I think that it could take a few days between interview and publishing of the interview. Things could change.

GM of Magnitogorsk said: "Zuccarelo signed contract with us today. We talked to him during NHL play-off to find out how serious is his injury. We canceled negotiation after he was healthy, ready to play NHL play-offs. We did not want to disturb him. He was not added to NYR roster, so we followed on negotiation TODAY. He got our offer sheet a few days ago, we had verbal argeement (before we canceled negotiation), he signed contract immidiately after NYR finished seaseon"

Seems weird to announce a signing in that case, because that only says that he'll play in a specific team if he decides to join the KHL.
Especially since he apparently wants to stay in the NHL.

He's looking for a one way deal, puts pressure on the Rags to either sign him or trade him if they want something back.

The interview is from this afternoon, hard to argue against that.

I think the Russian way of doing business is a little different than we're used to...

That's because in KHL, contract signs you.

Brad Pitt will not autograph in blue ink because it can be transferred.
Thank TMZ for that bit of info!

All he's saying is that he won't play in New York next season.
