ZAR won't be thrown in as a 3rd line center. If Brassard is traded there will be a 3rd line center coming back or acquired in a corresponding deal. I Think ZAR fits right in as a wing and can move throughout the lineup.
Simon gets a lil tricky. He does have good chem with Sid at times and Sid does like having him on the wing but he is streaky and lacks finish. Rust is a much better fit because of his speed, defensive awareness, and that lil extra physicality that he brings that Simon doesn't. But Simon could add a little spark to a 4th line and would probably work well with Cullen.
Having both with some versatility while they are young and cheap cap hit is a good situation for the Pens. I think ZAR proably has the higher ceiling of the two.
