GDT: Draft 2024 @ 4pm PT, ESPN, ESPN+

[PuckProspects]

Wasn't a fan of the Sennecke pick would have taken Demidov but Solberg is a fantastic pick exactly what the ducks need. Physical big skating RD.

Emily Kaplan just said this on ESPN, FWIW:
“I just don’t think that this kid (Solberg) is gonna be on the roster at the same time as Trevor Zegras. Trevor Zegras is not staying around that long. We all know they’re trying to build a team with a certain identity, and Trevor Zegras’s style doesn’t fit that. He’s better suited elsewhere and I do think a trade is inevitable. I just don’t think it’s imminent. That’s the sense I got talking to Pat Verbeek. They’re gonna take their time.”

Wow, Emily just made it sound like it’s a matter of time before Z is traded. Hard to know what to make of that

there's not to make of it.

 

[Bender66]

Yawn

im sure Pat has told her he intends to trade Zegras. it's all nonsense

 

[gilfaizon]

Left hand Radko.

 

[goonsaredumb]

Left Side Radko Gudas sounds mighty fine to me

She says a lot of things. I don’t understand how Zegras’ style doesn’t fit. GMPV constantly stresses hockey IQ and work ethic…Zegras has both in spades.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

This ESPN broadcast is awful. Chayka and Buccigross are at the bottom of the list of people I want to hear analyze prospects

 

[Boo Boo]

Yeah she’s really the first person to finally crack the verbeek code

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

I hope to God he trades up for Solberg

Trade 31 + 35 for 20 plus one of NYI’s 2nd after VGK take Eiserman

Thank you God!!!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah, she talks like her and Pat sit around talking Ducks hockey like she’s on the team staff. Just another hack who doesn’t know shit but pretends she does.

 

[HanSolo]

This Solberg pick kinda made the initial meh of the Sennecke pick worth it.

He's someone I liked around 13-18. Awesome to pick him up.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I don’t want the Ducks to trade Zegras and I generally don’t think they should but I also think it’s somewhat naive to completely discard that comment as complete and total nonsense or drivel.

just like everyone knew who Pat was gonna draft? or how everyone knew Pat was gonna trade Drysdale? no one knows what Pat is gonna do so thinking Emily Kaplan knows for a fact that Zegras is gone is nonsense

I didn't even know they were doing prospect interviews in the left corner of the stage area. Saw a bunch of orange moving in the corner of my eye

Agree to disagree.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

This board needs to get it through their heads that Z is likely headed out at some point via trade. I’ve never seen a group so adamant that something won’t happen and discounting every single report. As much as you want to think they are, these insiders aren’t attaching their name to something they’re just making up

Okay to be fair I do think one of our amateur scouts is a little leaky with carlsson and sennecke being leaked early but trade wise our organization seems air tight

just like Gibson was bound to be gone for the last 3 years? sometimes insiders just say shit and hope it's right, but with this team and trades it's usually not right.

That hasn’t stopped them before lol

In my opinion the narrative had just taken a life of its own and it’s just easier for broadcasters trying to fill dead air to talk about zegras trades than it is to discuss how mctavish needs to tune up his consistency or how Mintyukov needs to work on his passing-shooting bias

Which credible source has stated he’s being traded? It’s all your clickbaiters like Seravelli and Kaplan who have no history of insider knowledge with the Ducks by my recollection. I 100% believe teams are calling about him and GMPV is listening, like he should be, but that doesn’t mean he’s being shopped or will be traded. Zegras is the most polarizing player the Ducks have ever had, so being in headlines is new for this fanbase.

When did Luc become completely gray?? Holy

Its not that is a sure thing. Its the fact there’s smoke from multiple insiders saying this is real. These talks are real.
