Absolutely. 10 goals 20 assists with heavy PP time. You can forcefeed points in this league. 40 points isn't some magical achievement when Zajac plays as much as he does. Put Josefson between Hall and Palmierifor 82 games. By sheer proximity and osmosis, he will compile points. Zajac has the softest numbers on the team because his numbers would look dreadful with less talented wings. He wasted Jagr too since he's an average offensive player at best.
Jagr scored 67 points as a 41-42 year old with Zajac, so I'm not sure how Zajac WASTED Jagr that year.
This is not even good for a laugh anymore, please save face here.

One of his best seasons over the past decade playing with Zajac, but some how Zajac wasted Jagr. I actually lost brain cells just reading that post.
Meanwhile for a little levity...
Didn't catch a single second of today's game, completely forgot they were on. Who looked good? Who looked bad?
The explanation was even better though....One of his best seasons over the past decade playing with Zajac, but some how Zajac wasted Jagr. I actually lost brain cells just reading that post.
Like I said, this explanation was even better. How many frickin points did you expect 41-42 year old Jagr to score than 67 that year? Did you really expect the guy to score 80 points that season? Seriously? I don't even....He did that in spite of Zajac. Jagr could have had many more assists after setting up #19 time after time. Jagr was a dominant possession player that year carrying Zajac's corpse. Those misses are emblazoned in my memory. He's simply not a good offensive player who is far too mechanical. The fact that people think he is somehow some invaluable player is scary. When Zajac is finally traded, exposed or dropped to down to 14 minutes a game, I will be content as a devil fan. He's our Tyler Bozak.
I see what you did there!You have to go all the way back before his retirement to find one better.
Bennett Blandisi Zacha Severson Merrill Moore had good games.
Prout Pietla Coleman Schneider were Meh.
It's not Zajacs fault we had zero organizational center depth. When McLeod is ready in a year or two he will take ofer that 2C role and Zajac will be on the third line and hopefully Zacha or our top pick this offseason will take control of that 1C spot.
Zajac has been a good Devil and the hate he gets from some fans is nonsense.

I think everyone wants to see him get pushed down the lineup. That means we have a better roster and everyone will be happy when that happens. Looks like that will be soon with the emergence of Zacha , hopefully McLeod and maybe a high draft pick this season. But until then Zajac is our best center. Thats just the way it is. And always to his credit he never takes a night off, plays phenomenal defense as a center and puts up respectable points. He gets way too much hate.Zajac seems like a great guy. I'm just Zajaced out as a devil fan. I'm tired of watching him play so much. He'd probably be loved as a 3rd line player given his abilities.
You've posted nothing substantial to dispute anything that has been said.
Bergeron is a career 0.75 point per game player, Zajac is 0.56 points per game. Bergeron is better defensively, but the gap isn't that large. You don't seem to comprehend what the light version of a player is.
Zajac seems like a great guy. I'm just Zajaced out as a devil fan. I'm tired of watching him play so much. When someone plays as much as him in puck oriented situations, the warts really stick out. He'd probably be loved as a 3rd line player given his abilities.

Another Zajac argument? Good lord.
