What’s going on with Zegras?

[Jumptheshark]

I just stumbled upon this post on Twitter and went on to check his stats this year. I get that last year he was injured but he seems to have an incredible slow start again this year. Is this the case of a player playing like he wants out? A fresh start?

I think you don’t know the definition of overrated. op is right and you are defending a dead horse but acting smart because, why? He was and is 100% overrated

Nah, you're making shit up too.

Dude, Connor McDavid would struggle to produce on this Ducks team.

Was extremely overhyped/overrated coming in but he’s got talent and is better than the recent numbers would suggest.

Should be a good complimentary top 6 winger who can put up 60 or 70 points IMO.

Skill and possession center is being forced to play dump and chase hockey as a wing with a bunch of other players who are too small, too young, too old, too slow, or for multiple reasons also no good at dump and chase. The coach is forcing players to play his style, not adapting his style to fit his players.

Watching him and hearing some of his interviews, he has always given off the vibe to me of only caring a lot about super fancy moves and not about being a really good hockey player.
