Mats Zuccarello pt. II - Thanks for signing a contract edition

[Night owl]

the fact that the fans would be at Sathers' house with pitch forks and torches

Get me on a plane, I will join..........

 

[Vitto79]

Well I will snap lol. Sign 4.5 for 5 it's fair

 

[Idlerlee]

Sather will trade him for a faceoff specialist. Book it.

Zucc for Vermette. Sather could never go near MSG again

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I don't know what a player has to do. Busted his ***** for this team. Was the best forward last year. Plays good defense. Plays hard. Yeah let's play Glass. This organization is embarrassing itself with these ****ed up moves. EMBARRASSING. I'm glad I didn't spend a cent on tickets this year.

 

[Loff]

**** that **** right off, Glen. You stupid SOB.

Zucc for Vermette will be a bust of a deal, just like Glass.

 

[Night owl]

Sign 4.5 for 5 it's fair

That's fair for both and I'm sure he'll take such a deal. Mr. Cigar, I come over on business class just to light tha f.... cigar, just get it done now.......

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Worst of all I'll be on a ****ing plane on trade deadline day and won't know if he's traded or not.

 

[Cassano]

Seriously, which contending team trades its 2nd best winger, who wants to stay here, in the midst of arguably the most successful season they're having ever?

From the Twitter machine;

2/28/15 | 12:18PM: The Rangers are “actively†shopping Zuccarello after contract talks broke down. (Brooks)

12:13PM: Zuccarello says that he has no reaction to the rumors and that he has a game to play tonight. (Zipay)

12:08PM: The Rangers are listening on Zuccarello (Dreger)

It will take a win-win deal to move Zuccarello. (Weekes)

11:38AM: Kevin Weekes says that he has been told today that the Rangers are open to moving Zuccarello as the talks on a contract are going above what NYR want to pay. (Weekes)

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, how does Katie Strang know about the probabilities was someone telling her or is it just conjecture?

These two make me feel a little better.

I'm sure Zucc will take 4 or 5 years @ 4,5 or 4,6, get it done Mr. Cigar, get it done now.

Do we really want a 30,31,32 year old Mats Zuccarello with at 4.5 Cap hit on this team? I could think of many other risks I would rather take over that time period.

Right now this is the most production you are likely to get with him, his production will likely only decrease after next season. are you all going to be happy with that when he turns 30, and becomes and untradeable asset at 4.5 mill? No problem selling while his value is high

Yeah really embarrassing being at the top of the division.

We seem content with a Girardi who is getting older. Not that I think he's bad, I don't think he's worth his contract.

I guarantee you he can be moved with a cap hit of 4.5 @ 30-32 years old.

Unless he asks for a NMC I dont understand the issue here

Are you really going to bring this point up, when we have Hank signed at 8mil until he's 41?

A 31-32 year old Zucc is still legit, easily.

 

[NICKtheGREEK]

This whole Zuccarello stuff is making me depressed

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Good team this year but their asset management is embarrassing. ****ing Glass.

 

[pjr378]

I'm going to keep emotions in check and see how things play out. What's sad is that based on the crap that the franchise has pulled before, I could very much see this trade happening.

 

[Glennsoe]

Pat Leonard spoke briefly with zuke;

Zuccarello: "I've got a game today. Nothing I can do. It's out of my control." Wants to stay a Ranger, nothing has changed there.18:08 – 28. feb 2015

- I don't like the "out of my control" line at all.

 

[haveandare]

You don't fall into a good team. Glass is a horrible mistake but the team is built well.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Paying Girardi instead of Stralman, trading Zucc. Sather is a buffoon.

It is believed the Rangers have offered Zuccarello a five- or six-year deal worth $4.5 Million per, while the winger is seeking well in excess of $5M per, perhaps up to $5.5M. Zuccarello may be able to clear the $5M bar as an unrestricted free agent — or may be able to get the equivalent from a team in a no-tax state, such as Florida — but it is clear he is not going to get that to remain in New York.

 

[jskramer83]

Agree, I feel the same way about zucc. He is a good player, and I think he will get a 5 yr 4.5 - 5.5 mill per year contract somewhere, I just don't want it here. Would rather have a player with a higher potential ceiling playing.

With that said I am only trading him if the trade helps us both this year and the future, otherwise just keep him and part ways at the end of the year.
