Plus, he was one of the few youngsters in camp who looked absolutely overwhelmed against older players.

It is unfair to Zayne, but I'm thinking of the Makar progression from his draft year as a timeline to look at. Makar is the (or one of the) best defenceman in the league and he still took two seasons at UMass before coming in the playoffs. So, I wonder if Zayne has a similar progression where not next year but the year after we start to see him force his way into the lineup.
