Even if he is traded, we need to start being competitive at some point in the near future. This is year six of not sniffing the playoffs with no end in sight. How many times can Verbeek "reset the rebuild" before we're acknowledged as a perpetual joke of a franchise?
And in this scenario we trade Zegras for... what exactly? Someone who might be as good as him in 2-3 years? We just traded a valuable asset in Drysdale to get more "potential" forward talent in a 19 year old kid, and then we... get rid of actual NHL forward talent? None of this make sense unless he's actually demanding to be moved, which I have heard literally nothing about.
I agree - not that I buy that there are any insiders with their fingers on the pulse of our management and that these rumours are probably nothing but at some point there needs to be problem solving done beyond just acquiring futures and trying to tank for a high pick.
