A little bit surprising.

Seems almost any time hf seems a player will get claimed they do not.

Maybe he made an edgy joke in minecraft 12 years ago?

 

[vokiel]

Gauthier clearing comes with no surprises. I'd rather convert Arber to a winger if need be.

According to recent information from journalist Shayna Goldman of The Athletic, the Montreal Canadiens are identified as the first team on a list of six potential teams to which Trevor Zegras could be traded.

It's a pretty easy and obvious angle... Serves clickbait interests of the publication and the links btw Zegras & MSL/Caufield/Hughes + Hughes '19 draft affinity + Habs roster needs & timelines...

Story writes itself & like PLD, will persist until he's signed to his first long term deal (in Anaheim, here or elsewhere)

Not keen on the idea of RyJo, but swapping Allen for him with the Avs paying a nice sweetner (at least a 2nd or similar prospect), makes a ton of sense for both sides... Especially if the Avs are in on Henrique or any other middle 6 C upgrade

I really hope not.

Zegras would make a lot of sense for this team. I don't understand why people say otherwise.

I feel like he is overrated and a bit of a tweener. He definitely has skill, but not enough to be a true franchise/star player so i would prefer to save my money and pay up for a true top liner.

Cause our fan base is allergic to offensive talent and then complains about the lack of talent.

Geoff is that you?

Because the likely cost is high for a soft, one-dimensional player.

As you've seen there's talk about the Habs having to trade their 1st for him. Habs first is very likely to garner them Cayden Lindstrom, or Ivan Demidov (hopefully). Both project to be better than Zegras. Both would be under team control longer, too.

The majority of us aren't against it, we just don't want to pay the price for that type of player especially when the Habs already have a soft, one dimensional player in Caufield.

Can you link that?

 

[Junohockeyfan]

So, what can the Habs get for a package of:

Habs 1st in 2024 + Peg's 1st in 2024 + Justin Barron + Christian Dvorak (cap)?

 

[morhilane]

Because some people here don't just watch highlights or base their impressions on player's draft year and draft ranks.

 

[Team_Spirit]

They don't have the balls to send him to a big market, even if the offer is better.

Zegras will end up in Columbus or wtv

A Subway sandwich if you ask on the main board.

I can't agree with that. Zegras oozes talent and everything he's done so far suggests he will become an elite player. He was drafted 9th overall, he became Team USA's all-time leading scorer at the World Junior Championship, he went over ppg as a 19 year old in the ahl, and he had b2b 60+ pts seasons as as 20/21 year old in the nhl. That resume is pretty much as good as it gets for a player who isn't elite yet at the age of 22.

If Lindstrom or Demidov are available, then I don't think we would trade our pick for Zegras, especially considering they are projected to go top 6.

shayshay has called a bunch of stuff IIRC, so this frightens me. No thank you to Zegras.

Last deadline she called a bunch of stuff, but I don't believe it was anything major. I'm pretty sure she said some stuff afterwards that didn't come true.

 

[EveryDay]

I like Zegras but not for our own 1st this year.

He could look good in our top 6 imo.

 

[The Great Weal]

I mean if the Ducks are willing to accept Jets 1st+Mesar+Barron for Zegras then sure, but they aren't getting our 1st or Hutson/Roy/Reinbacher/Mailloux.

On a separate note, if the Avs add a center, I wonder if we could do an Allen for RyJo+ trade.

 

[sampollock]

Ryjo is ?
Sorry

Aha I see. You are expecting him to improve. Personally I am not, but I can respect your opinion. In any case it would be exciting if we got him because he certainly has the razzle dazzle!
