I personally think Zary’s PPG in his draft year in the WHL suggest plenty of upside. Pronman wrote the following about Zary:
“Zary is a very entertaining player, as he’s one of the most skilled players in the draft. His touches with the puck are very quick, he’s extremely creative and he can beat defenders clean consistently. He had numerous moments this past season where he pulled off a highlight real-caliber play. Zary is a very smart offensive player. He can make the seam passes and find teammates very well, but also makes plays happen through unconventional ways.”
I agree that MEP looks like he could be another late round gem.

That 2018 draft was solely saved because of our 6th and 7th round picks - Mathias Emilio Pettersen & Zavgorodniy.
- Hamonic trade cost us round 1 & 2 picks
- Smith trade cost us us round 3 pick
- Stone re-signing cost us round 5 pick
We drafted three other guys in the 4th round that aren’t trending as well as the guys picked after them (Pospisil, Koumontzis and Roman).
