Larry Brooks of the New York Post: The burning question remains. Should Mats Zuccarello get an encore on the main stage at MSG? As much as there is a love affair from the fans to Mats Zuccarello, the forward may not have as much of one toward management. Remember, management designated the winger trade fodder for much of the season. There are some hard feelings.
Plus, if Mats Zuccarello re-signs in Dallas, New York gets a 2020 first-round pick. If he does not, New York gains a third. Why compete with oneself in a rebuild?
