[Jim Morrison]

According to a Swedish newspaper, Zuccarello has signed a 1 year contract.

Or this could just be confusion on behalf of the Swedish/Norwegian journalists.

A one year at 1,25? I call bs.

 

[Championship*]

Slats is never offering him just a 1 year contract

 

[Fitzy]

Only way a 1 year deal makes sense is if they are trying to keep costs down for a signing.

This could bite them after this season, if it is true. Would take him to UFA status.

 

[Thumpz]

7.7 mill is only like 1.25 mill usd, I can't imagine there's any way hehe'd's sign for that.

 

[ZacUSNYR]

Maybe that 7.7 is in us money and not Norwegian krone

 

[Jim Morrison]

Yeah, I think the Swedish journalist just read that Norwegian article wrong upon further examining.

This is correct. Heard from a bird. Crazy good

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Swedish journo with bad Norwegian reading comprehension.

"Will take a discount to be able to battle for the cup, currently at 7m (SEK) contract" became "Took a discount to battle for the cup, signed a 7M (SEK) contract"

 

[Fitzy]

If they cut corners with Zucc on a one year deal, risking his future long term here,it better not be to fit Dan ****ing Boyle.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

umm... What?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

If they cut corners with Zucc on a one year deal, risking his future long term here,it better not be to fit Dan ****ing Boyle.

Yes, pretty much this.

 

[Wolfy*]

Yeah this is just nonsense and a misunderstanding. Should delete this thread to avoid more confusion.

Expressen names Nettavisen as their source for the report. If you read the original article in Nettavisen it doesn't say what Expressen claims it does. It's bogus.

 

[Idlerlee]

If Zucc signed a contract like that, Sather should go to prison for robbery.

But ye this is just the swedish jumping the gun

 

[Wolfy*]

USD-SEK is 6.68...7.7 mill SEK is 1.15 mill USD

They're mixing things up with last year's deal...

 

[Fletch]

would that be his qualifying offer that he signs and next year he's UFA?

 

[Inferno]

if they do this, its because they are going to go for it this year. i wouldnt be surprised if they make a monster trade (E. Staal, Thornton, Spezza, etc)

 

[haohmaru]

Didn't Zooks just get through saying he'd take less $ for a longer term? Why would he sign for a year? Maybe the article is regurgitating old news.

 

[Trainmman]

Wait what?? No way he is going for that cheap. This has to be fake.

As stated multiple times, it's the Swedish journo misreading what the original Norwegian article says. The source article says:

"Zuccarello just completed a one year contract worth $1,15". The Swedish journalist somehow translates that to "Zuccarello just signed a one year contract worth $1,15".

It's just a mixup.

 

[Samkow]

The article doesn't state that, just that he "do not want a greasy jättelön"

Closed.
