And so is your assessment of him
Zacha is a reason the Devils PK is 3rd overall and he has a 3-game goal streak.
He just scored on you today...
I'm not saying write him off or give up on him. I'm also not saying he's completely useless. But without 5th overall pedigree he should and would be seasoning in the AHL which is why the Devils sent him down earlier this season. Because he just isn't quite at the NHL level and would benefit from having some playing time to get his offensive back to what it was when they drafted him.
Out of that top 10 in 2015 he's the only question mark still on that board. He could easily figure it out, like we believe Virtanen has, but he definitely still has a long way to go. His vision on the ice in the offensive zone is low, but he can score a bit I guess.
He's not NHL calibre right now, but that's okay. I'm also not a Juolevi fan and think he isn't NHL calibre either so I'm happy he's not in the NHL right now
