Description

*Note that Ellis and Zucker are currently injured but should be healthy by the trade deadline

Zucker is someone the Predators could keep for the next few years or retain cap space and trade to get maximum value out of the asset. Marino is coming off a fantastic rookie season as a shut-down RHD. He's regressed a bit from last year but is a young top four RHD signed long-term, which should be appealing to a team like Nashville.

Penguins are able to protect Ellis, Dumoulin and Letang in the expansion draft. Penguins forward protection list likely would not have included Zucker.

Marino's play has taken a big hit this season, and has a long contract incoming. I'm not saying he won't bounce back, but if Nashville were to trade Ellis right now, they should go for safer options.

NSH accepts that trade in a heartbeat. Pens have no intention to trade a good 23 year old dman

Considering, his regression this year, if they can get a significantly better player for him to play with Malkin and Crosby for the next few years, they should absolutely consider it.

Not a 30 year old who makes over $6 mill for the next handful of years. Marino has 84 games played and people already saying he’s regressing. Doesn’t make sense

In a heartbeat? Not at all.
