Wild allow veteran forward Zuccarello to depart in free agency to L.A. Kings

The Minnesota Wild did not offer Mats Zuccarello a contract, leading him to sign a 1-year, $1 million guaranteed deal with the Los Angeles Kings, including $5.5 million in incentives. Zuccarello, who had 15 goals and 54 points last season with the Wild, expressed chemistry with Kirill Kaprizov, and Wild GM Bill Guerin regretted delaying the decision to move on.
