Zegras type deal ... someone who can have high upside and be a top 6 guy
Zegras has a lot of skill , now that hes under performing would be the time to make a deal not when it would cost an arm and a leg. We'll have plenty of energy 3rd line guys. He might even end up being a 4th liner
When he comes I hope hes better than we all think cause we need it . But when i see larkin raymond nygard danielson kasper buchelnikov finnie lombardi plante+potentially a top 10 pick this year +if we retain a debrincat longer +berggren Rasmussen + whoever else mazur can easily end up being on the 4th line someday
Zegras is a coach’s nightmare.
Can’t play defence and if he isn’t scoring he’s a complete liability.
Again I’ll re-articulate on the “professional stickhandler” because that’s all he is.
I think the team just has to be patient with the transition of the younger players who are almost ready to graduate. We shouldn’t be spending 1st round picks right now unless it’s on a real 2C, or try to make a move with a team like Ottawa or NYR who’s said to have been looking to shake up their core. Take advantage of a situation like that VS spending assets on one of the most overrated players I’ve seen in years (Zegras)
