How is the difference between Lee and Zucc is a 6th

Anaheim accepts

Pleasure doing business

Make the prospect something Calgary might be interested in instead of yet another left shot LW they have no use for and they consider it.

-Don't think the Sens have the cap space to add Pageau at full freight, so I don't think you get him moved this way.

-Turning 2x$7M of Lee into 1x$9M of Zuccarello doesn't make the team better to me. Lee has started to show his age, but getting a guy 3 years older doesn't really change the potential decline issue here. Plus, a lot of Zucc's value comes from being a power play setup guy for goalscorers like Kaprizov, Boldy, and JEE - 28 of his 51 assists (and 33 of his 63 overall points) came on the man advantage this season. You're either making him a redundancy by putting him on PP1 with a distributor like Barzal, or you're muting his impact by running him on PP2 with lesser finishers like Engvall & Pageau (or I guess Iskhakov on this team.)

-Giving up a 1st for Sharangovich feels like a big overpay, and that's before you add Finley & the 3rd. His goalscoring spiked this year on a hard-to-repeat 17.3% shooting number, and as good as his offensive numbers are, his defensive numbers are typically worse. Despite being basically even in CF%, the Flames were outscored 64-41 at 5v5 with him on ice this season - while part of that is bad goaltending, his lines have always bled high danger changes at a higher rate than normal chances. I think he'd just be another Pierre Engvall on this team.

OTT declines
