I would rather re-sign Ceci on a cheap deal because he has been playing really well with Matheson and try to trade Pettersson for decent value. Having 5/6 defenseman making +4 million is inefficient. The team will also lose someone to expansion. Who that is, idk, but it will most likely be someone from that fourth line.
Also, if the team actually goes far in the playoffs, I personally believe that Zucker will be a big part of that. For the team to succeed, he needs to be that third star, similar to what Kessel was during the back-to-back, but of course, not to that extent. Rolling three good lines with the fourth similar to the Cullen line from back then that adds energy.
