Fringe Signing (Jun 29)

The Minnesota Wild have announced that they signed forward Jason Zucker to a brand new deal, 2 years worth $4 million.  The 24-year old forward hasn't quite excelled enough in Minnesota to earn himself a long-term deal, rather they continue to bridge him into a very reasonable deal, as he eats up minutes with marginal offensive success.

Last season, he wasn't too far out of being pool worthy, finishing with 13 goals and 23 points in 71 games for the Wild, but without more minutes to his credit, he probably won't increase his production too much.  If the pool gets any deeper though, he could figure in as a good late round pick.
