Quoting: MNBassman
Pavelski is good buds with Suter and Parise, so he might be willing to waive his NMC...who knows.
The Stars do/did love Zuccarello, but not enough to sign him to the idiotic contract the always desperate Wild do/did...
Quoting: justaBoss
Yeah that's true. That contract is a massive no-no.
Yeah I remember the roller coaster of emotions I had over the Zucc singing.
At first I was happy. "HELL YES! He can replace some of the playmaking Granlund left behind. Not sure about the 5 years but heck, sometimes you have to overpay to get a quality player"
Shortly after the signing, the details leaked. "Oh boy...ummm. That contract looks horrendous...let's hope he contributes at a high level for at least 4 of the 5 years. Why did we have to give him that NMC? You know what, let's just ride with it and hope for the best. What's done is done."
Part-way through the season: "Man, Zucc doesn't look like he fits in at all. Let's hope he's still just getting adjusted"
Today: "Guys, I think we've made a mistake..."
