Team: 2021-22 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 13, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Trades

PIT

ARI

Björkqvist, Kasper
Zucker, Jason
2023 7th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Need to get Zucker off this team, he's just a waste of space. When healthy, Heinen should be with Carter because of the chemistry they have developed. Zucker hasn't meshed with 87 nor 71 so its time to go.

Pens won't get positive value in a Zucker trade.

We took back Roussels contract-- Crouse and Lybushkin are maybe worth a 3rd at best. ARI can easily flip Zucker at deadline retained

Crouse has more value than Zucker alone. I simply just don't see it. Zucker has been vastly overpaid for 4 years now compared to his salary. Pitt will not get any value in return without sending picks which would be silly for them as their prospect pool is abysmal.

Zucker had more points in 10+ less games than Crouse last year.

Crouse is a 3rd liner but a really good one. He's not relied upon for points, he is a character player and a damn good one. Zuckers point totals for his salary is just pathetic. Sorry but he will cost Pitt a ton to move. Better off just trying to make it work.
