Feels like an overpay to me, especially because the Preds aren't guaranteed to make the playoffs. But I do think Zegras is the type of the player they would be looking for
Pass by NSH. I like Zegras personally, and I think he would flourish under Burnette, especially on a line with Novak and Evangelista. However, this is a lot to give up, especially considering the right side of NSH's defense looks as abysmal as it does. Ufko is one of the few bright spots for RD's in NSH. If it was any other player on D not named Molendyk or Ufko, I'd say yes.
