Quoting: Mr_Gardoki
All Canadian teams are on Zucker's NTC
Last year
This year he's yet to submit it
That said he's in a position in PIT where playing him has diminished his value further
He can either be a Matt Beleskey if thats his choice or accept a trade hoping to rebound his career low value.
Personally i think like James Neal his time is up and he's unwilling to adapt to play a lesser role like others for example Milan Lucic.
Each year with PIT his Production and Minutes consistently drop
Apparently no teams on his list last year were interested in him at all
His options might be Waivers or Canada
As if he fails to pass waivers what he wants really no longer matters
Like Beleskey he'll finish his career in the AHL
If he wasnt a Pending UFA i think recooping his lost value matters a lot less
But if he wants to continue to play in the NHL he's gotta do what it takes to raise his extremely low value
Even at a league minimum his play isnt good enough to award a contract
