Even if he isn't a physical player his size provides a benefit against smaller players. His wing span alone is an advantage and was obvious is some of his highlight packages. How will that lack of physicality translate when he plays against bigger and more physical men and that wing span is minimized? We need to find that out. He's an enticing package but lots of players with enticing packages have flamed out in juniors. Of all our prospects his D+1 will be the most interesting to watch unfold.

Also, I think Zary is doing just fine.
Agreed. I think Zary is one of our best prospects and should challenge for a position this fall. I would put him in the top four (Honzek just behind him).
