The best trade Zito ever made was to bring Tkachuk into the fold. He brings life into a dismal anemic team and gives them a spark. Without him, there is no drive or commitment to go all the way to the Stanley Cup. As I said when they got him to complete the circuit and trade for his brother Brady. The two of them would carry the Panthers to the Stanley Cup. I would have built my nucleus around those two.
I'm glad the Panthers did not sign Kane. He's a cancer and is too self-centered to be a team player. At most, he will be a distraction to the Red Wings.
