wtf is it with habs fans and loving Zegras so much? Youd give up a top 7 pick for him when everyone in the top 7 has a higher ceiling than him? Hes a high end 2nd line C at best. Barron and a WPG 1st should be the max value for him. And even then, hes not worth it. Hes not the type of player that wins. He'll be average for 20 games, score a sick goal then go back to being average

I very much struggle to see a scenario where Allen returns a 1st, let alone without retention.

Its an Impressive Haul for Sure.
Im just hoping he dont blow it
I do like Zegras but the cost is more then i care for
We got enough people in his age group anyways

I do like Zegras , dont get me wrong
That said MTL Media would devour him whole
I feel it would be Drouin 2.0 sadly unless we found a true top 5 NHL Goalie who can bail him out on defensive blunders

There is no chance you’re getting a 1st for Allen, especially with no retention

Quoting: JeffGorton

Caufield is Zegras's Best Friend is why
Personally im good, i'd rather Suzuki's best friend Durzi as he's much cheaper
Both are PP Players who elevate our top guys play but are both defensively questionable.
