Provost Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) The Zucker situation keeps getting more dicey in Minnesota. It seems like he may get moved on sooner rather than later. After being openly on the trade market since last deadline, he just called out his coach... which rarely goes well. This comes on the heels of many reports from the summer of him wanting to be where he is wanted. https://www.tsn.ca/minnesota-wild-s-jason-zucker-calls-out-bruce-boudreau-rest-of-team-after-loss-1.1382994 I can see some teams swapping players. I think Zucker would look good in our top 6 and we have expressed interest, but I bet a team like New Jersey is more motivated to make shake up moves.

mll Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) It's Fenton that wanted to move Zucker - Guerin is now in charge. Guerin was even quoted saying that Zucker is safe. Zucker is one of their few players who can skate. Their team is far too slow. With how their roster is constructed a few trades is not going to turn their season around. They've wasted the returns for Niederreiter, Coyle and Granlund - Fiala, Donato, Rask don't look to be a solution in Minnesota. They need Zucker more than ever. If anything Zucker should be traded for picks and prospects so they can do a proper rebuild rather than this failed re-tooling tried by Fenton. LeBrun just had a lengthy Q&A with Guerin: Edited October 19, 2019 by mll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RRypien37 Posted October 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2019 Far from a "call out" of the coach. He is addressing the team as a whole and their poor play of late. Can't stand the media, but I guess it is their job... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens he was just a guest on Zucker's wife podcast today. In here he says Zucker went to apologise to Boudreau on the plane. Boudreau didn't see anything wrong with the quote and didn't feel targeted. It was just a quote saying everyone needs to be better. Zucker had criticised himself too. Russo insists that there was no malice and that Zucker was not calling out Boudreau. He is also positive that Boudreau sees no wrong with the quote.

FutureFilm Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It seems more like a call out of the whole team...this Wild team has issues. Def a bottom 3 team in West the way they are trending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I took at at his calling everyone out, including himself. Given how Minny's done thus far it's pretty understandable. Minny's a mess in a tough central division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Can you imagine if LE called out his whole team (even if it includes himself) rather than just his comments about Green? CDC would blow up. But it's nothing to do with us, so it's no big deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild are one of the most unluckiest organizations as of late on top of being poorly run. If they were 1st and went to 4th i'd doubt they'd be surprised.

That's a good question tbh, would they say the same thing again like, it was just taken out of context, due to the translation, he didn't mean it like that, he really likes the team.....
