In Zucker, the Penguins land a solid scoring winger that the franchise was missing since trading away Phil Kessel last summer. He also helps curb the loss this season of top scoring winger Jake Guentzel (shoulder surgery). Signed through 2022-23, Zucker is expected to play an important, top-six winger role with the Pens (who look like a true Stanley Cup contender once again this season).

This is an excellent trade for former Penguins assistant GM Bill Guerin, the man now in charge of the Wild. Addison is a quality blueline prospect who likely becomes Minnesota's best at the position. The Wild also land the Pens' first-round pick in '20 (in what is expected to be a very strong draft) and Galchenyuk (who has struggled badly the last two seasons and who joins his fourth team at age 25).

Zucker has a chance to blossom in Pittsburgh, as he should be given an outstanding opportunity to shine next to either Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. That said, a word of caution here: Galchenyuk, Tanner Pearson, Derick Brassard et al all struggled after being acquired by Pittsburgh, so Zucker will need to make adjustments with his new team. Addison remains a prized prospect and a decent option for very deep keeper leagues, while Galchenyuk remains a roll of the dice. Handle with care.
