Swing and a miss there bud, acquiring Zegras will cost at least Reinbacher.

laugh Sorry but chump change isn't getting you Trevor Zegras, Try one of Slafkovsky or Reinbacher as a starter. That offer isn't going to beat 30 other NHL teams.

IF Anaheim ever accepts a Lowball offer on Zegras... Which is a BIG IF, it won't be mid-season.

Im not trading a potential top 10 pick for Zegras. People need to start looking at future draft classes before trading that years pick. Anyone in that top 10 in 2025 is superior to Zegras. Its gonna be one of the deepest classes since 2015.

I don’t see it. The Ducks don’t need Defence. The 1st is looking like a top 7 pick. Owen Beck is playing like a 1st. So it’s pretty fair considering Zegras is a centre that doesn’t play defence. The Flyers offered Gauthier for Reinbacher at the draft and were turned down. Gauthier is the better prospect, hence Zegras being shopped.

No

I thought of this watching the game last night. No way the AVS are going anywhere with that lack of depth. Anytime McKinnon and Makar were on the bench, it didn’t look great.

How does Mona bring in a return thats 1 second round prospect away from Zegras? lol I realize I posted the same Zedgras trade, but it was purely a joke.

Injuries and illness. The Avs had 2 dmen on the 4th line.

He’s on pace to score 20 goals. Is a very good faceoff guy. Plays both special teams. And as you accurately put, “The AVS had 2 dément on the 4th line.” That how it works.

Not happening, but a top 10 1st this year is a suitable starter.

Avs have RyJo who is on pace for 20 goals and is also a "very faceoff guy". Want to give up a 1st for him?

Habs wont get Zegras for that offer.

BUT why would PHI give you a 3rd for Allen? Does PHI want Allen? NO, not even if you include the 3rd

You’re going into the playoffs with who as your backup?

Errson, numbskull

Look at the stats, 19 games 2.33 GAA and a .910 save percentage and already signed for the next 2 yrs.

So dump allen elsewhere

Zegras isn't being shopped bud, no credible source is claiming that, they specifically said he's not being shopped. You happen to notice your trade has next years first, not this one? So how the hell you assuming it's 7OA?

You're right, Z isn't a prospect, he's a developing young player who led his team in scoring last year, and was second the year prior, so he's more valuable.

And as to your assessment, we have no potential 1RD at the moment, so no Reinbacher, no Zegras.

You're out of luck. The GMs dumb enough to trade a potential top 2D for a top 6 forward are no longer employed by this organization.

I get where you’re coming from. But Zegras wasn’t a top 5 and wouldn’t be in a re-draft. Reinbacher was and would be again. You’re over evaluating a Left winger who’s had to play Centre.

Sorry too strong, but since you proposed a deal without knowing why and then double downed that the flyers had a need, without knowing their needs/wants or even who their backup was, It just shows a real ignorance of other teams.
Errson who’s played 19 of 43 games and is the probable Calder trophy leading goaltender (not skater) in the league, has great stats and a big reason why rebuilding philly is 3rd in the metro, and with a capable sandstrom and cal Petersen in minors. so why would PHi want/need Allen or even give you a 3rd?

If that's ANA's actual stance, then negotiation's end there I guess. Hughes reportedly refused pretty massive offers for the 5th pick (Reinbacher), I don't see how Zegras would change Hughes stance on Reinbacher.

If ANA are hell bent on wanting a RD. I could see a deal revolving around Barron or Mailloux + the Habs 2024 1st (probably around the top 10 range) that would most likely be used to pick another Dman (Zeev Buium or Zayne Parekh). You might disagree, but a Barron + Buium for Zegras type deal seems more than enough. I'm not even sure I'd want to do that deal as a Habs fan...

There are multiple redrafts that disagree with you on that, most of them have him going in the top 3 his draft year. Guys like Kakko and Dach certainly aren't in front of him, nor is Caufield.

And as I, and everyone credible reporting on it have said, he's not being shopped. Yeah, I'm sure his name has come up, I'm sure other GMs are interested in him, in the same way every GM in the league is interested in any top player. Negotiations end there, fine, we keep him, we have two spots at LW in the top 6, Gauthier can have one, and Zegras the other.

The whole reason we got Gauthier was we needed more scoring. Zegras has been 1st and 2nd in team scoring the last two years, so why would a team desperate for more scoring send out their leading scorer for a grab bag of lesser assets?
