Caps say yes. You're about to have a lot of MTL fans freak out though ha

lol yeah... yeah 30oa pick and KK (imo is a mini Eller).im not very high on him. i think hell be a really good 3c

That's a most definite NO from the Pens. They are most likely going to expose Zucker, but that is because they need the cap space. Bringing in Drouin, who isn't as good as Zucker, while costing the same as Zucker, but having more years on his contract, is just dumb cap management.

interesting take...who is better over the last 3 seasons? player A or B

PlayerA
152gp 27g 64a 91p .6 ppg or 49p/82gp
51.93cf% 51.01ff% 48.37xgf%
52.19cf% 50.73fr% 52.62xgf%
53.98cf% 53.05ff% 51.70xgf%

player B
179gp 50g 51a 101p .56pp or 46p/82gp
53.04cf% 53.24ff% 55.92xgf%
47.49cf% 46.81ff% 49.94xgf%
51.42cf% 51.29ff% 45.93xgf%

you think one is better than the other?

Zucker is player B....

Zucker is coming off of a down year...but whether its a personal reason or not, one of these 2 played in the playoffs for their team and the other didn't. Regardless of whether Drouin's 3 year averages are better or not, how does trading Zucker for Drouin help the Pens in any way whatsoever?

Drouin fit with the Penguins speed game better and mental health is pretty serious. I don't know the extent of it but i wouldnt dismiss it either. Kappy looked great bc his game fits the same model

Not going to disagree. The problem with Zucker in Pitt has been that he seems to fit a lot better beside Crosby or even McCann, yet Sully always wants him with Geno. Since chemistry is such a crucial element to the Pens game, sending out someone that doesn't fit is a great idea, but not when you are bringing in an unknown that costs just as much for more years.

imo Penguins can make a fast player really good bc of their great transition game. Drouin would be a HUGE steal imo. i also think he's a solid playoffs guy 21p in 33gp
