Profile Contributed By: Leslie Treff
History
Zaborsky, plays left wing and is a native of Trencin, Slovakia.
2005-06: Zaborsky appeared in 49 games for Trencin of the Slovakian Junior League in 2005-06, recording 49 goals and 27 assists with a +59 plus/minus and 20 PIM for the team during those games. After being highly recommended by one of the Rangers' European scouts, he was selected in the 5th round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
2006-07: After an impressive goal scoring display at the Traverse City Prospects Tournament in September 2006, Zaborsky spent the season with the OHL Saginaw Spirit. Clearly an offensive threat, he had a tough time getting ice time on a very talented team. Nevertheless, the winger recorded 43 points in 59 games.
2007-08: Zaborsky decided to remain with his OHL team for the 2007-08 season, rather than to move to the professional game without an NHL entry level contract. He is currently on the team's top line and among its leading scorers.
Talent Analysis
A natural scorer, Zaborsky has excellent hands, wonderful on-ice vision and good hockey sense.
Future
Zaborsky has the ability to be a second line NHLer. He will need to continue to develop consistent play and a mature attitude to make the leap to the top levels of professional play.
