OT: Zucker

[Dan1911]

So now that Jason Zucker's healthy and playing well, the blogosphere is suggesting he be re-signed after this year. Is that a good idea? He seems to get injured quite a lot and they certainly didn't get their money's worth over his entire tenure here. And he's over 30.

What do you think we should do?
Re-sign him knowing he'll want a long-term deal with lots of $$$. Wouldn't that be another albatross we seem to keep tying ourselves to every year?
Let him play out the year and lose him in free agency for nothing?
Trade him now to recoup some ROI and yet younger/faster/cheaper
OR Trade for the 3rd center now that Carter has expired like milk left in the sun.

What do you think?

I like the guy. He was perhaps the best player for the Pens over multiple games in the Rangers series. If reasonable I’d bring him back. The injury thing is the elephant in the room everyone is aware of, they’d hopefully will both try to reach a fair deal taking it into consideration. Having said all that…they never do what I believe they should do, so I expect it to not happen. 😄

No. I wouldn't resign him. Pens need some jazz to go along with their mostly perimeter type of players.
