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.
