Devs3cups Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 1 hour ago, SterioDesign said: Zacha will be the last of a long line of bad drafting by Conte. McLeod we knew he wouldn't be much as the drop of talent was considerable after the 10th pick. I remember not caring much by the time we drafted cause we knew there was nothing exciting. As usual a few later picks became something but that's always going to happen. Overall it was a pretty weak draft that year. McAvoy, Chychrun, Girard and Debrincat are the only one worth mentioning really I still haven’t given up on Zacha. I’m really hoping (and somewhat confident) that Zacha can figure things out in Binghamton. Mcloed I was always pretty low on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't pan out well And i'm also not fully giving up on Zacha but at this point it's clear he won't be a big impact player which is what we all hoped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice in Bing, but we have seen plenty put up great numbers in AHL and then little to nothing in the NHL. I will believe it when I see it is all I am saying.

It's two games, not enough to make me confident. Add to that the fact that he's playing in the AHL, where at least 50% of the guys will probably never make an NHL roster. And he still hasn't scored a goal, he should be lighting it up. Three assists in the AHL doesn't make me confident of anything. It's the same thing as when he was in the NHL: people like him and feel he was drafted high and are willing to engage in wishful thinking despite the actual evidence in front of their faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question essentially was what gives the impression that Zacha can figure things out in Bing and the answer was his evident production thus far. That's all I'm saying. I'm not extrapolating that out to tell you that he'll be a 2C in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that indicate to me that he'll figure anything out? Not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Am I crazy to think that Zacha should be expected to put up like.. 2PPG at this point in the AHL? Or am I getting greedy. He's not that far off after only 2 games, I suppose. Though, yeah, some God damn goals would be nice..

devlman Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Man, I am so pumped for Bratt’s return. I really think his absence has been understated and that he’ll be an improved player over last year. Just what the second line needs.

He should, but 2 points per game is not realistic. 1 certainly is, 1.25 maybe, anything beyond that is doubtful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
