As the New Jersey Devils move through training camp, the opening night roster begins to take form rather quickly. Among the many x-factors on the current roster, one player sticks out most, both for his size and situation. That player is Pavel Zacha.
After scoring 34 points in 37 games, Zacha earned himself the sixth overall selection in the 2015 NHL Draft. As GM Ray Shero’s first draft selection at the helm, Zacha was intended to be the team’s bona fide first line center of the future. While it’€™s still too early to tell on that front, Zacha’€™s play has certainly passed the eye test.
