Why shouldn't he ? His entire career, he has said that he is not doing it for the money (which his contracts and behavior has proven multiple times with the Rangers). This is likely to be his last "big" contract (any potential contract after this one is likely going to be in a supporting role rather than a "main line" player). Seeing how the Rangers just dumped him after a decade (i realize this is normal for you guys in the US, for people in Norway, its generally opposite. One is supposed to reward loyalty), my wager is that his numero uno priority by a mile, is job security. Job security carries a risk of its own to the management, and is usually somewhat offset by a lower salary. But we'll have to see i guess![]()
The Rangers showed Zucc that loyalty doesn't pay off, he's done leaving millions on the table to help a team and get nothing back. In fact, he could see it as a little revenge on the Rags if he blocks that 1st, and definitely if he signs with the Islanders as well
As for the Stars, I think there's still a chance he signs here, but it's smaller. Maybe Nill finds a little more to throw in, and then Zucc could consider the offer again since he knows this team.
