Exzactly...Florida...poof! A bunch of sand and wimmins walking around in bikinis. Who needs that?

You're right! A bunch of women walking around in bikinis? That's not something we're into... here in...- Sorry, I got distracted while buying a plane ticket to Florida.

I did get the joke. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be saying his personality is outstanding, I'd be saying he's a jerk.

Now that I revisited the post from you that I quoted, I feel like a moron. How could I possibly misread that? It must have been meant for an other post. I am very sorry and embarrassed Baghead. I read your reply now. Thank you. Norwegian is easy

Parise didn’t seem clever enough to play with him, can we hope for a Zucker or Fiala on Zuccs left side?

 

[Webster]

I think Boudreau hopes Zucc & Parise can become a productive duo.
Parise says he loves to play with Zucc, lets hope it helps on his scoring. So I don't expect any changes there yet.

Btw...can someone bring the lizard a ladder?
wow...Greenway 6'6

Like I said, cartoon characters. Reminds me of NHL Hockey on the NES with the player types of fat guy, skinny guy and average guy.

There sure are a lot of Zuccarello fanboys (in a good way). I think that says a lot about him. Can't wait to see his impact this season.

I've been a fanboy of his myself. Never thought the Rangers would let him go in the first place. Was thrilled to see him replace what we lost when we moved Granlund.

Russo’s newest piece on Zuccarello:

Minnesota Mats: Funny and focused, Zuccarello begins his new...

We know he’s self-demanding, but blaming himself for Parise not scoring in preseason is just beyond everything.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

looks like Zucc is not working out in Minny? He should have re-signed with Dallas where he had chemistry with players.

Two games...

Two points does technically make a line, I guess.

 

[Shoresy]

Looked good in preseason. Hasn’t touched the puck too much so far in regular season but he hasn’t made the best passes when he has. Definitely too soon to be jumping ship on him though

Looks like Kaako isn't working out in Nynny? Should've drafted Turcotte

Would of cost Dallas another 1st rd pick. Doubt it was even an option.

Zuccarello said he had an offer from the Stars, same money as here but a year less and limited clause.

Of course they wanted to keep him, he had a lot of success there. But their GM said they couldn't give him 5 years because they would run into problems cap-wise when it's time to re-sign their younger players.

 

[DANOZ28]

lets say dallas wants him back what would be a fair price? 2-2nds?

If they didn't want to give him a 5th year earlier, I don't see why they would want to now.

Dallas would've had to give New York a 1st rounder if they re-signed Zuccarello. Might be interested in trading for him if the price is lower than that

Certainly true, I'm just basing it off of what Webster said above about Dallas not wanting to get into cap trouble signing youngsters in Year 5.

But 5 years is a long ways away, so maybe they'd reconsider.

What Webster said above is just what a GM says when he doesn't really plan on re-signing a guy.

Also very possible.

They couldn't afford him now anyway. When the Zucc deal failed they signed Pavelski 3 yrs @ 7M.

Well actually can afford him if the Wild retain.

Also a good point. Was it ever confirmed Dallas offered him a four-year deal?

Yes, in Norwegian media he talked about his long free agency process and all the teams involved. Maybe I can find that article.

But I'm pretty sure that Zuccarello wouldn't even hear about an exit now. It's still very early, and it's not just him but the entire team. So it will be a team effort to get the problems fixed.

The article is right here, you need to translate the page, but it's some interesting read.

I liked the Zuccarello signing actually. Disappointed in Minnys start. I had picked them to grab a WC spot this year.

Seems the team lost a step. Maybe losing Nedereitter and Granlund was too much. That chemistry the team once had isn’t there right now. Doesn’t help that Staal and Parise are off to a slow start too.

Given the current makeup of the team now, it’s a shame Kessel killed the Pens trade. This team needs an offensive spark and he could of been that guy.

We just need younger, faster legs in the lineup combined with some skill. There's a way to do that and we are well on our way to start the season.
