The Wild have locked up Zucker with a five-year contract worth $27.5 million.
Analysis: Zucker was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent following this season and cashes in off a terrific 2017-18 campaign in which he set career highs of 33 goals and 31 assists. The 26-year-old should be set up for another productive season in 2018-19.
The Predators have signed Hamhuis to a two-year, $5 million contract.
Analysis: Hamhuis returned to where it all started, as he was Nashville's first-round pick in 2001 and spent his first six NHL seasons with the organization from 2003-10. Though he'll turn 36 in December, the veteran is still a dependable defenseman and recorded three goals and 21 assists in 80 games with Dallas last season.
