Passes every test you could ask for. Effort level, eye test, his compete level, his metrics. Just needs to find his offensive consistency over a season. We know he tried to play through an injury to start the season before they shut him down.
I had also heard he did get hit pretty hard with a sickness and lost some weight in the midst of the season and had trouble getting back up to speed and fitness which is when Lindy either had him playing on the 1st line or none at all.
He will find his consistency offensively over a whole season, he is too smart and too talented not to.

I don’t think he’s ever been a guy who scores on the rush, and he does loose races to the puck, but he seems able to account for that in his game. Not worried, he’s already a contributor to wins.
He used to score a ton of beautiful goals in juniors but I don’t think speed is the thing keeping that part of him down. Not sure why he’s not able to score more.

Did anyone see the Sabres recent little vid about basketball? It really gives you the feeling that Zack annoys the guys in the room as much as the opponents on the ice
Not in a bad way
