Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) Zuccarello is still a hell of a player, and each goal or assist he gets keeps breaking the notion he wasn't worth AN EXTENSION WITH A PAYCUT! I'll keep bringing that up every time, because it bears repeating you're getting near PPG production for $4 mil... There's a reason the Rangers fans and media are still bummed he's gone.

Here's hoping his team friendly approach spills over to his buddy KK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dis-allowed display name Verified Member Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I have heard the pundits say that as a player ages, speed and strength are the first things to go, but skills don't diminish. Skill players hang around longer because the skill does not fade until the body can no longer keep up. Lizard is a skill player. As long as he stays away from injury and keeps himself in shape, he should provide some amount of utility through the contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will D. Ness Verified Member Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I think Zuccarello has more fight in him this year as well. There has to be a lot of pressure on him to justify breaking up KK-Ek-Boldy and creating KK-Rossi-Zucc. He seems to be highly motivated and it is bringing out his best game.

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 The best thing I can see is you are no longer getting these east-west passes, they are more SW-NE types of passes that aren't immediately picked off and headed the other way. Zuccarello has been better so far this season than I expected. There's been plenty of rest days with the schedule. I thought he was noticeably slower in b2bs, and I think at 37, when the schedule is condensed, we might need to give him some maintenance time off. Currently, the value of his contract has been very good as CS has commented. In fact, Zuccarello, Foligno, Hartman and Gaudreau have all performed adequately and I see plenty of effort with Johansson too. Let's hope it sticks, at 37, this is not a given.
