I doubt we can get Pesce for just Zucker, he's on a steal of a contract for 5 more years and is a pretty solid RD. I think we could get Faulk + if Carolina wanted him, though... Might be a better idea to just let Zaitsev play with Brodin (he's really a decent 2nd pairing defenseman when his partner isn't basically a 4th forward) and move Zucker for picks/prospects. Otherwise maybe move him to Calgary and pry one of their LD prospects from them.

Edit: also I grow more and more puzzled by the day about why Fenton didn't move Staal to Boston for a 1st and a player. Ideally you put Nylander at center and have Eriksson Ek at center as well, but now with this trade one of them will be forced to the wing. I'd probably go Nylander at center since he seems to play really well there, plus his ceiling is higher than JEE's

I dont think leafs do that deal
