Damien Cox at the Toronto Star says that Mats Zuccarello-Aasen, the diminutive winger who played for Norway at the Vancouver Olympics, has apparently decided to sign as an unrestricted free agent with the New York Rangers after several clubs were interested in bringing the Swedish league scoring champ to North America next season.Steve Zipay at Blue Notes says the 5' 7", 160 pound winger is smaller than Brian Gionta, but is an incredibly speedy playmaker, not a huge shot but can play the point on the power play.
Zipay adds that nothing has been confirmed by the Rangers.
...great an under-sized European who probably plays no defense. He should be in Torts dog house after the first week of training camp.
...having said that if he can become another Brian Gionta, I'm in.
...h/t to everyone who e-mailed me links on this.

Go on youtube and check this dude out...if nothing else he looks like a highly skilled guy who is pretty sick on the shootout.
I'm a Norwegian sports reporter and can tell you that Zuccarello is as hard working as he is offensively gifted. You've got something to look forward to!
