I mean, I don't think Zucker is that good. He might be a fit, but I don't think he's a jewel in a crown type acquisition. Agree about being removed from a 30 goal season, but again, huge salary liability for a guy looking to clear 30 POINTS this year. He was shooting 15% last year, maybe he does that in Calgary, but that's a tough sell for me.
I would definitely deal Zucker for Neal straight up, or Zucker for Neal and something relatively significant, but I agree, Frolik + 1st or + Kylington or both...I just don't see how Zucker specifically is the target or anything more than making salaries work for the more significant assets changing hands.
Brodie for Brodin? Save a little cap, add an extra year to Brodie's deal?
It would have to be something like that in my mind to justify kylington/1st talk that we seem to be zeroing in on here.
