It would be better to trade Zucker with 50% retention than buy him out. Not that they are going to do either.

He has a M-NTC so that makes it a little harder to deal him. I’m all for trading him but the return would suck

Not as much as people like to think. His is a 10 team NTC, that means that there are still 20 teams that he can be traded to without clause related issue. A full NTC would be an issue. Something like Kessel's which was basically a 27 team NTC (only 3 options) is an issue. Ability to do 20, not really a problem. Also, even if a team is on the 10 team list, the player could still waive (maybe there is only 7 that he really doesn't want).

While I do not think that Sullivan wants Zucker moved at all...

Zucker @2.25M for (one of 20 teams) for FCs... Many many teams would jump at Zucker at $2.25M.
