Just seems like a bad idea to subtract a player playing well for Meier. He's obviously a better player, but how much are you really going to gain by replaced Zucker with Meier? Is the team THAT much better? I still feel like not messing with the top 6 and only improving he bottom 6 is a smarter way to go.

I agree...but this was also upgrading goaltending while also giving the Pens a superior top 6 guy this season and going forward. Also, Zucker has been very injury prone....will he be here for the playoffs, if they make them, or the run to them? rhetorical question, obviously haha.

hahhaa yup, well, Zucks certainly isn't trash this season...but how long until he's trashed?...someone here said the Pens should never accept that trade.

Meier is easily the superior player and in the sense that Meier is signed to an extension it isn't even remotely close in value. Also there is almost 0 benefit to SJ in terms of futures in your proposed deal.

Oh, I agree and that's why I also said "I think the Sharks would probably want more quality futures." haha

NJ proposals have suggested a 1st + Holtz so realistically PIT can't offer a competitive package.
