What are your thoughts on Zacha making the step up this year?
I thought he had 1st line potential, but was stuck playing mainly depth roles last year. Do you forsee him being a solid fantasy contributor?
Thanks!
Yes. He's stayed in New Jersey all summer and has been using a new training regimen, people in the know say he's in fantastic shape. He was a strong PP contributor last year and should see more ES icetime with Zajac's injury.
With Zacha it's all about confidence. He was not very good early in the year, but then he scored against Minnesota and the floodgates opened, and he became a brand new player. He'll be snakebitten for stretches, but once he gets going he's quite good.
I'm projecting ~15 goals, ~25 assists, 35-45 points this season with a lot of them coming on the PP. I would recommend picking him up in a deep league, though I wouldn't count on anyone on this team outside of Hall giving you reliable game-to-game production. I don't think I'd consider Zacha an every day fantasy option at this point in his career but he has sleeper potential.
