“I like Zonnon. He’s very energetic, a tremendous playmaker and is looking more comfortable as a shooter, too. He’s physical, smart and is an excellent passer who can do some dangerous things with the puck. When he has the puck, he makes things happen in open space. Without it, he creates space for his teammates and he gets himself to the net. It feels like Zonnon has been underappreciated and that he deserves more attention for his work ethic and tremendous vision. He’s the type of player you can stick with other high-end talents and find success. I can see him going 10 spots higher in this draft if a team thinks they can mold him into something they need.”

“While the QMJHL typically allows low-pace offensive players to thrive, Zonnon broke the mold by playing a relentless, physical game that pushes defenders onto their heels and forces mistakes. Zonnon’s hardly a technical expert when skating, but he simply flies around the ice, forechecking hard and disrupting play all over the ice. His offensive value comes from his playmaking, but his intensity and aggression will make him a valuable, 200-foot player who just makes life easier on those around him.”

“The first thing people analyze with Zonnon’s game is his skating. His first three strides are definitely short and somewhat choppy, but when up to speed he arrives everywhere on time and plays the game with detail and intensity. Zonnon contributed 28G-55A in the regular season for the Huskies. He’s deployed in all situations, works to extend plays and is always involved. He’s a very valuable team player who scores as much as he works to keep the puck out of his net.”
