time will tell us whether or not that's true, it doesn't matter what ppl on HF say (Ducks fans or non Ducks fans). none of us know shit, there's no insiders here
dont take it from me, take it from actual insiders who have said Pat hasn't been calling other teams about Zegras only listening.
you dont know this, you can't possibly know this since Zegras hasn't been in a playoff situation. such a stupid thing to keep repeating as if it's fact
I'm not suggesting that Z is available for anything less then 5th. I'm talking about moving on to someone else and putting 26th and more on the table.
ya but that goes without saying, the GM could have easily squashed the rumors as well by saying he's not trading him
, we'll just see what happens
and the habs gm said he wasn't trading subban, then he did. i dont really care about what a GM says when it comes to them not trading a player cause that can always change. what doesnt' change is the fact that as of now he's not calling teams about Zegras and only listening.ya but that goes without saying, the GM could have easily squashed the rumors as well by saying he's not trading him
for example, when MTL sent Xhekaj down for a training stint after he came back from his injury it was reported by Friedman that Hughes was getting a lot of calls about him, then he reported that Hughes outright told everyone that he wasn't available, a few months later Friedman mentioned that teams were still calling about Xhekaj but that Hughes stance was no different, he still told everyone he wasn't available
anyways convos like this don't go anywhere
Once you’re 23 you’re basically done developing, everyone knows this. It’s all downhill from there
i agree with that overall philosophy in drafts (it tends to get overhyped and values get inflated, we fans do that a lot in particular) but value is still value, in the past when we've had years where the perceived depth has been good the draft ended up being pretty solid in hindsight
Remember when he called out team Canada and delivered big time in the gold medal game and everyone was all over him drooling
It has to do with his contract status vs the yet to be signed ELC of similar or higher value pick.
Zegras rumours we been hearing last 6 months must been true. Reports out of draft Montreal Habs had potential deal on table. Habs backed out when they got similar player in Demidov. Hughes said didn't want 2 of same player.
You must be devastated about the Demidov pick if they are similar and you continually make things up like “lacks heart, substance” etc… about Z. (Spin the wheel of made up stuff)
Actually, the rumor is that the Habs backed out when they got Hage at 21st. As that rumored deal was including that pick among other assets.
Hughes said similar talent. But yes, we are hoping for better character
Zegras would be a nice add, we already have Dach/CC/Struble from that draft, I like him a lot. With both teams in rebuild mode they’re looking to add without losing too much in the exchange. Wingers are probably the easiest assets to obtain so IMHO the Habs will hold onto G Fowler, the big RD’s in their system and make moves around the margins…..salary dumps & vet moves. A Zegras trade will cost us something we’ll need sooner rather than later.
