Maybe Zegras reads this forum (because his first fight happened after I posted the new nickname lol) and is embracing his new nickname The Greek Ball of Hate and now Verbeek can't possibly trade him cause he see's a young Pat Verbeek in him now.
Player Discussion Trevor Zegras : Part III
- Thread starter Ducks DVM
- Start date

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I’m very happy the Ducks didn’t trade Zegras. I have no idea how many teams really wanted him, but I’m guessing the return was not worth it. Teams don’t want creativity, they want production. And the lack of it isn’t rewarded.
Next year will be a big test for Trevor. I have no doubt Cronin hasn’t helped the situation, but Zegras has to start producing again. These numbers with a real NHL coach, would border on being a bust.
Zegras has to put it together. I still think he can, but I can’t place all the blame on Cronin for his lack of production. Zegras wouldn’t be the first professional athelete to start off hot and never get back there.

Yeah I wanted us to keep Z not because I'm certain he'll put it all together, but because if he does put it all together, I want it to be here.
He has 2 more years to do it. After next year he will be an RFA. I would guess Verbeek will sign him for a year, or more depending on results.
At that point the potential clock might be ticking away if he’s not at 60+ points.
John
If it doesn't happen next year, then the ducks likely move him. You don't want to sign a RFA to a short term deal that leads to UFA. Either the ducks commit long term to Zegras in the next 18 months, or you have to trade him.
You are probably right.
But if it doesn’t happen and Verbeek wants to keep Zegras for another year, it won’t cost much to keep him.

Last 26 games: 18 points. ~57-point pace over 82 games.
