Re-Do - Pens Add Younger Legs to Our Way Too Old Forward Group

Anaheim does not accept

Maybe take Comtois out and we can talk

Zucker isn’t a positive value asset and would take a 1st for the Ducks to take on

Ducks decline the above trade on that basis alone

Hallander and Nylander are both non-impact pieces at this point

A second isn’t enough to take Zucker let alone getting Comtois.

John Moore’s contract doesn’t hinder the Ducks at all so there isn’t really a need to move him, plus he provides us some veteran depth on the blue line which we may need

Hunter Drew is probably a 4th liner at best so is inclusion isn’t that impactful

hallander and Nylander would both be nhl regulars with this Ana roster.... but other then that I agree ducks reject that trade

We'll take our chances that Comtois recovers his previous form. His ceiling is higher than that of any of the other players in this deal. As my friend @Salzy says, Moore isn't a burden.

The idea that we would want an expensive veteran rental like Zucker is, to put it charitably, wishful thinking.


Hallander wouldn't play ahead of Zegras, Strome (if he plays at C), McTavish, Henrique or Lundestrom. Nylander wouldn't play ahead of Terry, Strome (if he plays at RW) or Vatrano and is pretty much a bust now that he's on his fourth team.

Where exactly do you think they would fit in?
