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)
I said I wouldnt trade a top 10 pick in the next 2 drafts .
Yes we have to be patient with our prospects but nothing assures any of them will be anything significant. Zegras started his nhl career with back to back 60-65 pts ... hes struggling on a team as a whole are struggling(he scored a nice goal yesterday btw) ... I think theres a ppg player in there that we can use .. you dont that's fine
Last I checked debrincat and kane aren't these great 2 way forwards. We actually need to score goals to win so we need guys with actual offensive abilities to be on the team
And I dont know what you think you'll get out of ottawa or rangers ... but it's not happening
