Pavel Zacha is the most polarizing New Jersey Devils player on the roster. Part of it has to do with the fact that he was drafted 6th overall in the 2015 NHL Draft. Mikko Rantanen, Matt Barzal, Zach Werenski, Brock Boesser, Kyle Connor and Timo Meier were all still on the board when the Devils chose Zacha. At the time, experts were split on the Zacha pick, but everyone agreed if he could put it all together he’d be a great two-way player and possible number-one center.
Zacha has not put it all together.
