[LOGiK]

I'm bored.

Time for a poll.

It's 75% going to be ZAR and 25% Zucker IMO

 

[Andy99]

I love the Pontus Aberg vote…outside of best name on the list, I can’t imagine a reason anyone would select him on a list…

 

[Gurglesons]

I think it may be Petts given the lack of established defensemen.

I think he has the look of a Ron Francis defenseman too. I dunno.

You could be right but I think ZAR is an analytics front office dream.

I still think ZAR is the safest bet

ZAR, Tanev or Petts seem like the players they’ll go for. Either way McCann being unprotected by Leafs makes that trade look a hell of a lot better. And if we lose any of the three above we had a pretty good ED.

 

[EightyOne]

Id pick tanev just to help build a personality the fans could get behind

 

[ziggyjoe212]

I think it will be Zucker, but I'm hoping for Pettersson. Awful contract for a 3rd pairing Dman.

Said the same thing last night.

Lots of good options in the top nine for Seattle. Not many on defense. And they can put a fourth line together with the handful of teams that don't offer much.

 

[dogthateats]

I think it will be DeSmith or ZAR.

 

[Jobeycool]

Voted for ZAR but if they have the cap space and are allowed to trade Tanev to a team that has enough cap space and clearly can make a run for a Stanley Cup then it will be Tanev. Don't know how the rules work ..sorry..

 

[Pens x]

I don’t see why Seattle would pick a fourth line, likely overpaid player. Pens’ fans are delusional when it comes to our hardworking, skill-less fourth line. ZAR scored 1 goal over his last 20+ regular season games. Dude vanished offensively. Guys like that are a dime a dozen, and likely are half the price.

Hell, grab Tanev and retain some salary and flip him at the deadline or do the same with Zucker. Ronny will never get a call about ZAR.

 

[Sideline]

If I were them my order of preference would be Tanev, ZAR, Pettersson, and then Zucker. Tanev is better than ZAR and the other two cost too much.

 

[SEALBound]

My objective gut says ZAR. My subjective, biased heart wants to say Zucker.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I'd prefer Pettersson, but I suspect it'll be ZAR too.

 

[metalan2]

Pontus Aberg.

Yeah, I have to agree. I think people are way too heavy on public analytics to think ZAR would be their go to with Zucker and even Pettersson available. The only reason it makes sense is if they are hitting high cap stuff on other teams.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Zucker most likely. Petts the second choice. Don’t see ZAR even getting a second look.

 

[wheelz87]

Between Tanev and Zucker.

 

[Captain Hook]

I'll guess Zar but it's hard to tell. Hopefully it's Zucker or Pettersson (for cap relief purposes). Tanev is the only guy I really don't want to lose but there's a real chance he could be the pick too.

 

[Dink N Flicka]

Its between Zucker and Tanev and they will pick based on who they think will best play RW.

 

[Rakell67]

I’m going with Pedan.

 

[madinsomniac]

I voted angelo because I figured nobody else would lol
