<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmmyg</b></div><div>I am not so sure it would be utter robbery, don't forget Zucker is under contract at a comfortable cap hit. If he can get/stay healthy, he is well worth Hallander and our 1st. Not so sure Minnesota would pick Hallander out of the bunch, though. Guerin knows our prospects as good as anyone and is probably asking for Addison which is why the deal has never come to fruition. GMJR doesn't strike me as a guy would nix a deal over worrying about next years cap, so I am assuming Billy G is just asking for our prospects which is a bit too rich right now.</div></div>

Zucker is a bit overpaid, other than this year he hasn't had too bad of a injury history so longer term that isn't the bigger worry. No way I would do a first plus hallander without retention on Zucker, which I know the wild would not do. I don't think GMJR is worried about the cap hit, I think the reason Zucker hasn't gone anywhere(penguins or elsewhere) is cause the wild are still somewhat in the race, if they fall out he might get moved but if they stay in it he might not get traded at all.

Wild will not be retaining any salary. If he were overpaid he wouldn't have as much trade interest. So I'm guessing your issue is more about wanting Pens to acquire a player you like better, which is fine we all have our favorites, but just say that. If he hadn't broken his leg this year he was on pace for 60 points this year which puts his actual yearly value close to 6 mil a year so at 5.5 mil he falls into the value category.</div></div>

and other years he has had points in the 40s, so by your math he would have only been worth 4.5million which means he is actually indeed overpaid by a million...

He is in trade talks cause he is a good player, overpaid or not. Albeit overhyped in some circles. let another team overpay and give up a first and high prospect but he is not the level of player that would warrant that level of trade unless salary is retained.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>He is worth a 1st and a high prospect, because he is a good value at his salary. The 3rd in this scenario is probably overkill. Galchenyuk is a salary dump he means nothing to Wild, or most every other team in the league at this point.</div></div>

he is not a good value, he is overpaid, if Minnesota retained a 1.5million I would give up a first and good prospect

The third shouldn't be included and The pens don't even need to dump Galchenyuk because of LTIR they actually have more cap space than usual. So Minnesota doesn't need to take him back in the deal unless they actually want him(which they might if they need a LW to plugin to the lineup, but that wouldn't be considered a dump cause he would have a small value in that scenario)

Sujet: Pittsburgh Penguins signed Marcus Pettersson (5 Years / $4,025,175 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>Not much downside. Compare to Maatta: Pettersson is 2 years younger and already better on both sides of the puck. He signed for 4.94% of the cap while Maatta signed for 5.72% of the cap in 2016.

CGY just signed Rasmus Andersson (also 23 y.o.) long term at 5.58% of the cap. Most people in the hockey universe approved and his contract was approved by more than a 2:1 margin on this site.

Andersson might have the higher ceiling, but I think right now Pettersson is better defensively by a solid margin.

Conclusion: In my opinion, Marcus Pettersson was the best signing of the 3.</div></div>

Maatta was a better player defensively when he got his deal, but comparing this deal to another contract that didn't end up going so well isn't a good sign... although to be fair I think injuries had a big hand in that. Which so far durability is probably the best thing of Pettersson so far. Personally both this deal and the Andersson one weren't very good signings.
