The signs were all there... my dad texted me at 2:25AM from a layover in Reykjavik on his way to Norway for a Norwegian cruise. Then the Ducks draft a Norwegian in less than 24 hours.
When did Luc become completely gray?? Holy
This whole Zegras thing started from Seravelli who lied through his teeth about Gibson saying he’d never play another game for the Ducks last offseason. He then started the Zegras rumor after he completely missed seeing the Cutter trade coming and this is the guy who supposedly has a bunch of contacts in Flyers organization. 95% of these guys just make high probability guesses and then claim to be geniuses when some of their shit finally sticks.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
Actually, most of them are. Other than Seravelli, they very clearly say that Verbeek has said he isn’t offering, and there’s always a “in my opinion this is why this makes sense” - meaning it’s conjecture, not actual reporting of facts. Verbeek might trade him for a lateral move at a different position, but those trades simply don’t happen unless it’s a struggling player for a struggling player. He’s not being traded for quantity.This board needs to get it through their heads that Z is likely headed out at some point via trade.

Marek! nice
Its not that is a sure thing. Its the fact there’s smoke from multiple insiders saying this is real. These talks are real.
If Zegras doesn't fit your identity, it's incredibly flawed.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.”
What a horrible take by Emily Kaplan.If Zegras doesn't fit your identity, it's incredibly flawed.
You win with multiple types of players. 154 points in 211 games in your early 20's on some of the worst teams ever is exactly the kind of guy you want when you're ready to compete.
I'm trying not to lol. This thing hasn't been around long enough for that shit to be happening lol.Welp now I've noticed the dead light panel on the Sphere I'm not gonna be able to stop staring at it
Nobody believes he can’t be traded. It’s the nonchalant bullshit dropped by people like Emily who talk like they have real inside info but are doing nothing but trying to sound knowledgeable.This board needs to get it through their heads that Z is likely headed out at some point via trade.

This. And if we track the rumors to their source, it all started right after Drysdale got traded and the underlying philosophy was "Ducks traded Zegras' best frannn"Nobody believes he can’t be traded.

I have no problem with people on podcasts or elsewhere speculating why players might be traded from any team. But that’s not what’s going on here. She literally tried to imply she had conversations with Verbeek that leads her to believe Zegras will be gone soon. Do you really think he has had conversations like that with media people? I certainly don’t. Her comments are just typical media sleaze trying to make themselves sound knowledgeable and important. That’s what I object to.
I suppose that means we arnt trading up to get Emery/elickI'm sure it means absolutely f*** all but Verbeek is the only one who hasn't been back at the Ducks table since Solberg got picked.
He may have had the chili last night.I suppose that means we arnt trading up to get Emery/elick
He may have had the chili last night.
