No way the Pens trade that much draft capital for Bertuzzi. And I’m a huge Bertuzzi fan too. But is Bertuzzi a 1st, two 2nds and a 3rd upgrade over Zucker( a 4 prospect upgrade)
I bet the Sabers would jump on that offer for Eichel. Getting a 1st, two 2nds, and a 3rd.
Plus Zucker should have value to a contender at the TD. Even if they have to retain 1M-2M for 1 more season. Zucker at 3.5M or 4.5M for 1 more year looks a lot better than 5.5M.
I bet if retained 2M for next season on Zucker, he would bring back a late 1st to a contender at 3.5M.
