Description

Roughly where we stand if we do make one big move and that move is Zegras ...

Zegras trade: Anaheim is able to draft a replacement forward for Zegras and a RHD in the top 10.

Armia and Allen buyouts: Thank you for your service. We'll pay you some money so you can sign cheaper elsewhere that is a better fit and will allow you to earn your next contract.

Keeping one healthy scratch forward and relying on call up trials for injury relief. Time to get serious with forward auditions instead of stuffing castoff vets in the gaps.

Shopping Harris, Kovacevic, and Dvorak.
Looking for a younger 3C if nobody can jump up (Kapanen or Kidney?).

I'm completely convinced that Trevor Zegras is not on the market, but if he were, this is an offer I would accept.

Non! Nous devons repêcher et développer nos joueurs. On manque surtout de bons vétérans pour entourer nos jeunes.

Mais Zegras a seulement vingt-trois ans le mois prochain.

If the 2024 1st is top 6, I wouldn't trade it for Zegras 1 for 1

Vaut mieux un jeune de 18 ans qui pourra faire la longue carrière avec Slafkovsky que de trouver un autre joueur qui cherchera le gros contrat. Faut jouer la capologie au maximum
