Am I wrong in seeing some similarity between the Trevor Zegras situation in Anaheim and the Seguin situation in Boston? So long to Duchene and replace him with Z? Not sure where to start on a trade offer other than a 1st...
I don’t know. A difference is the Bruins signed Seguin to a big extension (at the time) but we’re going to have to trade someone before it kicked in. They picked him because he was still a young guy playing a depth position on what they thought was a Bruins team in the prime of their Cup window, so he became their cap dump. The funny thing, of course, is they probably would have had more success had they kept Seguin and traded one of the vets ahead of him on the roster,
The Ducks don’t have to make a move. They have no cap problems, so a trade won’t be as easy to pull off.
Also, Seguin broke out when he got to Dallas and was put on the top line and given #1 PP time. Zegras has already been in that spot for a while. If anything, coming to the Stars would mean a reduction in ice time and PP time. But this is the unknown, right? Does a good player on a shit team see a boost when he goes to a better situation? Or is Zegras not playing up to expectation part of the reason they are a shit team? I have no idea.
