Jason Zucker agrees to two-year contract with Wild
Winger Jason Zucker has signed a two-year contract with the Minnesota Wild worth $4 million.
What It Means:
Zucker will make $2 million both next season and in 2017-18. Despite having a disappointing season, he tallied 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 71 games, the Wild still chose to re-sign the 24 year-old. More production was expected, since he potted 21 goals in just 51 games played during the 2014-15 season.
Zucker's ability to drive possession was also down from the previous season. His Corsi For Percentage was just 49.5 and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength was 2.1.
