What’s going on with Zegras?

[Zegs2sendhelp]

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.

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.

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

Same worry I have. I know he’s going to figure it out consistently. Just praying it’s while he’s with us.

Great post. I think Zegras is fun to watch. Why do people want to hate on someone that's fun to watch? We all watch hockey because we like to see skill and talent. He shows skill and talent. He's literally worth the price of a ticket.

I still think he'll hit 80+ points when he figures some things out.

Ya it’s not like he’s completely invisible in games, I think he’s really lacking confidence right now…. And I think the ducks are forcing him to play a dump and chase style that isn’t a good fit for him.


Zegras was at his best when he’s challenging defenders, carrying the puck and make plays with his hands/vision and passing.

This season he seems allergic to holding the puck for 2 seconds or more, and a lot of times he just dumps it in and chases. I like zegras, but that is not a style he’s going to excel in, and seems like the team is kinda clipping his wings

What's his MA/60 (Michigan Attempts per 60min played)? How's that doing?

Matthew Tkachuk has at least 1 between the legs shot attempt/60 and is still a dangerous player.

So, obviously trying trick shots in games is not the big issue
