Description

Another AGM from a devils fan had the devils trading Gusev with retention to the pens for a 2022 2nd and Zajac with retention for a 2021 2nd to the isles. Isles fans said there was no room for Zajac so I thought he would be a decent addition to bolster our bottom 6 and could be good enough to jump into top 6 if *knocks on wood* Crosby or Malkin get injured. Because we would give a 2023 2nd, I added a 3rd in that year and a prospect. Would this be good enough for either team?

This is the pens at pretty much full health minus Zucker.

Kind of torn on how the lineup should look. Should the pens bump rust down to spread the offense out and keep Gusev on the his right handed side? Or put McCann on the 3rd line and have 2 righty wingers on line 2 and 2 lefties on line 3?
