My problem is cap space is like gold. If they take him on they then have to retain cap to move him and it cost them money. Most teams will take cap for a price then they flip him for even more. They do not take on cap unless they need the player if it fails they then flip him. Again they will want something to take him or they walk and then Pens have to trad him and even pay some one else. Lastly, I am always saying they do not need him and they can flip him, well if he gets hurt then they can not flip him. All the risk is with Arizona, none with Pittsburgh and no team is going to take in that, becuase that is what gets GM's fired. Yes will they take him, sure for a 5th round pick and they give up a player, no. They could trade Crouse and get picks and then they could take on Zucker for a price and then flip him as you say and get even more.
