Coyotes Take a Gamble on Jason Zucker

The Arizona Coyotes signed forward Jason Zucker to a one-year, $5.3 million contract.
Zucker's performance declined two seasons ago but rebounded last year when he scored 27 goals and 48 points.
The Coyotes paid a premium for Zucker's contract but see him as a valuable addition.
Zucker surprisingly opted for a one-year deal though he is talented enough for a longer contract.
Zucker can help the Coyotes reach the salary cap floor and may be traded at the deadline.
