Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming that Zajac is or will be a franchise player which I agree with you should be held in the highest standards and I also respect your opinion as one without prejudice. I only disagree with your assement that Zajac doesn't have the ability to revolve into a franchise player down the road.paxtang said:I say that NOW, because I think saying FRANCHISE anything is a pretty damn high thing. I think very few guys are franchise players. I don't think Carter can be a franchise player, and I don't think Zajac can be a franchise guy, regardless of how much I like him.
I mean we know this; Zajac played in a much less competive league than his draft counterparts, which is one of the reasons we were lucky enough to grab him #20 overall, in fact we can say it's safe to say that if Zajac played in the juniors he would have probably gone much higher.
When we first drafted him all I had to go by was the scounting reports of him and what I read the first player that came to mind to me when it came to comparing Zajac was Mike Modano which I still see as a pretty good comparison, but someone on our site had even a better comparison and that was Kirk Muller.
