The games I saw Zboril play in Providence.....I think he is ready but just needs to get a decent run of NHL minutes
He can skate, retrieve pucks and transition pretty damn well....and does it in a way where you almost don't notice him jumping out, but he's effective. I just think it's part of the maturation proces - not every player is McAvoy and ready at 19. I would not label the kid a bust by any stretch, its a process
Bjork, Frederic, Studnicka, Senyshyn - need one or two of these guys to take the next step and become a contributor this year, even if its after the midway point in season
Lauzon, Vaakanainen, Zboril - need one or two of them to do the same and establish themselves
