Mediocre according to you.
He is not, he is a pretty good player in this league.
I opposed his being acquired as well because he is yet another LS/LW which this club was (and is) full up of, but fully understood he was an above average NHL goal scorer.

That is fair in that time frame he has averaged 25 goals for every 82 games played. He was also 139th in total points during that period and is tied for 183rd over the past 2 years in points in the NHL (albeit being a bit more of a sniper over the past 2 years tied for 109th in goals scored)
Pretty sure my original point was that Zucker is a 40 point man, but nonetheless I still think trading a first rounder for the 92nd highest paid forward in tbe league who in recent history has performed at around the level of the 150th best forward from a point production perspective is a perplexing move. But I will concede that a player that you can expect to be amongst the average teams top 4 goal scores and their top 6 point producers may be slightly better than mediocre.
