Description

Anaheim needs to get to the floor and they only have 4 D men under contract. Ruhwedel is a solid D man who can help the young team.

Moving out Zucker allows the Pens to bring in 2 cheaper wingers in Stastny and Milano.

I like Stastny can play LW and C. He can fill in for when Geno gets hurt. Milano adds skill to the 3rd line.

Does Ruhwedel and a 3rd provide Anaheim with enough to take Zucker?

i don't understand why a team like anaheim wouldn't be open to zucker, you have no want to win this year, you're going to get a 2nd or a 3rd + depth in this situation oh and that 5.5 milliion is only on the books for 1 year. you're not giving up anything to get this return... idk maybe its just a little pens bias but still zucker is not this unserviceable player. he just gets hurt, if he was making 3.5 mill there wouldn't be this dark cloud of negativity.
