Simon Zether is a calm and mature forward in the SHL, demonstrating solid defensive intelligence with effectiveness in puck battles and positional awareness. Despite needing to heavily improve his intensity, Zether has shown unexpected offensive tools, particularly in transition. His composure under pressure stands out; however, a more aggressive, risk-taking approach could unlock new heights for his potential.
