The New Jersey Devils still don’t know for sure what they have in Pavel Zacha. They know that he was the 6th-overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft and hasn’t lived up to that selection. It is most apparent that it is looking like that year’s draft could one day rival the 2003 draft as one of the best in NHL history. Okay, maybe Zacha didn’t live up to 6th overall, but he definitely belongs in an NHL lineup as a role player.
There might not be a bigger scapegoat for the fanbase in the last ten years than Zacha.
