Zegras

Not at that price, and especially not without making changes to the goaltending

ANA’s needs are top 6 RW and top pair RD

Holtz’s shine is fading, his 34 points in 110 games isn’t promising to fill the top 6 RW hole. Would ANA take a shot on him? Probably. But for Zegras? Not even close, especially since that just opens a new hole at top 6 LW

Casey at 5’10” isn’t a fit for ANA (esp with Verbeek as GM). We already have similarly sized Zellweger at LD. It would cement 2 pairs as lacking a solid size D pair, which is why Verbeek was willing to move Drysdale. He also doesn’t project top pair, and would be behind Luneau in terms of RHD prospects

All in all, we’d totally be interested in only Holtz, but he’s is not in the ballpark of Zegras for a trade return

Holtz is weaker than Zegras off the puck, and doesn't put up the offense to justify that.

Casey is a good prospect but we have more than enough undersized puck moving D.

Pat is looking for a top 6 RW and a top 4 RHD, neither of these players reliably project to be those at this point.

One does not acquire a Zegras with pieces one can easily afford to loose.

The is the definition of poor asset management....we go in with barely better goaltending, and give up two of your best prospects/young players...

Holtz feels mighty underwhelming and Casey probably isn’t an upgrade over Luneau so I don’t see why Verbeek would think twice on this one
