[David Struch]

His ceiling, however, is arguably him topping out as a decent 1st line center. I don’t see him ever becoming an elite talent, unless he takes massive strides on defense, skating, and shooting in a very short time. I feel more comfortable saying he likely winds up as a strong 2nd line option, with a David Krejci-esque impact. I believe Zary could end up being that underrated 2C option for teams and be a dynamic, clutch leader for whatever NHL team drafts him.

Due to him being on the older end of the spectrum in this draft, along with his physical maturity, he could be closer to being NHL-ready then it currently seems. He’s seemingly already made strong strides on the defensive side of the puck from last season into this past season, and if that continues, he could shock a lot of people and be ready in two to three years from now.
