. AAV and trade value factor in. Other players in our top 6 factor in.

Klapka might have 0 trade value
Zary probably could land us a late 1st or be used in a trade to upgrade our top 6.

When I look at PP1, Huberdeau and Kadri will be on it with Parekh. Coronato needs to be on it. Sharangovich brings a weapon to the table that Zary does not. Our pp needs a net front presence too. Not sure Zary displaces anyone right now and at some point, current prospects and future draft picks will need a shot as well. Zary is not a difference maker IMO and if there is trade value there, I trade him trusting my scouts to replace him
If Zary can bring a clear upgrade to the top six center position as part of a package then sure I’d be fine if they trade him but I’d keep him over Sharangovich who is a black hole when he isn’t producing. Flames have too much depth players between Frost, Farabee, Sharangovich, and Coleman. I’d rather they flip out the older players.

I don’t really see the point of trading Zary for a late 1st. You are lucky to get a Zary there.
