Zuke needs a babe, now here's his chance...

That situation in the beginning of the 3rd period against PITT tonight where he somehow moves around 3 penguins and still ends up with the puck and gets off a good pass was cool. It belongs in an animated gif or a highlight reel.

Yeah I second that, would be awesome if someone could put one up

A single guy, living in NYC, reaching cult status in the big apple.. He doesnt really need to go steady right now..

I think Mats deserves 5 mill pr. year in his new contract (3-4 years)

i dont.

id like to lock him up long term though.

5x3.5?

nice hefty raise.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

haha Dat rap tho.

Are you his agent? $5M per? No way.

 

[Raspewtin]

6 game point streak from Zucc, 8 points and a +8.

He hasn't been on ice for an even strength goal in that stretch. Shows just how well his line is really playing.

 

[aufheben]

Swag, Swag, Swagarello.

 

[KenGuru]

Are you his agent? $5M per? No way.

But he is not gonna get it. More likely 3.5-4.0
I just compare to Callahan.

 

[Raspewtin]

This team is comfortably in the NHL basement without Zuccarello's heroics throughout those god awful three months.

Really proud with how far he's come.

 

[Placid]

Thats....nuts

Somewhere between 3 and 4 is probably where he'll land, depending a bit on contract length.

 

[Wolfy*]

Zucc is UFA next year, and Im sure there are teams out there willing to offer him 5M a year. So if the Rangers wont come up with the big bucks he should hit the road.

I don't think he'll accept 3,5 over the next 5 years, the prime period of his career. But his agents will handle this for what he's worth anyway.

 

[Cake or Death]

Pretty sure he only has one more RFA season. He's the best forward on the team right now, by a country mile. Insult him with 3.5 mil and he should sign for one year and hit the market where he'll easily get 5+.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

(Oh my good Lord, that is the worst video of all time.)

4x$4 sounds about right to me.

 

[wolfgaze]

zucc is ufa next year

Restricted Free Agent (RFA)......

Restricted Free Agent (RFA)......

I think what he is saying is that in 2015 (next year) he would otherwise qualify as UFA (if he was on a contract ending then). Hence, in the unlikely event that he ends up with another one year extension, then he will have the negotiation power of an UFA next year.

Yeah thats indeed what he meant. Also, 3.5 pr for 5 years, if this is the standard he'll bring forward (can he improve even?)

This is actually a really risky contract since its essentially a 1 year sample that takes him through his prime, so either you pay the man, or shortchange the man. With this level of play 3(4) years at 4(4.5) mill is reasonable. 5 years at 3.5pr. is a massive steal by the Rangers considering the increasing cap hip

Agree.

4/16 or 5/20 would be a good deal for both sides.
