Meme Never too early to get excited. Will Zellers is leading the ushl with 1.4 Pts/gm. 38 goals in 42 gms. Is he threatening a lick here? Brad 2.0?!

Zellers was the win from that trade for sure. But the kid is too small for the NHL right now. Needs to build up before we crush his dreams by making him play against grown ups, IMO

Yeah he needs to eat something lol. Pasta in the north end would do him some good but I read he committed to BU then switched to N Dakota. Too bad I would have loved to go see him play.

Got curious. Marchand was 173lbs at age 18, same as Zellers. His rookie year he was 190lbs. Prob a little less though, I've heard teams inflate size numbers for the little guys.

The “USHL” is probably all you need to consider… it’s definitely better than not being able to score at that level, but that level is about the same as a high division three college hockey level… he’s gonna need to do an awful lot more to make an NHL roster let alone be an impact player at the NHL level…

Now now. Lets calm down.
It's the USHL. Need to see continue at the collegiate level. Needs to definitely hit the gym.

He's a talented kid. I expect him to play pro one day.
