I suspect that SA wants a mix of skills. Zalewski had some speed to go with his size, but such players are hard to get for non-elite teams. It does sound to me that for his development he should move on next season. Academically it may not be the correct thing.
JB scored the first and last goals of the game. Briefly, if you are expecting him to be a forward that flies up and down the ice, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for someone to set up in a position to score, somewhere near the net, this is your boy. He is a big kid, but he seems to play even bigger when kids his size try to move him. Seems very strong on his skates. If I had to pick on one thing, perhaps could use some work on his skating and quickness but he is like trying to move Gibralter. Then again, he is not facing NCAA sized players yet.
