Ducks match that

No they wouldn’t
Not if the reports that they’re offering him less than $4mil per season are true

I highly doubt the Sabres offersheet him though,
so not worth arguing about anyways

Yeah they would because they could trade him for more than that. Newhook just got traded for a 1st and 2nd Zegras is worth more than that contract be damned.

Genius move honestly

And I think this team makes the playoffs so that picks not even that good

Lol
I’d love to see a list of who has that much Cap space

The Ducks, and that is quite literally all that matters. IF we felt the need to trade him, we'd take enough cap the other way to make the deal work.

It’s a proposed 5year deal above
If u don’t think that would hamper the amount of teams that would be willing to trade for him, then you’re nuts

Anything longer than a five year deal affects the AAV. Five is max for this money.

Yes they would match it lol. Just because they offered him a lower AAV doesn’t mean they’re gonna just let a team offersheet him. If it were a different player maybe, but they wouldn’t just let another team come in and offersheet Zegras lol.

But u think they’ll sign him to a deal that pays OVER DOUBLE what they’re offering???

You’re a Ducks fan, so you’d know better than me
But it seems VERY unlikely imo

It’s not like they’d be letting him walk for free
And it’s very arguable that they wouldn’t get more back in a trade for him- ESPECIALLY at an AAV of $8.4mil over 5years

That would extremely limit the teams who could be interested
