From Randy Sexton, Penguins Director of Amateur Scouting:
“We have a very specific style of play that we like to play. We like defensemen that are mobile, have great vision and can move the puck. Obviously defending is important, and Zach fits that bill. He’s a tremendous skater, got great vision, he moves the puck well. He’s not as offensive-oriented as other people, but he defends very well. Highly competitive, he’ll fit right in in Pittsburgh."
From HockeyNow.ca:
Smart defender who likes the rough stuff and get involved physically. He will use any necessary means to clear his net. Has the ability to skate the puck out of the defensive zone and join the rush on occasion. Will get himself into a good position to shoot and look for a lane to get the puck to the net. A more defensive defenceman than most give him credit for.
