Proposal: Zucker for Gallagher

[Jerkbait]

Stop. You're wrong.

Actually your incorrect. Zucker was given every chance in the top 2 lines and failed. He found a temporary home on the thrid line with Carter. See attached slap nut

That's not in dispute.

"Attached" showed where Zucker played when Malkin was injured.

When Malkin returned, Zucker played with him on the 2nd line.

But keep digging. Sit in your wrongness.

let's wait a bit before calling Gallagher done, can we?

He was on pace for over 30 goals last year yet again ( for a 4th year in a row),

He's a slow starter (because he's a high motor guy and early in the seasons he needs his cardio to catch up to his style of play (no surprise he started slow this year with such a small summer break), on a 3-12 team mind you.

He will get going soon imo and we will still call him "close to be done" for at least 2-3 years.

I think he is playing injured too

No, you're wrong again.

You see, they keep records down to the second of how much time a winger spends on certain lines:

Line Stats - Natural Stat Trick
Line Stats - Natural Stat Trick

Whatever some random sports writer predicts in his column doesn't supersede reality.

Zucker spent 55 minutes with Malkin and 7 minutes with Carter. He was on a scoring line in the playoffs.

I can't speak for Pittsburgh, but I expect if the Habs move Gallagher it'll be to get someone younger and part of deeper retool, and salary received in return will be bad contracts rather than guys of similar ages and cap hits.
