Also if zucc puts up the same numbers this year than the rangers will be perfectly fine giving him the break the bank contract
Makes sense. Sounds like Zucc is happy with this deal, that's also important. And once again he helps Slats, I guess Zucc will get his award a little later.

Unsatisfied
That's the way I look at it. Zucc is doing the Rangers a favor with the one-year deal. If everything falls into place, come January 1, negotiations start on a multi-year deal.
Hire Sather
He Is Our Star
Yes, that will completely be the fault of Glass and his 2% of the CURRENT cap contract that doesn't include any movement clauses
I swear
Hire Sather

Even if they do, one more good year and hes gunna be wanting 5 mill +
Why is everything so short term with this front office?
Why does everyone have to be up for a new contract every offseason?
Terrible.

Zuccarello is a taking a chance by not accepting the longer term deal for less than his asking price. He needs to have another good year. Zuccarello has only done it for one season. He got a very good bump from $1.15M. The Rangers and Newport tried to get a long term deal. He wanted $4.5M to $5M.

Honestly can't fathom why you don't give him another million long term instead of risking him having an even better season this year and demanding 5 or even 6 mill +
This is a lose lose situation for the Rangers. Worst news of the offseason.

You know what's also short term?
Short term memory people have on Zucc
The guy's had 1 great NHL season. Before that, he had 34 points in 67 NHL games.
Signing a player like that to a long term contract is a huge risk.
With this deal, we risk losing him, but at least we don't risk ending up with a disaster of a contract

wow...they're saying he'd probably get a million more from arbitration. This shows Zucc is a good guy who thinks about his team, and he wants to be Sather's buddy

Which is why I think they'll get him extended in no time.. even before staal

yeah, I'm so off base
If he takes a step forward and puts up 70 points next season, you think he'll sign for $4.5 like he was asking for this time? Especially after he threw Sather a bone with a cheap 1 yr deal?

This doesn't worry me very much. If they didn't have a long term extension lined up, Zucc would have gone to arbitration instead of giving them a 1 year discount.
Hehe, if it was that easy.
Zucc had zero pts in his first 9 games. He then worked himself up the line-up. His 5 on 5 and PP time will never go down, but it could go up. If he have a good year and get a bit of a bigger role, his numbers aren't going down. They are going up.
Zucc was argubly our best player all POs and most valuble forward all year. If he has a good year, we aren't looking at 4-5m per for 4-5 years. Not with the new tv-money and a Cap at 76-80m.
If you wanna guess at what Zucc would get, don't for a second think along the lines what he is worth. What other players signed for 2-3 years ago. Aim extremely high and throw out a number, then add a million or two to that number and you could get close. People thought Pouliot was worth 2.2m, might get 2.5m, then someone mentioned 3m but that was seen as high, and Pouliot signed at 4.5m.
An avg year from Zucc with few smaller injuries and he will get 5-6 million per. A good year from him and he will get 7 million per.
Slats could have locked up Zucc real cheap 6 month ago.
Slats could have locked up Zucc at 4.5m today.
What will he cost January 1? July 1?
Our most valuble forward.
