C Trevor Zegras (2019, 9th, ANA)

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Don't think so, I think if Ducks had 3rd pick they would have took Zegras. He is everything the Ducks are missing, he's electrifying.

Maybe.. but I have a hard time thinkin theyd pass on Seider(and wasn't it said somewhere we were going to take Broberg at 9).. I guess it depends if we just assumed Zegras wouldn't be there at 9 tho.

Is Mitch Marner a good comp for Zegras?

Every time I see Zegras play (which I admit has been limited) his electric playmaking ability reminds me a lot of Marner

Just was curious if I was in the minority on that one

Teravainen would be closest comparable in the NHL today, but he's really doesn't have the creativity Zegras shows.

I think Marc Savard is a good historical comparable.

Somewhere between Barzal and Kuznetsov.

Kuz/Barzal

 

[William H Bonney]

5 primary assists through 5 periods so far at the WJC

All while playing less than 10 minutes per game. For some reason, Sandelin thinks Zegras should be 11th in ice time among forwards.

 

[quackquack]

He’s like a Kuznetsov Barzal hybrid imho

What's with this US Coach?

 

[William H Bonney]

What's with this US Coach?

He thinks Jack Drury is the best forward. Onward!

Zegras dominating against some German 3-4 lines (Division B level talent) does not impress me much. Against Canada, he was invisible outside the power-play.

Nice PP specialist, though.

 

[Orca Smash]

I was back and forth with him and byram at number 3 on my list. Was annoyed the ducks grabbed him one spot before the canucks. The late jason botchford claimed he was the canucks guy the same way pettersson was.

He barely played... That's probably why.

He was invisible because he barely played....

that coach is something else.

Terrible take

 

[Kalv]

I have yet to see a player dominate the game from the bench

But to some degree I agree, want to see him perform in some more pressure. That puck control on the pass in Canada game is a positive sign though.
Have to give credit to Germany though. Thrir lower lones might be Division B level, but their top guys are amazing. Germany will be good in hockey for years to come.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Why is he barely playing? USA hockey every once in awhile will have a completely moronic coach obsessed with grinders and it looks like they do again

 

[Trinstin]

He thinks Jack Drury is the best forward. Onward!

If he can be anywhere near as clutch as his uncle, I don't blame the coach.

 

[Peasy]

Already has 7 assists in the tournament.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Already has 7 assists in the tournament.

And all of them are primary

USA's best player so far. Dynamite on the PP. Would like to see him shoot more but who can complain when he keeps piling up the apples.

He wasnt invisible against Russia today.

Good ol boys club strikes again.

 

[mazmin]

Love Zegras. Saw him with US Dev program and ranked him 3rd in his draft. Special talent, reminds me of Joe Sakic style wise.

Lining up perfectly to be a Getzlaf replacement.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Gonna be a real good one. Liking him a lot more than Turcotte thus far
