The New Jersey Devils were universally lauded for choosing Pavel Zacha 6th overall in 2015. After his first full season in the NHL, he needs to show vast improvement next season.
Pavel Zacha is one of the many very good young players the New Jersey Devils have in their system. Coming into last season, he ranked 34th on Hockey’s Future, 35th on ESPN and the 10th best rookie by USA Today. There was a lot on the line for the Devils, who were expecting a lot of development from a 19-year-old Czech.
