Roster Building thread - Part IX - (2024 edition)

[IDvsEGO]

The answer is, and always will be, Phil Tomasino.

Shane Wright too, but Drury and Francis aren’t ready for that yet.

Im actually with you on both those.
I think Francis sells low on wright at the draft though.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Perry is a no brainer at the moment. Our bottom 6 is atrocious. We need someone who can do something on the 3rd line. Wheeler, Goodrow, Bonino, Brod, Leschansky. Good f***ing lord.

If you can get him for a million, you do that as fast as you can.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Nah Trouba’s wife is about to give birth.

He’s trading his pregnant wife, what a heel!

 

[Rangers in 7]

I wouldn’t be thrilled with a deal centering around Othmann for zegras but at the end of the day you have to pull that trigger

Leschansky

Don't know why I chuckled there, but I did

Overdrive talked about Zegras’ terrible habits today. And we’re cised to bring that cat in? Get serious.

 

[Alluckks]

Once upon a time a flashy center that couldn't really put it together consistently after a few years in the league was made available in a trade by Ottawa.

And this board hates him. Not a good comp though.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Zegras depends on the package. If you’re getting him at a discount, you go get him. If they want full value, it’s not the right move in-season

J.T. Miller had warts as well. Look what he's become.

If we can get Zegras and a stud dman for a first round pick by all means.

I'm pretty sure you're the only person around here that's ever cised. =P

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Zegras is a 22 year old 60 point center, top 10 pick, local NY guy, makes exciting plays. Fits the profile. If you can get him without giving up Laf and Perreault you do it. The problem is salary cap.

Is he really a center though?

 

[pld459666]

One thing that is pretty much certain for the foreseeable future (baring injury) is that the Panarin - Trocheck - Laff line will not be broken up.

Nor should they

All three are having career years.

There is obviously something there.

I'd expect Gallant or Quinn to make that level a mistake.

 

[pld459666]

Ducks fans love Zegras, its going to be an overpay if we get him.

Good thing Ducks fans don't get to approve/decline trades

 

[GENESISPuck94]

He's taken over 1000 faceoffs at the NHL level.

Yeah and we need a guy who can play around the net and put pucks in it. I dont really care about his age or foot speed. Tenacious player too, even though hes a terrible fighter

 

[RGY]

Taking faceoffs and winning them + being good at the most demanding position on the ice are two different things.

Perry forget we don't need to add garbage
bold: general concern we should care to avoid

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Zegras has taken almost 1300 faceoffs in the NHL and he has a 40.8% win percentage. He's also hurt for at least several weeks. Not sure if folks discussing making a move for him as being an offseason move?

Faceoffs are just one part of the game for a Center.

I like Zegras. All I am saying is, does he ultimately become a winger. Is he better suited there. And if thats the case, are we about to pay a pretty penny for him and he ends up playing wing here.

I wouldn't think he would move Trochek or Zibanejad to wing so unless he's a 3C, he's a winger.

In saying that, he could very well be a play driving winger.

In saying that, he could very well be a play driving winger.

And assuming he's not part of the trade, and healthy, having Chytil back at C we could use another winger

Definitely an offseason move though, if at all.
