I just don't think the Habs bypass Michkov to take Reinbacher and then move Reinbacher for Zegras in any package. I'm not at 100% that this does not happen but I am high. Maybe 75% or 80%.
You're not going to like this statement but Zegras/Reinbacher could be our next Drouin/Sergachev trade. Not saying Zegras turns into Drouin (not probable) but it could back fire on the Habs by trading Reinbacher before getting to see him play in the NHL. Think about how high the Ducks were with Drysdale and then consider the comments if fans tried to trade him before he played a game in the NHL. It's risky
If Zegras performed well at the WC's, I'd have higher trade value for him. I really didn't like what I seen and I was expected a fresh change and him to bring it more. As time moves forward, I think he is gravitating to be a soft but very skilled perimeter type. I know you don't agree but there are trends indicating that.
If Zegras was the stud you are trying to get 5th OA value for, I think you would have already locked him up for 8 years and avoided the bridge.
