Nice. The Wild have basically been able to lock up any young guy that matters, which was a concern with this prospect group when they signed Parise and Suter.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
It's a move that had to be made. That being said, we are looking at basically the same team heading into next season....guessing a few of you aren't too thrilled about that....

Excellent signing. All the wasted KFAN talk about trading him. Yeah they need to kill segments but it was so dumb. Anybody with an IQ over 50 knew he was part of the solution and not part of the problem.
Fuck you. Original RC 2004 & RC Kickball Team.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
I'm fine with it. He did score 33 goals last year. This will essentially be the same team for a couple years until Miko's contract is over 2 more years at 5 million each. The problem is we have zero cap space. Hopefully a few young players blow up.

Glad they kept him. glad he accepted less to stay. Others on the team are less desirable.

Your post is basically the offseason in a nutshell, but I guess is what Leipold was saying when he was looking just for a tweak. The tweak I guess is in the bottom 6.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
While I would have been happy with a shake up.. We are also not a bad team and could be better if Parise is healthy(Huge if) and Coyle and Nino decide to contribute(also a big if).
That being said, lets say those guys step up, we still need to get huge years out of Staal and Zucker.
Maybe a light will turn on. We certainly have pieces to the puzzle but still struggle to see this core ever winning the Stanley Cup.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
It will be interesting. Injuries took a pretty good toll on them last year but I agree on paper expectations maybe shouldn't be that high. They really need to see improvement down the middle and with transition play if they hope to take the next step.

We all know there is some talent on this squad but think many are tired of the status quo. Wouldn't shock me if they have a great year, wouldn't shock me if they miss the playoffs.....

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
Good deal. Nice to get him locked up. An interesting side note, Zucker is only the 2nd player the Wild have ever drafted that has went on to score 30 goals in the NHL (Gaborik was the other). And that means for any team in the NHL, not just in a Wild uniform.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
The only good thing about this is they can trade him. He's a playoff p-ssy. Strings goals together in losses hence his high number. He's a weak-p-ssy hockey player that MN folk have come to love. If he scores 15 goals by trade deadline, please trade him and Carly somewhere.
Love the article in the PP after we signed him..."MN loves Zucker and Carly cuz they do donate time and stuff a lot, they are nice, we should have signed him etc..." twas the theme.

Good call by Nova. I didn't see this comin' but must admit I was a little worried by Nova's lack of enthusiasm about the deal.

I'd take ONE Stanley CUP with no playoffs for 5 years- over "6 playoffs in a row". Believe that right now. To be a fan on that Cup Ride, watching your alpha male-captain grab that cup and raise it, to feel that, to know that-that captain and his teammates, went to hell and came back with the Cup for this state. Get outta here with that "made the playoffs stuff".

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
He is pressing big time. I just dont think you get the value in return for him now. I would keep him but they need to get consistent line mates and people who can find him in space.Hole Nova Level wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 4:35 pm14 goals, 15 assists, -4 for Carly Zucker.Ron Burgundy 4 President wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 7:41 pm Good deal.

Zucker also needs to figure out finishing. He has just been a bit off but I dont think last year was a fluke.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
Zucker has been a disaster so far this season, but he's the one guy that I fear losing and then he goes on to average 30 goals the next 5 years for someone else.....guy has elite speed and can be a game changer if he puts his mind to it.D_B_U wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 1:29 pmHe is pressing big time.

Re: Zucker Signs 5 year deal!
He looks to be a guy who is pressing the most. I think it will click but I think the pressure is becoming tough for him.
Honestly the whole team has been a disaster.
