Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

[Terry Yake]

We shoulda moved Cam the moment he made that ridiculously soft play in the playoffs vs nashville.

Pagnotta talking many players but what he said about Zegras was most interesting. Said “it’s no secret he wouldn’t mind a change of scenery”. Ends it by saying if a deal doesn’t happen at the deadline, look for it in the summer, “unless he has a change of heart about wanting to stay in Anaheim long term”

News to me.

It's the Bobby Ryan situation 2.0.

Zegras wanting a changing of scenery is not something that is "no secret". sounds like more BS from the media to push a Zegras trade into reality.

If this organization is actively pushing Zegras out the door then there is absolutely no hope for this franchise.

When I hear “it’s no secret” to me that’s just pagnotta regurgitating second hand rumour milling and filling in the gaps with whatever seems right to him to spice up his interview. But you never know I guess maybe z is gone by next year after all

regurgitating second hand Montreal information most likely.

I can’t wait until the day when we’ve locked in our core to long term contracts. It can’t come soon enough.

 

[JonathnTaylorTavares]

Can easily believe it may be, atleast partially, true at this point

 

[Arthuros]

I'll believe it when I see it, especially coming from Pagnotta.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Pagnotta is trash. A broken clock is right twice a day. And I’m not someone who is like never inclined to believe rumours but I don’t see it here. Z seems really happy to be back under normal circumstances this year.

Same. I don’t see how it’s some outrageous news. Maybe the reason “ why doesn’t verbeek back him in public” is because it’s zegras who wants out

Just really doesn't check out for me. The dude seems genuinely upbeat and passionate about the team and teammates in every situation I've seen him in.

The fact that P says "it's no secret" gives away that it's not based on anything new. So it's a regurgitation of a regurgitation of a regurgitation of an exaggeration of a speculation. That's a lot of smoke, but still zero credibility.
