Confirmed with Link: Sabres Sign Jason Zucker, 1 year, $5M AAV

That's actually a pretty dope story. Based on the admittedly small preseason sample, he seems like an unsung hero candidate. I really like the way he goes to the net, and if he's bringing veteran insight to the stupidly young room, that's a bonus

Zucker commentary:

 

[Dubi Doo]

He's been a fine addition to the top-9, and I like that he has some sand paper even if he does cross the line at times.

When you combine production (so far) with the emotional intangibles he's brought, you could argue this is the best UFA signing they've made in the Pegula era.

As long as he isn't head hunting a la downie, torres, or wilson then i don't mind a guy who can cross the line sometimes. Every good team has a guy who walks that line. Maybe he is ours?

I'm not sure that (so far) there is much of an argument against him being the best UFA signing in the Pegula era.

They need more guys like this.

He only ever seems to be looking to mete out frontier justice to someone who has wronged him or a teammate.

So no Brad Richards?
