Speculation: The Athletic-“So, it’s easy to imagine a scenario in which the Ducks move on from Zegras..."

[lwvs84]

Maybe a good 2C right now at 22 years old, but I don't think he's even close to hitting his potential as a top line playmaker. He's only had 2 1/4 seasons so far, he's far from complete. He could still absolutely turn out to be a #1C, but regardless his future is not as a second line player.

Sorry, I should have clarified... right now, if he didn't improve he's a 2C. At his absolute floor. He should get better though

 

[ole ole]

Yeah. I'd go for a Jets' 1st + '25 2nd + Harris/Ylonen/Norlinder/...



Well Hellebuyck heavily implied that the PLD trade convinced him to sign back on with the Jets.

Ya i would to but i believe that some other team would beat that offer and i understand the Ducks wanting and getting more .
They want our 1st or one of Slaf/Reinbacher in the deal.
I wouldn't offer up any of those 3 pieces let alone add.

 

[HabsAddict]

Playing NHL2000 now but here is my offers....

Zegras...our 1st top 5 protected. If Lindstrome is available then no. So basically 6 to 9 pick. Possible Harris/Struble/Barron depending how Hughes sees him.

Frost...late 1st and one of the extra defenseman. See above.

Kakko...early 2nd which we don't have. I don't care if he is a 2nd OA. That ship sailed.

Kaliyev...closer to late 2nd Hughes would know better.

If we dont draft this year but solve our top 6 with multiple trades, I'm good.

 

[FiveTacos]

It's not Dubois's performance that destroyed LA chance for playoff. It's his personality that destroyed the team.

If that's the comparison, then please explain why the Ducks play significantly worse without Zegras.

 

[bossram]

Problem is ANA have no intentions of selling low and i know only of one Hab fan who is willing to give up 3-1st rd picks for him. The rest of us are have no interest in parting with 3-1st rd picks for Zegras. None what so ever.

You see, that is where the word if comes into play and why I used it.

There's no if ands or buts when it comes to that.

 

[LuGBuG]

That's my point. Zegras doesn't move the needle. In fact he probably makes the Habs worse. We can't afford anymore soft one-dimensional forwards. We need big, strong forwards like Slafkovsky and Dach.


hahahaha. Dach one-dimensional and soft - you are clueless. At least Caufield is producing. Newhook doesn't have an overpaid contract like Zegras.

Zegras is exactly what sinks contenders. Habs made the mistake with Drouin and won't make that mistake again.

Go peddle your mentally weak, soft, one-dimensional liability somewhere else@!

This is the worst take I’ve seen yet. Then you compared him to Dubois. You actually are so confident with such little of a clue that it makes you dangerous.

 

[Pat Riot]

If Anaheim said zegras is available to Montreal for

Montreal 1st(top 3 protected)
Winnipeg 1st
And a 2nd
I think Montreal would take that and run so fast, to the point that making that 2nd a prospect or another 1st isn’t a crazy ask

Montreal 1st top 5 protected . I would do that trade. Honestly what are the odds of drafting a better or equal player as Zegras with those picks. If Demidov or Lindstrom are off the board I hope Hughes can work his magic and get the deal done

How can you be so wrong about Zegras. Its comical at this point. Did you ever watch him play?

 

[Prettyisland]

I think zegras rubs old school heads the wrong way. That being said you don’t get 60 points by sucking. Between that and marketing potential he should fetch a fair deal. Once again the truth lies in middle of both hyperbolic analysis of a young player

 

[Leafsfanperson]

There is always a guy like Zegras on the trade market, always a 'superstar' winger that is a trade waiting to happen, I wonder when GMs wise up to that if that type of player doesn't fit a playoff run or compliments a great core that their are pretty much disposable.

But pv hasn’t said it or anyone close to the ducks. the rumor only started after drysdale was moved and people saw click bait opportunity because both players were young not drafted by PV and camp hold outs.

 

[Gliff]

I don’t understand how this thread is still alive. It’s people saying Zegras sucks and they wouldn’t trade anything close to his actual worth and Ducks fans saying no. Can we close this? lol

 

[Ducks]

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Glad someone said it

 

[LuGBuG]

But this can’t be!!!! I’ve read bad things in Facebook comments and twitter threads! He has to be selfish, a bad teammate, and suck defensively! He just has too!

People just enjoy talking down on a player they want.. the fans bashing zegras the most, also have a 16 page thread about zegras on their sub forum(not to mention the trade thread being constantly about zegras)

 

[JianYang]

You forgot the other part of the quote..... "if the right deal came along".

Well no shit..... another fluff peice.

 

[HuGort]

How about old fashion 3 team trade. Matheson to Tampa, Sergechev to Anaheim, Zegras to Montreal?

Most overated in the league as per his peers

only 13 people in the league said this, and one reason was because he was on the cover of EA NHL lol.

I find it amusing Montreal fans trying to tell ducks fans what’s he worth… after reading monohan threads for two years.

Habs fans were right in what Monahan returned though

 

[Volica]

Flames will likely have multiple firsts and a new stash of prospects.

Sort of makes sense on their end to go deep on Zegras.

I'd honestly rather keep Matheson. Plus he has a ntc and I can't imagine he'd waive to go to the ducks
