Random attempt at nitpicking. The first part of that sentence in my post addressed the alternative of a trade; it's unlikely for teams of that caliber. If that type of player doesn't re-sign, he's probably walking rather than being dealt.
Speculation: Who will be the next star player traded?
- Thread starter Pavel Buchnevich
- Start date

Zegras and Drake Batherson have the same career high in points. Is Drake Batherson a star?

He isn't, by all accounts he's very well liked in Anaheim.
Honestly the "rumors" around Zegras are crap. All started with Seravelli (who has never shown to be well connected in Anaheim) speculating that the Ducks may listen on Zegras after moving his buddy Drysdale. That was literally the extent of it, except all these crappy independent blogs jumped on it because Zegras has a buzzworthy name that can generate clicks. So one uninformed opinion, suddenly becomes a rumor that the "Ducks are shopping Zegras". The whole thing was basically given life by Habs fans blogs who thought they could get him for a late first rounder at the draft. Never any weight to it.
Lebrun basically squashed the notion by saying the Ducks are merely listening like they would on any player and aren't calling anyone to shop Zegras. He's the most proven young offensive talent on a team that can't score - they need more of him not less.

I'd say so, he was named to the all-star game a few years ago as well but missed due to injury.

Not convinced It's this year because being in Utah might buy some time but I think Clayton Keller is going to get real sick of losing.
Brady Tkachuk too if Ottawa doesn't smarten up NOW

That doesn't prevent a trade as long as hes OK with the destination or he asks to be traded.

Ship sailed. They listened to offers around the draft, time to see what he can do in a healthy season.

That's a pretty good one actually. Makes a lot of sense. I'd add R. Andersson, I think he deserves the star player label and could fetch a ransom that would bolster the Flames' rebuild. Weegar too potentially

Ding ding. Please let it happen.
Nah, he can just walk..........
It won't bother me because we need a different system, no marner equals new system.
And I will throw up if they re sign him to the AAV he going to be after.
Why would the Leafs want to trade Nylander? He does his job and earns his pay.

Very liberal definition of star used in this thread
Brady Tkachuk by TDL 2025 or summer of 2025 before July 1st when his NTC kicks in. If Sens fall flat on their face again, he’s asking for a trade. I’m sure those talks have already been had with Staios and co.
Dallas
Vancouver
New Jersey
Carolina
Those would be my guess on playoff teams who would/could trade for BT. I mean every team would want BT, so Sens would have the pick of the litter when it comes to offers.

A star will likely be dealt before but PKane and Giroux look obvious if both teams flounder out of the gate…

If we think star player is getting traded ahead of UFA because his team hasn't won more than 1 playoff series in past decade, Marner falls into same category. Just sayin..

I prefer the choices that people have made before in this thread (particularly Werenski and Tkachuk) but I wanted to name someone new, so:
Sean Couturier.
(Qualifies as a star because on that salary, he lives like one!)

Kane and Giroux seem like copout guesses since they are vets now.
I would say one of Ehlers, Nelson, Kuzmenko, or Hall. But if they aren't big enough names then I would probably guess one of Kaprizov, Connor, or Werenski.
