Article: What Does Mats Zuccarello Bring To Save the Wild's Season?


Recommended Posts

If Zucc manages to defy age the top six should round into form. I would disagree that Kaprizov has excelled at carrying the puck this year. He looks slow and has been stood up and had the puck taken 1v1 by very average defenders on several occasions. Something unheard of in previous seasons.

Hopefully he was lazy in the summer and is still getting into shape. The alternative is that we have already seen his peak....yikes.

I'll come back to this one obvious fact.  We do not have a 2nd scoring line.  Kirill, Boldy and Ek are the only true top 6 forwards we have on the team.  Rossi is close.  So close that sometimes I include him... sometimes I don't.  Senko and Marcus are not close.  

Is Zuc a top 6 forward?  Who cares.  He is 38yo and his contract ends this year and the odds of retirement are through the roof.  Zuc is not a part of any team the Wild will have for a cup run.

We only have 4 of the 6 needed for two scoring lines.  BG's work is incomplete.
