How Good Has Zucker Been !!


Night Train

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
