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

[Papa Francouz]

Uh...not at all. He (and his wife) didn't want to go anywhere. They've been very vocal about it.

Am I reading this article incorrectly? Given the quotes here, it sounds like he had moved on from the organization.

Jason Zucker on trade rumors as Wild fall to Avs...

 

[KingsHockey24]

Pittsburgh wins this one.

Zucker and Crosby/Malkin together will be a treat to watch.

Galchenyuk is a bum.

Based on reports from this summer, it seems that by using his NTC to block a trade to Minnesota in exchange for Jason Zucker straight up, Phil Kessel cost the Penguins a first round pick and then some.

Well... maybe Kessel isn't totally useless

 

[Canadian Game]

There's a condition on the 1st...

If Pittsburgh misses 2020 playoffs, they can choose to keep their 2020 1st and trade the 2021 pick instead.

Addison was more or less unarguably Pittsburgh's top prospect right?

No, Poulin's by far their best prospect. Addison was probably #2, although it's debatable between him and Hallander.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Lol galchenyuk is such trash now

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Nice to see this return for Zucker.

Jason Zucker has tallied 29 points 14 goals 15 assists.


Tyler Toffoli has tallied 30 points 14 goals, 16 assists

I notice you didn't include Zucker's games played.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Solid trade for Penguins. They needed one after that horrible return they got for Kessel

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Nice return for the Wild.

I like this deal for both teams. Pittsburgh is looking scary.
I swear I am going to lose my shit of Pittsburgh wins the Cup again with a third goalie.

Unless Galchenyuk is a complete bust now, Pittsburgh seems to have given up a lot.

He is a bust for the pens. He was the throw in to make the trade work. He was playing on th 4th line/healthy scratch when everyone healthy. Addison and the 1st for Zucker is the trade really

 

[Taluss]

Best of luck to Zucky, always saw the higher side of his potential

 

[Bubbles]

Is Galchenyuk officially a bust?

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

 

[Kupo]

Zucker is better, younger and signed for two additional seasons than Kreider.

Zuckers like 8 months younger than Kreider, so there’s not much difference in age. And Zucker is not better than Kreider. The extra term is definitely adding to his value though.

 

[elitepete]

This is a slight overpayment imo.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Slightly overpayment
But Pittsburg won’t care if Zucker help them to another deep run

 

[Flying Dego]

JR gets his man even at a seemingly premium price. He probably wanted Billy G to do well on his end, not trying to ruin his GM career.

Overall both teams should be happy. Zucker should be top notch with our Stars. There's no reason to think either team loses the trade.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Definitely not worried about the condition.

 

[Trap Jesus]

No, Poulin's by far their best prospect. Addison was probably #2, although it's debatable between him and Hallander.

I was just going by The Athletic's recent prospect ranking. They had Addison at 1, Legare 2, Poulin 3 and Hallander 4

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m really confused why Minnie targeted Addison. If that org is deep at anything it is RD. You think they’d try to go after Hallander..

 

[smitty10]

Why did Pittsburgh have to give up so much for Zucker? Has Galchenyuk really fallen off that much?

 

[deaderhead28]

Zucker isn’t a rental though. Signed for like 3 more years I think

Sign and trade my friends,sign and trade.

 

[Leafs87]

Addison and the 1st is a great deal
