The 2020 NHL Draft will be October 9 & 10, conducted remotely. The Calgary Flames have a first round selection and will pick 19th overall. In advance of the draft, we’ll be looking at some contenders to be selected at 19th.
Today, we’re taking a look at a high-scoring, left-handed centre from the Kamloops Blazers: Connor Zary.
Scouting report
Zary is a prairie boy from Saskatoon with NHL-ready size. At 6′ even and 180 pounds, Zary has the frame of a prototypical skilled number-one centre. And that’s exactly what he was for a very good Blazers team in 2019–20, as the pivot of an excellent top unit with overage playmaker Zane Franklin and finisher Orrin Centazzo.
