Player Discussion Mats Zuccarello

[Zucc36]

Zucc injured again on practice, this time not serious though. "Only" a collision with a cut above his eye, which had to be stitched... But does this mean he is cleared for contact?

 

[serp]

He came back and finished practise so doesn't seem serious in any way.

Hes not wearing a no contact Jersey so that's a good sign, minus the contact he took today lol

So much for being excited!

I saw the Zucc update tweet anyways

Zucc: "I think this is a dangerous place, better get outta here"

Sounds like after the EDM game, it could be any day.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Hopefully he can get in a few games before the playoffs.

 

[Webster]

Getting really close, Seguin can't wait...

 

[Pistachio]

Any updates on Game 1 ?

Any updates on Game 1 ?

He should be good-to-go on a line with Benn and Hintz, though the lines can change in an instant if Monty doesn't like what he sees.

Any updates on Game 1 ?

Yep, he's gonna play. 1st PP unit and 2nd line with Benn and Hintz

I'd like to remove (out 4 weeks) in the title, since it's no longer relevant.

Replace it with "(is f***ing awesome)"

Pretty interesting interview.

 

[Machinehead]

He used to go back and spend summers in Norway with mom and dad.

He's a pretty simple guy.

 

[Ori]

Yes he walk the mountains too in the summer so he is good to stay in shape until next season - a true professional player.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The Norwegian lemming is back on track with 3 goals so far and you got him for basically nothing. He's a loyal guy that doesn't like to move around, you should have a good chance to keep him.

I guess you've seen he's not just a skilled playmaker about now. He really hardworking backchecker that doesn't take a shift off and he has an edge to his game that you wouldn't expect from someone his size.

He reminds me of a poor man's Theoren Fleury, without the cheap shots and less goals.

 

[QJL]

So Dallas fans, what’s the verdict? Are you going to resign this guy and gift NYR a 1st? Is he going to be a difference maker that gets you to the west finals?

 

[serp]

I'd re-sign him in a heartbeat but not like i have anyhting to do with the front office. It'll get sorted in June.

Same.

I'm worried that Nill will value the pick too much and try to sign Nyquist or some other forward instead. I could certainly see his logic being "Nyquist + 1st > Zucc + 3rd", but I disagree. Zucc is clearly a great fit for this team and gives us what we needed so badly. Why risk losing that?
