NHL trade grades: Predators land Jason Zucker from Coyotes at a bargain price

New York Times  

Follow the latest NHL trade deadline news in The Athletic’s live blog. Eric Duhatschek: When Zucker signed a one-year, $5.3 million contract with the Coyotes on the opening day of free agency last summer, this was always a logical and predictable outcome — that he’d put in his time with Arizona, and if they weren’t a playoff team, he’d be flipped at the deadline for an asset. After a respectable 27-goal season for Pittsburgh last season, Zucker managed just nine goals in 51 games this season, along with 16 assists, which left him ninth overall in scoring on a Coyotes team that doesn’t score much.

With Zucker being one of the team’s few useful trade assets, it’s pretty big disappointment for the Coyotes.
