What’s a fair offer in your opinion then?

Don't think there is one. The Ducks are good for the future in goal and on D. They have a deep system and have had around a dozen picks in rounds 1-3 the last two years, and have not just the high end prospects but also a deep roster of B prospects.

At this point what they need most is what they hope guys like Zegras and McTavish turn into. I doubt they're getting that back.

The Ducks have three young centres. They would be foolish not to trade one. And clearly the one they prefer to move is Zegras. At some point a rebuild needs to turn the corner.

You're betting a lot on what McTavish hasn't done yet. At least Zegras has managed 2 seasons at a 2C level. McTavish has never even pulled that off for a quarter of a season, and I think you're projecting defense and grit on him that hasn't yet been realized.

Honestly given his strengths (board work, heavy shot) McTavish may ultimately be the one better suited for wing.

We also have 3 young wingers and three young defenders. Trading zegras on the cheap achieves what exactly in terms of helping the ducks turn the corner other than liberating us from our potential star forward?

Zegras for Kadri? Flames add a second?

I mean we technically have 4 young centers

Zegras Carlsson McTavish Gauthier

Id personally rather try McTavish/Gauthier on wing and let Carlsson/Zegras go down the middle

McTavish is a plus 4 at centre. Zegras is a minus 5 at centre. The coach is trying to win games.
