hockeywoot Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He could potentially be a bottom 6er in the NHL. Good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought he was one of the better Canucks prospects at Penticton. He does a lot of things well, but nothing spectacularly which means he'll likely be a solid 10-13 minute a night guy in the NHL who can post 15-25 points. That would be a pretty solid career for a guy who went undrafte, and I think Zalewski can reach that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think he has potential to be a 2nd/3rd line tweener type of player. He's fast and got some good hockey IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2SKATES1STICK Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Higgins 2.0, hopefully. Kinda not tho eh. Higgins was an ivey leaguer and a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Kinda not tho eh. Higgins was an ivey leaguer and a first round pick. I'm thinking its a playstyle comparison which is fair enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'm thinking its a playstyle comparison which is fair enough to me. I see his upside being around where Matthias is now. If he reaches Higgins level, then this signing was a damn good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Big 4th line winger with decent skill, hits, blocks shots. Can fight if needed but doesn't go out looking for it. Potential: Steve Bernier (with Devils) Steve Bernier is a bad name around here, but he was a very good third line player (in the same way as David Booth was last season). Zalewski might score 10 goals, 20-25 points but won't be a top 6 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He looked solid in the prospects tourney buy he made at least one bad give away that I saw. At 22 years old this is his year to show what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 This guy can't finish, get him a skill coach. His hockey iq is there, his positioning is there but my god this guy can't finish. Therefore, he won't ever crack the NHL, he needs to learn to finish more so he can be considered a good 3rd line guy at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Phooey Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 He's coming back! He's built pretty good. Could turn into a 3rd or 4th liner Glad that the Canucks have kept Zalewski in the organization using an AHL contract and instead of one of the 50 NHL contract spots. I suppose this is one of the benefits of owning their own farm team. If Zalewski proves to be developing into a useful player, then the Canucks can release him from his AHL contract and sign him to an NHL PTO. Easy breezy. Does anyone know anything about Marc Olivier Roy? He's a 20 year old that wasn't offered a contract by the Oilers. He seems to have good QMJHL numbers (regular season and more importantly playoff numbers), and was a second round draft pick a few years ago. Any one know his story?

hobart16 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 So glad they signed our hometown boy Mike Z. He improved all year, maybe more than anyone else on the Comets. His possesion play and play along the boards came way up. Open ice he is nothing special and he took a number of bad penalties, though they were errors of commission, not omission. The thing he definitely does is get to the right spot. He has enough size and enough speed that you notice that out there, but it is true the finishing needs to come up. If he gets his finish going he is a definite NHLer. Still a very good prospect and I think he was smart to stick with the Canucks. If he takes the same strides forward he took last year he is a top 6 Comet by the end of the year. Obviously being in Travis' system again will help him as I think Travis had more confidence in him by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Mark Caswell, Jr. @MarkCaswellJr 18h18 hours ago Michael Zalewski has three goals in his past four games, he had three goals all of last season. #Comets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobart16 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 He has taken another big step forward this year. PP time, PK time and scoring some more goals. He must have worked on his skating over the summer because he is really noticeable out there on the forecheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
