Agreed on Zary's supposed skating issues, I went to a few Wranglers playoff games and was pleasantly surprised with his mobility. It's the first time I've seen him in person so I can't speak to where he was at when he was drafted but he sure didn't look slower than his peers.
I was also impressed by his individual skill and grit, he seemed confident trying dekes in 1v1 situations and pulled quite a few of them off. If he were to get a full season with the Flames I feel like he could put up comparable numbers to Newhook IMO, 30 points in 82 games seems like it wouldn't be a stretch for his first season. I hope he has another strong camp.
