“I’d also heard that he’d been asked to submit a list of teams and initially he had only one, and that was Anaheim.
“I believe as several of you have reported today, including Roger Millions, that he’s expanded that list a little bit.
“I think there’s a lot of interest. I think probably about half the league at some point has checked in on him. I’ve reported in the past Boston, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, I believe Tampa. I think Chicago is in on there too, although it’s always tough with them because of their cap situation is so tight. I could even see a team like Washington potentially being interested.

“We’ve talked to a few teams on Zack, but listen – we know that Zack’s a unique player because it’s hard to find players with size and with skill and the hands that he has, so we’re not looking to move Zack. We want to just keep working with him and keep getting him better and hopefully he turns out to be the player that we all think he can be.”
