Those point totals make no argument. His point total without Chris Kreider at 5v5 dropped.
Your contempt for Zuccarello is apparent.

We all know Kreider drives the play... That's not the argument. The Kreider Zibs Zucc lne works well..

I mean the username......but yeah. I'm all for trading Zuccarello but yeah I don't get the hate. No one wants to give him any kind of credit. lol @ thinking Jesper Fast makes that line better...
You said he went dry, he's gotten more productive with every passing month.
He may have gone more dry, but that will happen again, even if Zucc were to stay as he isn't going to continue to score 2 goals a game and eventually they'll run into competition that they can't dominate.
Zuccarello has had little to do with the success of that line or either player this year (as they've both been plenty productive with out him) outside of last night. He's been more opportunistic than good.

Zibs monthly point totals don't show the full picture of 5v5 without Kreider.
You're not being objective. You're immediate on the defensive as if I'm saying Zucc is the reason that line is producing.
Kreider-Zibs-Zucc is the best combo we've had all year. They compliment each other well.
You said
"Goes to show what a playmaker like Zucc can do for Zibanejad. "
You can say I'm not being objective, but you're not being honest.

LOL he has 8 goals in 5 games.. What can a playmaker do?
Zucc has been ass for a good portion of the year. He's finally coming back into form
It`s one of the reason I don`t sponsor HF Boards at the moment, but that can change in the future. Because of all the name changing on the forum for x,y reasons. I liked u much better when you was known as @GoAwayStaal @ZuccsFluffierFluffer - because I saw it as a joke since he had a NMC. But you dislike the player Zucc and that`s fine, and all have their own versions and opinions about players. But that line recently has been red hot based on the Kreider - Zib - Zucc combination. They are like a Vulcano right now on Hawai.
But I hope your understand my view, because it`s normal to have different opinions about a player.
Mika can hit 80 pts. this season if he manage to stay healthy - he is an unique center and his playing his best hockey in his career.

How many of those goals does Zuccarello have the primary assist on? 3?
2 of them came yesterday, in a game where I've already said he was actually good.
I'm sorry if I'm not impressed by him bumping the puck to someone else who then gives the puck to Zibanejad before he scores.
I guess you were also impressed by his recent goal scoring outburst which consisted of booting in a puck, a pee wee goal, a bank shot and then a tap in after everyone else on the ice did most of the work.
I hope you work for the Oilers.

Whatever. But don't be surprised when Zibanejad continues to produce after Zuccarello is moved.

He will produce if Kreider is on his wing and on the PP..
He won't produce at the pace he's currently producing with Zucc.
btw it's 8 goals in 4 games with Zucc... Forgot he didn't play in Philly.. Could have been the difference, surprisingly no production that game
Lmao he won’t produce at the rate that he’s producing over the last 5 games if he played with McDavid.
He’ll continue to produce at the level he has for the season though, which is around a ppg. He’s white hot at the moment.

4 games. Zucc didn't play against Philly, where Zibanejad didn't produce
He'll produce with Kreider on his wing and on the PP but won't score as many goals without a playmaker.

Zuccarello has been playing great for a few weeks. The guy had 22+ minutes of ice time last night as a wing for crying out loud.
