Fair enough.
I didn’t think Fluery was that highly thought of. I know JK is highly regarded. And has played well. But not a superstar or even a top 6.
Zucker is still a legit top 6. He’s 29 years old. Just signed till 31 years old too.
He wasn’t healthy this season.
Last season when he was healthy, had 10 points in 12 games with the Pens. And a 20 goal season combined with Minny and the Pens. In a shortened season
And he didn’t get time this season to build chemistry with any Pens line..he wasn’t healthy..It happens.
And it’s not like he’s injury prone and that’s a concern. He’s played 5 full seasons before last season. No major injures. Barely any missed games. From 23 years old.
He still a talented goal scorer and playmaker. He’s fast, good shot, pesky defensively.
And he still had 18 points(9 goals) in 38 games this season. That’s still .5 PPG; while not being fully healthy and he didn’t even get hot and bring his stat averages up to normal career averages.
And Canadians need a top 6 wing
