I also think he's a dynamic enough talent that the Flames, stylistically, need to adjust to his strengths. It's felt like he needs to match up with Huska's system, where I think there should be consideration to adjust to his game and let him be the guy they drafted.

Feature him on the powerplay. Don't just give him an audition. He should be running the PP, full stop. Everything should run through him.

For even strength, the high forward will need to have their head on a swivel on an entirely different level to let Zayne's roaming style the freedom it needs to be successful, IMO.
