Fabian Zetterlund

Is this because of this slapshot?

I mean, look at that shootout goal. Fabian Zetterlund has a rocket. It’s just a ridiculous slapshot in the shootout. Those are the types of skills Zetterlund brings to this franchise. It’s a rocket of a shot and a skill set that the Devils don’t really have. That’s mostly because Zetterlund is an extremely unique player who still needs a lot of seasoning. If he gets to a point where he needs to be, he can be a special player.

The Devils will need forwards before they will need defensemen, so Zetterlund should get a somewhat early shot. He’s big enough to play in the league, has some skills that would translate well, and he’s such an anomaly it might be an advantage to the Devils.

Zetterlund also plays wing, so the Devils could slot him in when a winger eventually gets injured. He only has one point in the B-Devils first three games, but there’s a good chance the Devils still want to take a look. He’s not ready to be an everyday player, but making his NHL debut is likely on his agenda while he grows.
