Well, since they can't magically make Zucker disappear, no they can't afford it

Your telling me you couldn't send Zucker, who is still pretty good, to like BUF for a pick?

How many $5 million wingers do we need? If they could've gotten assets for Zucker they would've by now so theres no reason to dump him to bring in a similar player just because he grew up here.

Not too sure about that. Is will butcher and a 5th gets you out of his deal, Zucker for like a 4th/5th should be fine. BUF could easily retain 50% and flip to someone like TOR/COL for a 2nd and prospect.

You clearly haven't been paying attention. Cap dumps are costing people to unload. No thank you

LW is the least of the Penguins' problems right now, along with being strapped at the moment.

Im pretty sure about that. No one wants Zucker, he would cost you. And no thank for retaining 50% of zucker for two years. It will cost you a 2nd plus to unload him anywhere.

…Saad and Zucker are pretty similar players honestly. Both score at about the same rate and play north south game.
Not that much of an upgrade. I’d rather bet on Zucker just being a bit better and it’s about the same
