Rumor: Penguins interested in Zucker

[Mick Riddleton]

Coyle and him are good buddies, he could sway him to come to the Bruins.

Could lead to jealousy issues.


Not that Zucker has much say in it, but I'd put cash money on Boston not being on his list. Would they give up a 1st and (say) Frederic for him?

Galchenyuk is a risk the Wild can afford to take this year and cut bait on next if they want. Seems like a decent enough option who would have way more chance to shine there ala Eric Staal in NYR versus MIN.

I know he does not have much say but he can inform his agent that the Bruins would be a destination to explore. Frederic is turning into a fighting power forward in the AHL this year, guy protects his team mates without hesitation. Not sure the Bruins want to part with him because of that. Trent and Studnicka are seen to be the next wave of centers for them. Vaakaninen or Zboril could be in play with how Lauzon has played. Who knows but Zucker's name has come up a few times on the board. Can he play RW at all?

Dark horse in all this is Krejci could be had if someone is interested, moving Coyle to the 2nd line pivot. Gonna be an interesting trade deadline for sure.

PS - I really like the avatar from the 7 Samurai with the hockey stick.

Is Pittsburgh really going to choose Murray over Jarry though?

we shouldn't at this point, unless Murray starts playing like he did when he won the cups

Jarry is the Goalie of the future.. not hard to see. A decent playoff will secure it

Frederic was mostly a name out of the hat since he seemed to be sliding a little with Studnicka rising. But someone in that 4th-best-prospect strata seems like a likely request.

And the problem is definitely the RW/LW thing with Boston, because Zucker's not really a RW. He played a little there last year and it wasn't bad, but it's not his thing. If you're signing up for 3 years of him you'd want to have a long term place for him at LW.

PS - Thanks!
