Rust can get that package by himself imo

Wasn't Zucker left unprotected?? Now Seattle has to pay for him???

Picks can be flipped but Zucker will be playing top six in SEA and him and McCann had chemistry last year.

The idea is definitely there. Rust is clearly the best player in this bunch. Chicago seems ready to compete now and add a sick top 6 RW. From the Pens POV, they want to get younger and might not be prepared to commit long-term to a guy who will be 30 by the end of the season. Bringing in Strome and Nylander, two young forwards, could be super beneficial. The trade might need to be modified a bit, but I think it has legs.

Maybe we go after Rust at the TDL and PIT is out of it, but CHI extending new players for next season is out of the question, we have to save money on resigning our current players. Not to mention that Evan and Bjork dont move the needle at all.
