22 or not the dude doesn’t care 1 iota about defense, playing a team game, etc. People grossly overrate him because the league continues to run his 2 highlights. He was voted the most overrated by the players for a reason. No im not just fixating on that vote either.
Yea, no. We are trying to win a cup. Not babysit young players who play the wrong way. 5 years ago, sure make it happen. Now? Nope, stay away from the team
We're not trading a roster defenseman unless we get another D man coming back. You need a spare guy you can trust as injury insurance. TDA has played quite well lately, which gives me more confidence in him playing that role than I had, but we don't really have anyone behind him.
Yep, honestly wouldn't be shocked if we double dip with the Caps and do Edmundson and Patches at the deadline from them, then someone like Duclair from San Jose to add a bit more punch.
Strikes me more as an off-season move so you have the full camp and season to see if he can learn what defense is.
like the strategy but how do we fit everyone in? roster players have to go the other way due to us carrying so many goalies. I believe the max roster stays at 23 post deadline.
I could have sworn the roster expanded after the deadline, just that it had to remain cap compliant.
Have to have the room to absorb excess before the deadline. 4th line TT seems vulnerable to me but would have value somewhere else.
that is a good point. They just lost one option as Kochetkov has played 61 career games, which means he’s no longer waiver exempt.
Could easily get another depth dman if they did it but I don’t think they will. Just saying if they are looking for hockey trades is makes some sense
Puts up two 60 plus pt seasons as a 19-21 year old, but he’s grossly over rated with only two highlights.
I think he’s way too smart to not get it. The Ducks had undoubtedly supported him being who he was the first couple of years. It puts fans in the seats. Now they’re trying to change up their style which may make Zegras available, and teams should absolutely give him a shot. I think he’s had a pretty rough wake up call. They went from celebrating him having fun on the ice to wanting him to be Rod in pretty much one season.
Its cool that he sold out for offense to score and didn’t play defense or a structured game. That isn’t impressive.
They all aren’t going to be Iginla. The team itself didn’t have structure or play good defense. Why is that all on Zegras? Do you watch them a lot?
the team overall isn’t good at defense. Zegras is another level. It’s not all on Zegras but what is his play. No need for that here. He isn’t a center and we don’t need a 1 way only winger.
