ZAR has 2 goals and 4 points through 3 games with WBS so far this year. He actually may be even closer to NHL ready than I thought, I think he might be a very safe bet to be a bottom-6 forward as soon as next year.

Add another assist, he has 5 points in 3 games. Freakin Zach attack.ZAR has 2 goals and 4 points through 3 games with WBS so far this year. He actually may be even closer to NHL ready than I thought, I think he might be a very safe bet to be a bottom-6 forward as soon as next year.
Don't even remember him touching the puck on his assist. Thought it was kicked in and should have been disallowed but whatever. Only remember seeing him 2 times last night. Once he tried making a stop by the end boards and absolutely ate it so he took a header into the boards. He was also yapping with TJ Brennan after the whistle in a scrum. Skating looked quite poor in person.ZAR has 2 goals and 4 points through 3 games with WBS so far this year.

i expect nothing less from a Flyers fan like him tbh.
ZAR is looking fantastic so far, small sample size or not.
Yep. Wasn't good at AHL level.Hoping it works out for obvious reasons, but I have serious reservations about his ability to skate at the next level...I want to see him in the AHL before the season is out to get a better feel...
Looked most comfortable on PP. Seemed to be best below the dots.Nothing positive to say?

Where would he fit though? Our forward group is crazy full as it is.
Sheary - Crosby - Guentzel
Hagelin - Malkin - Kessel
Rust - A #3C - Hagelin
Wilson - Sundqvist - Kuhnhackl
Rowney - Archibald
And then there's Sprong who while I do not think will make the team out of camp, should at least challenge for a spot.
Simply put, ZAR would have to be extremely good to have much of a chance to push someone out of the lineup. Realistically (like Sprong), he'll have to wait for the inevitable injuries to occur to get his chance.
Not 5 points?

What's a better judge of how he will turn out, a 3 game point sample or an analysis of his actually hockey traits?Yeah, he got the 5th point after I looked at the game sheet.
Well seeing how he's putting up a 1.66 PPG while playing on the top line in the AHL, I'm seriously questioning your analysis of him. He's a Hornqvist type of player, so he shouldn't be exactly wowing you with his skill.
Exactly. What a stupid decision by the guy. You'd expect better risk-reward analysis from someone who went to college for 4 years

I expect Sundqvist to be a 3C and the Penguins to look to get some help defensively.
