Zucker hasn't earned anything yet, in terms of "earned" he is lower than Coyle, Nino, MiG, those guys who did a lot for us in terms of regular season and playoffs still have to go into camp and earn their spots.
Zucker's best hope is to get a good year of development in Iowa, followed by maybe a strong callup showing if he gets that chance, but more importantly would be a the 2015 training camp, come into camp and show the team you can be a force. He needs to get strong while keeping his speed and to be a pest who is a 3rd liner with upside to score and be inserted into the top 6 here and there to throw a wrench into the game.
I know people like him, I do too, and his career with the Wild is far from over, but he needs to become a complete player, if he comes into this camp and plays well in a two way game and away from the puck, I can see him on the 3rd line which would be really for for Him AND us, it would give us more danger since opposing teams will be looking to stop our 1st/2nd line meaning Zucker can actually have easier opponents.
Honestly Him and Haula would be so ****ing fast it would be fun to watch, but he needs to be a more complete player away from the puck, which was his weakness last year.
