I'm really happy for him. He had to fight to even get in the NHL. Slats always had faith in him but Torts wanted nothing to do with him. Refused to call him up from the AHL multiple times despite AHL coaches saying he deserved to be called up. Played him on the 4th line and didn't dress him (after injury) for a must win playoff game vs NJ. Zooks basically went to play in the KHL until Slats got him back over in to the USA in spite of Torts because we had no offense.
