I think Zucker is going to be good. He just needs time

Haula's play this season makes me hope that they hang onto Zucker. If Zucker had the defensive awareness of Haula, he would be a regular and the thought of he and Haula together on a line is intriguing. The speed of those two could cause major problems for teams. So, it wouldn't bother me too much if Zucker is kept in Iowa because he still needs work on his defensive game.
But the NHL is rapidly becoming a very fast league. I'd hate to see the Wild let go of guy with great speed and a great shot so early. There are several examples around the league of teams patiently developing guys in the AHL only to have them be pretty impactful once they get to the NHL.
