Just not this year... we need the Pens to barely squeak in, then fall flat on their face in the first round to maximize the pick.
Confirmed with Link: Zucker to Pittsburgh for a 1st, Galchenyuk and Addison

Ok, dis hockey
I’m honestly so f***ing happy for him.
like he potted a goal from Sidney f***in Crosby. Minnesota could never. Seeing all the videos from pens social makes me envy his joy. Love to see it!

Hey mates, I come in peace...
Just want to get some clarification on something. The Pens pbp guys - Mears, Errey and their other broadcasters were correcting themselves with Zucker's last name and how to say it correctly. They would say it like "Zuhker" but then apologize and correct it to "Zooker"...
We've seen the pens do this before with Conor Sheary, after 2 seasons as a Penguin, he had them correct the way to say it from "Shear-ee" to "Sherry"...
What's the correct way to say it? Were they saying his last name the wrong way the whole time and he just finally corrected people now that he can?

I've always heard it pronounced with the u from "sugar", as opposed to the oo in "zoo" or uh in "trucker."
I'm not sure if his name is actually German, but if it is the pronunciation makes sense.

I am guilty of never correcting people to say my last name or my first name and just sort of accept it as "close enough" so I get it when people don't. But from hearing his name in Wild feeds from before and then now that he's a Penguin, suddenly hearing it a different way is weird.
Even during the post game, they were apologizing and correding it to the Zoo version.
Thanks for replying.

How much of Guerin's decision about playing Galch is because of his ego in wanting him to work out, so he can "win" the PIT trade? I also wonder how much of his letting go of BB was about ego. I suspect that BB let fly with a few F bombs when he found out that Zucker was traded for yet another deeply flawed player, and Guerin got offended.
I don't think anyone thinks of Chucky as anything more than a cap dump... but you have to see what you have in him to see if you can get anything out of him in flipping him or if he surprises and his game fit here for some odd reason.
Addison was the real chip in return for Zucker... and the 1st.

He might've been blowing smoke, but when BB was on Paul Allen's show the morning after the trade, he was gushing about the return.
This is the Wild forum... it just moved from the prospect thread to the Zucker trade thread... the Chucky convo isn't appropriate in the prospect thread.
As for the 17 points... even a blind squirrel can find a nut.

I do....except for the playoffs this year. We need a first round exit for them to help that draft pick.
So happy for Zucker. Pittsburgh is going to be great for him.
The Pens look good but the East is shaping up to be some type of gauntlet this year.

Is it weird that I want Zucker to be a 40 goal guy in Pittsburgh just because I know it would’ve never happened here
