0 intrested in zegras, overrated one dimensional player

It's going to cost a piece that genuinely hurts, that 1st isn't going to get it done.

yeah but a 7th overall prob gets u one of the forwards in this draft. Zegras is no Mackinnon or McDavid.

thats putting it lightly lol, hes not even in the next 4 tiers of players

I'm not trading a chance to Lindstrom for Zegras !!

No he's not, but he's a good enough player that you need to be blown away by an offer to trade him. And in my opinion trading him for a singular pick isn't it. Plus trading him now for a player who's going to be a year or two away from being two or three years away puts you on a path of perpetual rebuilding a la the mid 2010s Sabres. With the prospects the Ducks have they have to make a stand to win, and trading one of your young top-6 forwards isn't it.

Habs paid 13OA + for Dach, who's development was mishandled in Chicago, AND had serious injury history in the hopes that he would become a 2C. He's not only not developing into a C, he's missed most of his time on the habs roster due to injuries.

Zegras on the other hand hasn't been mishandled, and has been mostly healthy his career save for the minor injury this season. He's not a distressed asset, so it'll cost a lot more to acquire.

2 mid 1st 2025 and Barron ?

I'd rather keep the top 10 pick. Kovacevic > Savard when you factor in their cap hits.

prob the best 1st and our 2nd w Barron, not 2 1sts str8 up.

the injury this year is a freak injury unrelated to his old ones though. if it was his wrist now it'd be worrying, tho the injury he got is still worrying lmao
prob a top 12 pick, 2nd and one of Farrell or Harris/Struble.

Quite an affirmation since Francis, the person in the best situation to evaluate him, has so much doubts about him he didn't want to sign him long term (and would want to part ways with him). If his own GM has doubt about his value, it is normal other GMs will think the same.

If he's not a distressed asset, Francis will keep him. If he's trading him away, of course there's something wrong motivating him to do so. You can't have both.

IMO, his value is under Gauthier, since his ELC years are passed and his track record isn't up to his potential. Dach's return is pretty on point. (CHI wanted a top 1o pick, but KH was only able to get 13th for Romanov. I don't see much difference in value between 8th to 15th issh)

I'm not expecting you to agree, but I'm done with ANA fans thinking Zegras is worth 3x1st (not saying you are one of them).

3 way trade

1st and D propspect for Zegras then flip to Sabres for Dylan Cozens

You think he will be there 7-9?

He’s an interesting target for sure

If that’s not up I’d just find another target. Don’t have to be Zegras, we just need a guy that can skill it up to round out that top 6.
