After doing the flirting with Zucker since the summer, nearly acquiring for Phil Kessel<\/a>, and continuing to flirt with him all season long, the Penguins finally did the deed and traded for Jason Zucker.<\/p>\n

\n

Zucker, 28, has three more years beyond this one with an AAV of $5.5M. PIT initially wasn\u2019t keen on giving up prospect defenceman Calen Addison, or for that matter the first-round pick, but PIT is all about maximizing the Sid-Geno window to win Cup(s) now.<\/p>\n
