His father, Doug Zmolek, was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars in the first round (seventh overall) of the 1989 NHL Draft and played eight seasons in the NHL (1992-2000) with San Jose, Dallas, Los Angeles and Chicago.​

Even the best college free agents are often fringe NHLers so no, probably not. Seen Bemidji fans on Twitter hoping he’d get just an AHL/ECHL contract so probably telling. This seems to be up the Hunter McDonald alley.

Right handed

Nope.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Our first Bemidji State signing since Matt Read?
Looking at their list of their current pros, they also produced dmen Zach Whitecloud and Brad Hunt. Zmolek is a real overager though and is turning 24 next month.

I don’t see that as a connection.

I guess it’s right-side not right-handed.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I remember his dad.

I support "Z" last names.

That's a bad thing?

 

[Striiker]

That's a bad thing?

When it’s all they have, yes.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Is it irony that he’s from Minnesota?

Is it parody? Satire?


I don’t know what any of these mean anymore thanks to chuck.

 

[Curufinwe]

Very meh signing.

Very meh signing.

Very meh signing.

Fletcher finding value in the meh-gins.

You should pick up big defense first defenseman as late round picks and free agents, when you start using high picks for them the opportunity cost is larger.

So I have no issue with McDonald or this signing, you're more likely to develop these types into capable 3rd pair D-men if you're patient with them.

Not a lot of upside, but no cost either.

But note that Kalynuk is bouncing around the AHL, so going for "skill" late in the draft doesn't seem to work out very often, with someone like Bratt the rare exception (and now that GMs understand player value with the new rules, a player with his profile probably wouldn't make it out of the top 100 ).

Reading the contract more... This is a AHL this season and AHL/NHL next... So really looks to be a waste of a contract spot that could go to a younger more skilled player out of JR...

McDonald is actually looking like he might be a prospect for a 6th rd pick.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Another useless add by Fletcher that for some reason is still doing stuff

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Has the Flyers website or pro shop made jerseys available yet? I want to grab one before they sell out.
