Description
I see a ton of ACGM that trades 5th to 8th OA worth of value for Zegras, which is too much. I also see some that only give late 1sts and a mid prospect, which is too little.

A realistic in-between would be 11 to 13th OA worth of value

I will make the same argument as in the other thread. How can you look at Dach's pre-trade production and Zegras' pre-trade production and come to the conclusion that the 2 players have equivalent value?

I will also mention, the Habs got a steal on the Dach deal.

The difference is when we traded for Dach, it was almost like trading for a prospect. Yes, he played games in the NHL, but he was only 21, so its more normal production wasn't incredible. Trading for Zegras is for a roster player, and production has to be better when trading for a Roster player than a prospect.

Logic aint going to work w/ducks fans that I’ve encountered here. They live with the what if mindset. What if Zegras is a 90 point player so he automatically deserves 90 point player return.

Look what he did at 21 & 22! Way better than Dach. Imagine the price for Dach if he had even 1 x 60 point season.

It be high for sure (Dach does have a way better repertoire than Z though: much bigger and stronger, great defensively, those things boosts a players value a lot)
