Not a chance

 

[u2wojo]

Ehlers and Murphy have 10 team no trade. I would guess Winnipeg is on Murphy's and Chicago probably is not on Ehlers lists. If Ehlers comes with a rational framework of an extension in place, I could live with this, but I view Murphy as a negative asset, like Ehlers, love McGroarty's fit/style of play and was really disappointed in what Reichel looked like last season

Zegras a trade target, but move may wait — The Fourth Period

Trevor Zegras is open to a move, but unless a team pays a premium, the Ducks will hold on to him, reports TFP's David Pagnotta.

www.thefourthperiod.com

Ducks GM Pat Verbeek has set a very high price for Zegras, and several teams have continued to communicate their interest in the 23-year-old.

At least eight teams have expressed serious interest in Zegras, including the Chicago Blackhawks

Chicago is another team I’m keeping my eye on this week. The Blackhawks are looking to add a top-line winger and have a few irons in the fire, beyond interest in Zegras.

haha just came here to post about Pagnotta comments..interestingly enough he is currently in Chicago. I want nothing to do with Trevor Zegras

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Zegras is really fancy Strome hard pass.

 

[Larmer83]

Great comment - really dug into the meat of the argument.

Yep. If someone is trying to be clever, at least know the difference between personal and personnel.

 

[Drumman44]

Can’t see it happening

Ehlers? Expiring UFA? Seems kinda stupid

Forgot to put in that Philadelphia is supposedly shopping Farabee

Not including a 1st round pick

I would include 18. But Ehlers needs a new deal.

 

[JLarucci23]

Would be fine with Zegras. I think once he gets around a guy like Bedard he would get his head on straight. Those two together on a line would be magic. Zegras can dish it as well as anyone in the league and with Connor's shot... Those two could easily be over a PPG.

 

[Taze em]

Zegras is way underrated at this moment in time so as an asset he’s a good buy. But I have no interest in him because I don’t think you win with players like him. He’s like a rich man’s Sonny Milano.

You cant play them on the same line, or it would be a disaster in their own zone.

 

[BHawk21]

Im good with Zegas at the right cost because hes just that talented. Im not sure on the fit with the rest of the roster.

Ehlers age doesnt seem like a fit with only a year left. I dont know why we would outbid some of these win now teams.

Would absolutely love this.

This sounds too good to be true so I have to think it is - not true. At least not as stated. I doubt the Jets do the trade even if the Hawks retain 50% on Murphy. And then there's the M-NTC Murphy has which could bollix it up.

Zegras is ass, and he'll be even more ass in the playoffs

They would play very pretty hockey together I just don't think they would play winning hockey together.

Again Musto I'm befuddled how you can adore Strome and trash Zegras when they're incredibly similar talents.

Right, they're like clones.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I wouldn't say that

Zegras is better skater and has better skillset

He has already had 61 and 65 pt seasons at age 20 and 21

If anything, I think Matthew Barzal is better comp though Barzal is better skater

 

[BHawk21]

Theres not a chance in hell Murphy is going to waive to go play in Winnipeg. Would love to be wrong.

This would be amazing but I have my doubts.

The site that posted that isn’t legit so it’s not something to worry too much about.

That being said I think there would be a chance of Murphy waiving if a Mcgroarty deal presented itself and he was apart of it. He’s made the playoffs once in his career (and that was in the bubble). He probably wants to start playing for something at some point

 

[clydesdale line]

I must've missed Zegras skating to be as bad as Strome to be compared to him.

He is 31 yrs old and never played for a playoff team outside of COVID bubble

If he has any desire to play for cup then that may be his best and last chance

Jets were 2nd best team in West this past year and are primed to compete for next 2 seasons. Hawks are in full rebuild

If he doesn't desire to leave that is his right but then I dont want to hear him utter a single word or how "Frustrating" it is to play on team in rebuild

Sure agree with it all but its Winnipeg.
