That's an overpay, but not as bad as what the Pens fans are saying. They also said Zucker wouldn't be a worth a 1st+, so you can safely ignore them.
Using Hayes and Stastny as an example, drop the 2nd and make it something like a 4th that's conditional on the Pens winning the Cup and that's probably about right. Maybe downgrade Poulin to a lesser prospect since the Habs could probably flip Bjugstad for a mid-round pick.
It's worth mentioning that it also depends when the trade happens and which teams are still in it because there's a bunch of pending UFA centers teams could go after including Staal, Stepan, Bozak, Bonino, and Anisimov to name a few who could be useful for a team looking for a 3C.
