Pending zucker cap hit & term.. Wings might be interested even though we really like Rasmussen improvement this year.. If cap hit is over 4m & more than.2 years left no deal..... Ps.. My gut says MALKIN goes to Washington to play with ovechkin & backstrom may just replace him in.pittsburgh

Detroit passes, Zucker is a waste and Rasmussen isn't available.

You have Malkin and Letang mixed up. Malkin gets $6,000,000 x 3 years and Letang $8,000,000 x 4 years.

And Braden Holtby will have suitors, He's not taking anything less then $2,500,000 x 2-3 years. He's not signing for your low ball offer guarantee you that.

Why would Geno go to Washington? There isn't really a roster spot for him with Backstrom and Kuznetsov on the roster

I think he means if Backstrom is done, Backstrom with his hip injury doesn't know what his future holds.

I agree I wouldn't give up Rasmussen for Zucker based solely on age. They can have Juolevi and Detroit doesn't need any more bottom 6 forwards.

Yup it's a 100% certainty that Yzerman wont qualify Juolevi so he will just become a free agent to sign with any team. Zucker is just a waste Pens would have to majorly add sweeteners for any team to take him on. And we shouldn't be one of them.

I see

Detroit declines

McDonough, Miller, Poolman, Martin for Marino, Heinen, Kapanen, Blueger, Nylander, Blomqvist

New level of lopsided trade suggestions
McDonough, Poolman, Martin don't really add anything, and do not want Poolman contract

Pens counter: Miller for Marino, 3rd

Hållander doesn't do anything for Detroit and Zucker is a pure cap dump. If you replace Hållander with Pettersson and Kapanen then you have a deal.
