If they wanted him to increase his scoring then put him at center where he’s played his best. And why do we need to address the blueline? We did that by moving Fowler and getting trouba; and now we’re scratching one of Zell and Minty constantly.

Just seems like Pagnotta heard the ducks were listening (we knew this and expected it) and just made up the rest.

That guys an idiot, but I wouldn’t be THAT surprised to see Zegras traded in the next 7-8 months. He wasn’t drafted by Verbeek and just might not be part of the end game (whatever that is).

i just think if he’s moved, it’ll be part of a trade for a legit player to fit in our top 6.

Not a trade just for the sake of trading him.

I don't buy the narrative that Pat (or any GM really) cares less about players they didn't draft. He signed Terry to a 7 year contract.

Sure any player could be traded at anytime but I think Z would only get traded if the package was a clear win or if was failing to do what the org asks of him. But Cronin has had nothing but praise for him.

There is not a chance in hell that Pat will do it, but I kind of want Rakell back. Maybe Leo will play with him at 4Nations and spark something.

It’s not the sole reason he would trade him, was just pointing it out.

I think Zegras gets traded because Verbeek prefers a different style of player, right or wrong.

In my opinion, I’m fine trading him as long as it’s part of a package to bring back a player that is comfortably better than him (guys like Pettersson, Tage, Tkachuk, etc)

Yeah I think he definitely prefers a style of player. But I also think he's okay with smaller, skill guys so long as they don't make up the bulk of the team.

I guess time will tell!

I dunno. Fantilli has the style the fits most to what Verbeek wants, but he chose the crafty, finesse player in Carlsson in the draft.
