Sather Talks to Zuccarello's Agent About Rangers Return

Found March 06, 2013 on NY Rangers Blog: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Glen Sather
TEAMS: New York Rangers
2009-nhl-entry-draft
Yesterday, I posted that Mats Zuccarello's KHL season ended and that it was likely the Rangers would be reaching out to him shortly. Well, last night Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record confirmed that Glen Sather has in fact spoken to Zuccarello's agent about a possible return to the Blueshirts... “We have already talked to Glen about it,” agent Don Meehan said in an e-mail to The Record. “We will wait to hear from him.” Apparently, Zuccarello is looking for a one-way deal that extends two to three years. This would ensure an NHL salary even if he's demoted to the Whale. ...with the way the Rangers are going, I'm not necessarily convinced that the Rangers need Zuccarello right now. Who is he replacing in the line-up when Richards & Asham are healthy? Makes no sense for Zucc to play on the fourth line so those guys are safe.

Hamrlik Claim Could Effect Zuccarello Signing

Via NY Rangers Blog  |  March 07, 2013
Larry Brooks at the New York Post says that the Rangers’ waiver claim of defenseman Roman Hamrlik will make a contract offer to Mats Zuccarello more problematic. Under league rules, each organization can only have 50 players under contract. Hamrlik represented the Rangers 49th player. Which means if the Blueshirts sign Zuccarello, they could be severely hamstrung at the trade...
