2025 NHL Draft Discussion

[57special]

I don't think Zegras has had a single strong game against the Wild in his career, and he also looked really bad at the WCs under Guerin last summer. Not fast, low compete, loses puck battles, and bad through the neutral zone are all things I have seen in his game that I bet Billy has noticed too. They tried the Boldy - Zegras combo a bit to get Zegras going during the WCs and it did not look effective.

great observation. Forgot about that those games. I would guess that BG would be more interested in McTavish than Zegras.

I don't see a good trade with Anaheim

Kick the tires on Boeser if he comes cheapish?

Zegras

Oof.

Buy low is a good idea.

I'm not sure Heidt+1st is really buying low in this case.

ANA would want Rossi for Zegras.

Yuck.

 

[AKL]

Oof.

I'm not sure Heidt+1st is really buying low in this case.

For what he could be and what he was two years ago before the injuries?

It's a high risk high reward move, Heidt and what should be a mid-late 1st wouldn't be that much to give up.

I understand not wanting him, and I said at the start that Guerin wouldn't be interested in him, but if you were interested in him, 1st and Heidt isn't that bad.

Late teen, early 20s first and Heidt is pretty low for a young talented forward. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...
