It would be interesting to see Zary tried as the centreman between Huberdeau and Sharangovich.


In that video of all 39 Kuzmenko goals from last season, Pettersen was doing a lot of the setups. Maybe Kuzmenko would work better with a player like Kadri who will carry the puck, gain the zone, and open up shooting lanes/put the puck near the net

Zary is no great shake in the face-off circle, either. When Kadri gets tossed, it's Pospisil who steps in.
