Initial Creation Date: Apr. 2, 2021

Published: Apr. 2, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Its kinda obvious that were not getting worse any time soon. Crosby, Rust, McCann, Kapanen, Blueger, Guentzel, Letang, Matheson are all having great seasons when everyone thought they were not gonna be like themselves. Look at matheson and what hes doing for us right now, he was a terrible bad contract and as soon as he came here hes been putting on a show. Pens need to upgrade bottom 6 and get a little grit. After that's done this is a Cup Final team. Lines once healthy.

Zucker's OK at 5.5m but can't see any team really interested in him unless they can send equal cap back. Plus his M NTC might exclude a lot of teams with cap....and Vancouver starting next season needs all their available cap spacer

Because people on here think they know more than actual NHL general managers

Canucks decline I have no interest in Zucker if you want Gaudette plus you would have to take cap back to make it work

Huge waste of Zucker. He is far more valuable to this team than that return. You think Sully wants a lazy forward like Virtanen who is struggling over a speedy hard forechecking player like Zucker? Not happening.

What would be Zucker's return/trade from any team of your choice?

I’d rather not move him. He was great last year when he came to pit, started horribly (the whole team did) but looks better since coming back from injury

Nothing, you shouldn't be trading him. He's a 50 point winger with great speed and defensive awareness. He is exactly what Sullivan wants in his system.

because you don't improve the team sending away talented top 6 wingers to bring in bottom 6 guys?
Does that answer the question?
