Well, I hate to be "that guy" but Zary has not really been given the opportunity to prove what he's capable of. The only "NHL" forward he has skated with during this preseason at any point has been Walker Duehr, and that was for just nine minutes of five on five time. It's kind of headscratching that a first round pick whom is coming of a good AHL season wouldn't at least get a look with some skilled NHL talent during preseason.
He's flashed his skillset (his PP goal) in the brief opportunity he has been given.
