Night Train Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Parked in front of the net. Passing and shooting great. Leadership. Only a 1 year deal ? Keep hum around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoted Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago It's an amazing start, he might have found his grouping that fits. That third line looking good right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago What an amazing concept. Bring in a seasoned vet who can still produce and not force a kid to magically figure it out in the pros. This should have been the concept 5 years ago for this team instead of the washed guys they have paraded in here year after year. Zucker has been great so far. Zucker McLeod Greenway has been a very good 3rd line for them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago He is playing like what you EXPECT a vet in his early 30's should be playing like when you sign him a 1 year, $5m deal. He's good. he's usable, He is contributing, but he's not a revelation carrying the team to the promised land. We've had so few good veteran free agent signings around here most of us forget what they are supposed to look like. I think us as fans have walking trough a desert of non-contributing 'veterans' for so long, we have guys like Okposo, Gionta, Marcus Johanson, Pominville version 2.0, Jimmy Vesey that we have been convinced could fill that role.......or we simply accepted vets who were 2 steps below that level in both talent and pay that we were 'supposed' to think would fill the same role (Cody Eakin, Benoit Pouliot, Sabotka, Riley Sheahan, etc) Zucker has been playing well lately, so far he is a good signing, the kind we should expect a bit more often.

JustOneParade Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Plays the game the right way. Productive. Leadership qualities. Yes, that’s the type of player we should (and should have been) signing. We need another Zucker-type at F and another on the back end. But it needs to be guys who can help lift the team and not get dragged down into the muck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted 31 minutes ago Report Share Posted 31 minutes ago (edited) He’s the vet we’ve signed in theory but actually is the real deal for twenty years now if I bought a jersey today it’d be his Edited 30 minutes ago by triumph_communes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
