Team: 2021-22 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 24, 2021

Published: Sep. 24, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Is the risk worth the possible reward? When Sid and Geno come back then Bozak becomes a 3rd line center with Carter on the wing and Laff and Rodrigues become scratches. Yes the blues get a little cap dump but they also get 2 of the Pens best prospects.

I would say that it's not possible, given the current cap situation in St Louis, for them to essentially turn Jason Zucker into a $9 mil player for the next two years.
