It hasn’t exactly been easy sledding for Jakub Zboril.

He’s a guy who, for many people, will forever be defined by his draft year (even though he was picked in line with many pre-draft rank- you know what, never mind).

His development has been slow, relatively steady, but stunted by injuries - and this year was no exception.

After playing what was inarguably the strongest NHL-level hockey of his career at the start of last season, an awkard collision in a December game in Nashville resulted in a torn ACL for Zboril.
