Wow okay.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

Good.

If that's his career year it'll be a rough contract. If he has a career of those years it'll be great.

Steal for the Wild.

Anything between "rough" and "great"?

 

[Zirakzigil]

That seems cheap to me considering the year he had.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Slowest player in the league

 

[Silky mitts]

I like it for Wild, buys 4 years of UFA, twice in 4 years he's averaged .4 gpg

It's HFboards Brah; AINEC.

Tweet in the 2nd post calls him speedy

I like this kid. Solid player

So am I correct that the Wild don't need to make a trade at this point for cap reasons?

You’re correct.

 

[EON]

Great deal, Zucker is a borderline top line player and still only 26.

$1.7M in room with 23 players signed.

At first I thought that was a bit much but this deal is very fair. He had a great year and nothing in his underlying numbers point to it being a fluky season (normal 5v5, PP and individual shooting %, good possession player, and only entering his prime years now).

 

[Jared Dunn]

This seems a bit high and I'd be shocked if he continues to put up 60 point seasons but if he can at least stay around ~55 it should be a really good deal

 

[SI90]

Fair deal for both sides.

He's either going to be Tanner Glass or McDavid, godspeed

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Glad he’s staying. Slightly concerned he had a contract year and won’t put up that many points again in his career. If he does though it’s a great deal.

 

[Engebretson]

I figured it would land somewhere around 6mil AAV. Nice deal.

 

[HomeAndHome]

Pretty fair deal IMO. Hopefully he can keep up his production from last season.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

I think this is a fair deal for sure. I thought he would get more actually
