Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

Why include Terry then?

They probably either put a lot of weight on last year or used only last year's productions to exclude Zegras.

The point of the article is based upon "star" power to change franchises around and production basis. Hampus continues to get dinged for not having a high offensive output despite providing top pairing defensive D-man.

They mention in the writeup that Zegras has aged out of the parameters for future stars and that it probably means the Ducks are shorted a bit on their future value.

Ahh so he’s aged out of future stars but doesn’t quite fit their present star parameters either then?

Why include Terry then?

Terry is a proven quality player. Zegras is not.

I know everyone loves Zegras, and he has a ton of potential. But two seasons ago he put up 60 points with such abysmal defense that most of his offensive value was negated. Last season was injury-riddled and mediocre when he was on the ice.

I believe that a healthy, motivated season can get him on the star list, but it's not hard to see why he was, quite reasonably, left off.

I'm starting to feel like drafting Boldy instead would have been a better idea. Z isn't as effective at wing and Boldy would have been a great fit.
