That Wings trade is way off. Petry for Pens is a cap dump. In your scenario Pens are up against the cap and need to move Petry out to do so, so why would Wings give up a 2nd and Rasmussen to help Pens out? Answer they would not.
2nd Wi gs do not need any more LH shooting Defensemen, so again this makes zero sense. They already have Evidason, Johansson and Wallender who was voted European rookie Defenseman of the Year, all who shoot left and play the left side. Why in God's earth are they trading another older LH shooting defenseman?
As far as the 4th for Zucker, not a Steve kind of move. He is not trading picks for players unless they have term or he is sure to be able to sign and both of these are not certain with Zucker.
So good luck but these both are no's.
