The Zucker trade is moot, and we have no idea how it would have changed things. It’s not really worth much of a discussion.

I personally do not see anybody under the age of 24 who can compare with Monahan, Gaudreau and Brodie, all of whom were under 24 when Brad took over. Hard to imagine any of the players or prospects we have that are 5 years or less out of their draft year being as good as those three ended up being.
We don’t have to discuss the failed Zucker trade other than to point out that he does not really seem to learn from his mistakes and seems willing to burn 1st rounders to get mediocre hockey players.
