Zito is a genius. A second and a fourth, while not weakening Charlotte. Sourdifs windows just didn't align with the cats. He'll be NHL ready before there's a spot for him. You really don't want to do them a disservice and put them in a bottom six roll, when that's not been their role his entire career, you want to give the kid the best chance to succeed, which is a top six roll with some decent line mates, he was not going to get that chance with Florida there was just way too many people ahead of him. He will have a legit chance to make the NHL, either next year or in 26'/27'.
