Zegras gets a ton of hate by other fans for being the cover athlete, like it was his fault. If he didn’t get that cover, we would not have a new thread every couple months, full of fans dying to hate on a 23 year old.The hockey knowledge on these boards continues to degrade.
The same way that there was an hfboards wide manhunt for Toews for being on the top 100 over Malkin, people can't stand Zegras because he can do flashy things and was on the cover of NHL 23.
I haven't watched a Ducks game yet this year, but he's got incredible vision and hands and has shown that he can create things out of nothing.
He may not be in the right situation, and is also trying to get back on track after a serious injury, but I would bet hundreds of dollars that he will have multiple 70+ point season in his career and that might be conservative.
Fans should be mad/hateful towards EA not Trevor…. He got offered something and he took it and why shouldn’t he?
People mindlessly hating and comparing him to Milano/schremp, and completely ignoring what he has done and what he is capable of doing because they are blinded by the fact that he’s got a “fun” personality and equate that to “hot dogging”.
Is he struggling, sure… but he’s shown plenty of occasions where he is a legit nhl talent…. Lots of people struggle/struggling in Anaheim…. I think eventually ducks will move zegras and it’ll end up a mistake
