Thread: pettersson and zucker

If you’re signing Kahun to that contract, he better be playing with Geno. Or at least top 9. But there is really no reason to bring in Kahun, Dvorak, and Debrusk. I think at least Poulin will get a good look this year and so will Zohorna.

Thread: Zucker and bottom six depth

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>i've never been huge into zucker. When he was in minny i didn't even notice him and we played them like 6 times a year. And he didn't seem that productive playing with better centers in pitts so i donno if it's worth it. The cap hit is nice though i'd rather have him at 3.5 than compher</div></div>

I think he’d do the best with Mackinnon in colorado cause he meshed so well with Crosby. If Sully would stop being stubborn and put Zucker with Crosby where he is best and put Guentzel with Malkin where he is best then Zucker doesn’t look as bad. Zucker pretty much sucked at the beginning of the year because Malkin came in out of shape and brought everybody on his lines down. It wasn’t until Kapanen finally got in that Malkin finally was in game shape. But by then Zucker went down, and then Malkin had gone down by the time Zucker came back. But I think he’d do ok with Kadri. And it’s not like Zucker didn’t generate offense. He was snake bitten last year too until closer to the end of the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>But why trade a good young top 4 LHD? They don't grow on trees.</div></div>

Because we have Dumoulin and Matheson too. Then POJ who is ready to take a spot. When you have 5 nhl calibre lhd, then you need to trade one lol. So it makes sense to trade from a position of strength to upgrade a position of weakness. It’s double good when you can even get cap space too.

Well isn’t the idea to trade value to get value in return??? I mean I’m sure the pens would much rather trade a legit cap dump for value. But that’s not really how it works.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nathanallan</b></div><div>why would boston trade bad contract for bad contract they decline.</div></div>

Well they aren’t. Pettersson doesn’t have a bad contract. He is a young top 4 d and the going rate for that is over 4 million in cap. So he actually has a decent contract. And being that he is signed through most of his prime and has yet to hit his prime yet means he’s likely to improve and that contract could become a steal.

Thread: Another Stab at Eichel

Pens decline that trade so fast. Lucic is a massive cap dump with negative value and zero redeeming value. Pettersson is a top 4 LHD on a decent contract. Would need to add at least an unprotected 1st round 2022 pick going Pittsburgh’s way to even remotely consider this trade.

I didn’t say you got the value wrong. The reason why the pens wouldn’t do it is because the pens aren’t rebuilding yet. The pens aren’t going to just start randomly rebuilding while crosby, Malkin, and Letang are still here.

Weird…I can’t find that anywhere. Especially since they are already short on RHD as it is. I think someone just made that up. The only dmen that are rumored to be traded for cap space is one of Pettersson/Matheson, and then Zucker as a forward to trade for cap space.

Pens decline. If they were rebuilding, then I could see them trading Marino for a package of picks/prospects but not now

Yeah, you still can’t sign 3 players at league minimum. And that’s if they do find a competent backup that’s willing to take league minimum. I doubt they will.

I don’t think the pens actually want him. I’m sure it’s just some putz spitballing because he hits a lot and just running through names for click bait lol

Thread: So Tampa is out of cap hell eh Wow

Not really. I mean ideally they’d want at least 1 extra F and 1 extra D. Preferably 3 extra skaters to have max players on the club. But I’m sure a big contract will get a mysterious injury and be out for the season and then they’ll sign Blake Coleman to like a 4 million dollar deal and do a 3 peat

I can’t imagine 7 million is easier to move than 4 million and 5.5 million 🤷‍♂️. And how do you know what GMRH has been doing? Are you stalking him in his office. Literally no real trade rumors involving those 2 players outside of fans that need whipping boys wanting to trade them because they don’t actually watch and understand hockey lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brgh4life</b></div><div>No, the best return for Vegas was clearing 7 mill and not taking on any new contracts.

Again, the pens could have just made the trade with vegas and acquired fleury if the pens were going to pay that much. The pens could have traded Pettersson and Zucker and used that compensation to pay for fleury.

No way should the pens do that. They’d have just done the trade with vegas if that’s what fleury would fetch.

Why all these massive returns for fleury? And don’t you think vegas would have traded him to pitt instead if they could have fetched that much for him?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Yet Detroit doesn't get anything of value, a fourth liner and an overpaid 3rd pairing dman.

No you get a top 4 d on a solid contract, a 3rd, one of the best defensive forwards in the league and all you give up that really has any sort of value is a bottom 6 player.
Red wings fans are the worst at over valuing their players and undervaluing others. And that’s pretty sad considering Leafs and Oilers fans exist.
