C Trevor Zegras (2019, 9th, ANA)

[ValeriKamensky]

Seems like Kyle Turris is a more realistic comparison for Zegras, isn’t it?

Not really...

I think Barzal especially as a junior player

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I think he's got a bit of Marner in him.

 

[The Sweetness]

Does this guy move his feet well when time and space are limited against high level competition.

Based on highlights it was the one thing that stuck out as a potential issue. He really likes to glide out there.

Great passing, awareness, edges and handles though. If he develops physically (he looks pretty physically immature) I won’t be that surprised if he ends up as the best forward from this draft five to six years from now.

 

[Favin]

its going to be Hughes at 1, Kakko at 2, 3-6 Podkolzin, Cozens, Dach, Byram in some order.

Very little chance that those 4 players 3-6.

Cozens could fall outside top-10 and Dach outside top-15.

That may be your personal opinion of where they should be drafted, but NHL GM’s opinions were voiced on the McKenzie list. I think there’s a slight chance that one of the NTDP players will take one of the 3-6 spots, otherwise I think it’ll be those four in the 3-6 spots.

Dach outside the top 15? Come on now...

 

[GetFocht]

absolutely zero chance that RH offensive centers with size will slip out of the top 8. Just look at Barrett Hayton picked 5th last year.

Logan Brown?

Logan Brown?

Did you miss that Pierre Luc Dubois was picked at 3rd when the media consensus was Pulujarvi at the time.

Yeah and Nylander went before Brown. Your argument is just not valid.

Centers and defenceman are valued higher in the league, it doesn't necessarily mean that a team will draft every center or defenceman first without evaluating them first but it doesn't negate the fact that centers and defenceman are highly coveted over wingers.

You were talking about zero chance.

 

[Favin]

Dach outside the top 15? Come on now...

Dach is decent. But plays slow, upright. Chicken legs. And slump-prone.

Someone may jump...doesn't mean its right.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Zegras is super flashy, really good hands. Likes to handle the puck & of course great passing+vision. But I wonder how his game will translate.

He's more of a perimeter player, & he's not much of a threat to shoot. He seems to lean towards making the flashy play more often than not.

Personally I have Newhook ahead. Good playmaker aswell, but a better scorer & not as much of a perimeter player.

 

[cgf]

Really hoping this kid is an Av if we're going to try to solve our longterm 2c hole with #4. Thankfully his longer timeline should prevent the Hawks from taking him 3rd, so Joe will have the opportunity to do the right thing.

 

[Adtar02]

This is who I hope falls to 11. I have wanted him on the flyers for a while. Perfect prospect to replace giroux and his passing skill in the future.

 

[Orca Smash]

He should be taken by pick 4, I say this every year and will love to revisit this one to see who is right, but he just has to much skill, hopefully the correctable negatives some discredit him for means he somehow makes it to 10 where van is picking. Not a good chance that happens, but it is possible. His rankings are all over the map, from 4 to 12 on some lists.

 

[losangeleskings]

If Byram and Turcotte are both gone, this guy is my pick hands down.

I dunno about that. I feel like the hawks would pick Turcotte over him if they go C, because he'll be ready sooner...and they could go with Byram at #3 to. I'd pick him (or Pod) 3rd, but he should be available at #4 come draft night.

 

[Frk It]

Saw this today and it made me think of this:


Kid tries a lot of cheeky stuff, but so did some of the greats... he is a very polarizing player to rank for me.

[Monsieur Verdoux]

There is other stuff too than just that Jack Hughes question.

 

[TruGr1t]

My only question is if he goes before, or after, Cozens and Dach. I'd wager they'll be 4/5/6 in some order.
