100% agree with Phillips and Zary.. I worry about Matthews ability to avoid the hits sometimes, he can dance around AHLers most of the time but occasionally gets rocked, and that may happen a little more in the bigs.
Zary has really grown on me now that I'm seeing him live night after night.. smart and skilled and he has a lot more gravel than I realized, truculence, if you will
I think he could really elevate his game on the 3rd line with Backlund
Zahorna has benefitted from playing with Pelletier and Phillips, being the big body while those two maneuver, kind of like Ruzicka previously...
I'm liking Kerins as well, but think he'll need a few more months or even this whole season with the Wranglers. He's been a real spark these 2 games, skating well and finishing his checks, when he scored last night, I really wished I'd chosen to wear his jersey
