Zegras just isn't the answer to the caps top line center problem. Especially not for this package - this is an overpayment.

Finally, since I put this up, all the Ducks fans are chirping this is a lowball offer and they need Leonard plus extras.

Because ducks fans think Zegras is a generational talent. He’s a good top 6 player who can play center but isn’t going to be a 1C on any team competing for a cup. Easily the most overrated player in the league.
