Player Discussion Trevor Zegras : Part III

[Lord Flashheart]

Pfft Zegras had 88 this year. lol

That's why he's outraged.

 

[Leonardo87]

LOL, Z with the reply..

 

[Kariya 9]

I kind of get where Sopel is coming from a little bit, but the end sentence of him... kicking kids out if they show skill, lol.

Anyway, check the comments, Zegras is already in there

Scum

 

[KelVarnsen]

I love Z’s comment to loser Sopel.

Umm, Brent Sopel once lost a fight with a cookie.

Most Embarrassing Injuries in NHL History with Video

Injuries are a huge part of hockey and NHL action and sometimes players injure themselves in an embarrassing way. Sometimes a player trips over their skates, misses an opponent lined up for a big hit or they just flat out embarrass themselves...

Who among us hasn't lost a round or 2 with a cookie?

But besides that, what is it about Zegras that make over-the-hill nobodies feel like they have to commit assault? What are they trying to prove?

Stumbled upon this video about Zegras from Des in some podcast. It was posted 8 months ago.

I'm telling you, he's generational at being an annoying little shit. Throw in that he also seems to be goodhearted and well-liked in the room? 1st ballot HOF shit-talker.

My favorite part is he literally isn’t doing anything right now…. Not even signed a contract and still got random nobody tilted

Thanks for posting that.

Interesting comment in there about Zegras working on the things he wants to . . . Will be interesting to see what impact Cronin has.

That video and story make me even more bummed they traded Des.

The takeaway from that to me was that they talked to him about coming in and putting in extra work and then he did it, didn't give anyone a hard time about it, and was still doing it even after Des left.

Feel this is a good time for a Zegras highlight..

NHL just tweeted...

Too much hot dogging. Overrated. Deserves to be assaulted.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

That little snap shot he has is filthy. He is going to be a superstar with a decent team around him

I just love the comments, this is why I don't post on twitter anymore. Just use it to get news updates.

Hit shot is sneaky good. Him and Carlsson should feast on a line together in a few years

 

[Kalv]

Yeah but have you seen Brent Sopel highlights?

I could watch those all day every day.

I could watch those all day every day.

Comparing LotR extended edition trilogy to a short story trailer.

Soooo, should we be worried about Z and Terry still not having signed contracts?

 

[All Mighty]

Not really. We can start worrying about Terry if he still hasn’t signed a day or two before his arbitration date (August 2). For Zegras (and Drysdale), it would only be concerning if they aren’t signed by the start of training camp in September.

Sorry, I should have clarified my line of thinking a bit more.

I know for Terry it's the arbitration date in a general respect. Sometimes you see players signing super quickly. In this case, I'm more wondering about the mindset of both and Verbeek's position.

- Does Verbeek want to play hardball to get exactly what he has in mind? Does he want to sign them for less or more years than the players prefer? Does he want to pay them less than market value?

- Where are Terry's and Z's heads here? Do they want to be in Anaheim long term? Do they think they might eventually want to go elsewhere? If so, are they then asking for higher amounts, less term, etc.?

I know we don't have actual answers here, but this delay in signing has me a bit concerned.

 

[AngelDuck]

Terry will be signed by the end of next week IMO. Be very surprising if he wasn’t. Hoping for a 7 year deal in the 7-7.5 AAV range.

I also think Drysdale will be signed relatively soon(prior to mid-August)

I definitely see Zegras lingering so buckle up there. Hope I’m wrong but I think it goes into September

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

I really believe that there's a deal in place with Z, Terry, and Drysdale, but Pat is doing his due diligence and trying to move Gibson and doesn't want to get it on ink and paper until that is done.

Moving Gibby has huge implications both on the ice and on our cap space.
