Still think Jim Rutherford overpaid for Jason Zucker? The trade for the then-Wild wing caught some in the hockey community off-guard, but if there's anything we've learned from Rutherford over the past few seasons, it's that he's willing to sacrifice assets to win now. Zucker recorded his first goal as a Penguin on Friday night in Pittsburgh, off a nice assist from Sidney Crosby.

After giving up a Power Play goal, Zucker would score another. Placing Zucker on Crosby's line is a great way to acclimate him to Pittsburgh, and suddenly the 28-year-old is off and running in the Steel City.
