What is poor about it? Worst I can find is a mention about his stride being a little hunched over, but that his speed is good, his edgework is good, and his acceleration is even a strength...
Criticizing skating without any specific context is weird.
Skating
Zary is a good skater, if somewhat unconventional. His stride can be a bit short and choppy at times, but this doesn’t seem to take away from his speed. He is still above average in terms of his top-end speed and he reaches that quickly with good acceleration. Zary also has very good agility and edgework. This helps him to get around defenders, both with and without the puck. Strong backwards skating also helps him to play a 200-foot game. Zary has a strong stride, that helps him to fight through checks and get to the dirty areas of the ice. It also helps him to work along the boards. If he can improve his lower body strength, this will improve even more going forward.

Sounds like the Emile Poirier complaints of skating. Said to be a poor skater but he was quick as hell
