No one is giving up any asset for Zucker.. let alone the Coyotes who would have no use for him on a rebuilding team. If you want to use the Coyotes cap space to get rid of him fine, but you'd have to attached a pick to Zucker and expect nothing in return.

Wings are gonna pass and hold out for their 2nd and if not resign nam

I like, especially Motte

I can’t see the pens being interested in any of this…maybe Namestnikov deal. But the Canucks shouldn’t sell Garland. They just got him. The pens shouldn’t trade their 1st round pick cause they need to start filling the cupboards. The pens are a much better team with Zucker and I’d rather just keep Zuckers contract that ends sooner than take on Garland’s for such a long term. And just the fact I’d rather keep Zucker at this point then get diminished value eliminates the need for Garland. I think the pens will see how Zucker performs after the surgery. We are so quick to want to trade him but he really hasn’t had much of a fair shot here. He had 15 games where he got to play with Crosby and was amazing. When we returned from Covid nobody really got to practice with the team and he still looked solid on Malkin’s line, they just got **** down by a lucky Habs team. The following year Geno came in outta shape and they really didn’t get much offseason team practice again. Then he and Geno dealt with major injuries. This year Geno finally got surgery on that major injury and Zucker had surgery when Geno came back. I just don’t see them trading Zucker til the offseason. As much fun as it is to trade him in season. Only contenders will pay much for him and it will likely be that the pens will have to take problem contract back for him, where as in the offseason, they can probably avoid taking back a problem contract.

I don't think that's close at all for Van. Even for Garland alone I'm not sure if I'd do that.

I think you already know why I'll say it won't work lol, but if Hextall would actually move a first? Yeah, I'd do it.

I don't think AZ or DET would though.

Interesting idea. Not sure penguins would give up that much.. if they did..I definitely think a deal could be made

Yzerman wants a 2nd round pick for Names, Your 2024 3rd is still 3 drafts out noway Yzerman accepts a pick still 3 drafts out. Detroit passes you don't have a 2nd round pick so not happening.

I definitely like these moves. Makes Malkin's line a lot better and adds some defensive depth.
