Mats Zuccarello, the 37-year-old forward for the Minnesota Wild, has confirmed that he is solely focused on next season as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract. He expressed a desire to continue playing only if he feels capable and valuable to the team, emphasizing the importance of fitting into the team's plans moving forward. Meanwhile, General Manager Bill Guerin is optimistic about securing a contract extension for star winger Kirill Kaprizov, whose injuries limited him to 34 games last season. Kaprizov's ability to contribute 23 goals and 27 assists, despite the setbacks, highlights his value to the Wild and the organization's intent to keep him long-term. Guerin emphasized the strong relationship between Kaprizov and the coaching staff as a positive sign for negotiations.
