Confirmed Trade: [MIN/PIT] Jason Zucker for 2021 1st round pick, Alex Galchenyuk, and Calen Addison

[izzy]

really good return and a great pickup for pittsburgh that fits well with their core for the next 3.5 years

 

[AKL]

Wasn't Kreider the only guy that was gonna get a 1st?

To be fair, Zucker isn't a rental. That quote was about rentals.

 

[sansabri]

looks like the TDL has started

 

[Liferleafer]

Zucker is not a rental.

Ah yes, thanks. Good haul for Minny.

3.5 years of zucker is different than a rental

 

[Gurglesons]

Holy cow what's a great return for Minnesota. Congrats to Wild fans.

This is pretty much what I expected the trade to be, although I expected it to be Hallander instead of Addison.

Pretty huge haul for Zucker.

 

[lauraP]

whatta haul !

 

[OnTheBrink]

Nice haul for Wild, Zucker will fit in well with Malkin or Sid though.

Yup, have already been corrected.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Huge haul. Good for Minnesota

 

[Canadian Game]

For Pittsburgh’s sake and the price they paid, I hope Minnesota is retaining some of Zucker’s salary.

 

[CK17]

I like the move for Pittsburgh. Go all-in for Crosby/Malkin's last productive years. Zucker for 3 years plus this years run at good cap hit.

 

[izzy]

i think trading addison could be a huge regret though

 

[MapleLeafs9]

That's A LOT to give up for Zucker holy moly

 

[Bazeek]

Wow.

We all figured he'd be traded and it seemed like it'd probably be Pittsburgh... but I wasn't expecting that much to be coming back.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Penguins taken to the cleaners. You hate to see it.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Great trade for Minny!
Can’t blame Pitts though for loading up for another run with Crosby and Malkin. Got to go all in this year even if it’s a really high price.

 

[JT Kreider]

Addison???? Wtf did JR just do

 

[gilfaizon]

Good for Minny

Penguins taken to the cleaners. You hate to see it.

no

 

[Tkachuky]

Great trade for Wild imo. I think Zucker will do better in Pitts but still, great return for him.

overall a good hockey trade.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

MIN got a haul, but I understand Pittsburgh wants to maximize the Geno - Sid window and Guentzel's injury probably pushed it.

 

[xECK29x]

Minnesota big winners here

Addison is a terrific prospect

 

[Vitto79]

Addison good? If so nice haul

Maybe Galchenyuk finds a home and resigns?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Is Zucker that good or has Galchenyuk's stock fallen that low?

Galchenyuk sucks. But Zucker is good.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Zucker's really good, but I do think the Penguins probably overpaid for him.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Imagine what this trade would have been if Fenton was still in charge?

Zucker for Gally + 3rd.
