Pens played like sh!t. After 3 days off that's disappointing. Hart made some big saves, but I thought Philly beat us to the puck most of the night.

I do not like Zucker at RW.

I do not like Zucker at all.

It would be really nice if he could find his game. But he was worse tonight on RW. Honestly they need to put Canner back at C and Carter at RW until Geno gets back.

Yeah I think I’m over him. I don’t get why. Theoretically he’s a good fit for this team but he can’t seem to do poop. I have no clue how this dude was a 20 goal scorer before coming here. He looks like a 12 goal scorer.

Same, for me he needs to do something between now and the end of this season(whenever that ends) or I would try and move him in the off-season. If no takers I'd leave him exposed for Seattle.

Really sucks when the most exciting part of a Pens Flyers game is a stick hand off or a good back check by Zucker. Between the league laming the game up and the Mike Sullivan wussy ass style of hockey the Pens have no rivalry’s anymore. Speaking of Zucker maybe play him with Sid.

He was his best with Sid, but at this point now they aren't gonna break up the first line.

Its night and day how he looked with Sid/looks without him. I'm over him too and could totally see him being traded...or perhaps picked up in expansion?

I completely missed the 1st period, which sounded atrocious, but saw a lot I liked in the 2nd and 3rd. What I didn't like seeing the most was Hart standing on his head.

There's a lot to like for sure. Malkin and Kapanen will give us a big boost offensively. The Flyers were fighting for their life. The Rangers and Boston keep winning. Every game will be a grind for us.

I’d be looking to recoup full cap on him so I like him going in expansion unless a team will take him, give us something of value, and not send back matching cap.

I go back and forth with Zucker. He was killing it when he first got here. 12 points in 15 games. Then he was one of our better players against MTL. He’s not having a great season this year, but 10 points in 25 games isn’t awful, so I think many of us are probably jumping the gun a bit.

That said I think he’s the best candidate along with either Matheson or Petts to be moved in order to address the cap issues next year.

Yeah it'd be nice to get something of value back but he's not doing his own value any favors haha

He’s been bad with everyone besides Sidney Crosby. Since Sullivan refuses to play him with Sid, he doesn’t fit him. I think he’s a good player, but just not here.

Mostly I just want Hex to have the opportunity to build his own team. We’re super capped out and by removing Zucker’s whole cap it’ll give him room to tinker

It's almost like the Perron thing. Zucker is a good player with five 20 goal seasons, one being 30, doing most of his damage at even strength while playing a complete game. Sounds like a great player to round out your top 6.

Hasn't worked well this year. I definitely think people are drawing too much conclusion from a small sample and that we end up buying high and selling low on him.

I'll stop there for now since I don't have time for extended discussion right now and I want to wait until the off-season to discuss what to do this off-season.

I only saw the 1st 2 periods last night, but Carter and McCann looked really good together. Nice showing from Carter in general. Looks like the added depth weapon we needed.

Fully healthy, this team looks pretty solid. But they're only going as far as their best players are capable of taking them.

Curious based on your give him a chance mantra. Do you regularly watch the games?
