He’s an important piece towards a National Title. Makes the team better/more depth. Play him. 

Greatly improves the PK

I almost rather have Zakreski take a red shirt

He is already 20 years old, will he stay around that long if he already has his degree.  I would imagine he could have a career playing overseas he might want to start.

Would like to see him and Croal together again and another option on the penalty kill.  Don’t need extra wear and tear on Swanson with his dual play on the power play.  More chance of Swanson to get outmuscled as well. If we can get Zakreski up to speed, could definitely use another dog on bone penalty killer, and player in general.
