There is truth to that, but not sure a winger (he isn't a good forward) with terrible defensive responsibilities, and a massive dip to production is worth more than a RD, with top-pair potential, even if he hasn't proven in the NHL.
Full disclaimer, I'm not a fan of Zegras at all, but "Massive dip to production" isn't really fair. It's pretty clear that what little time he's played this year he wasn't 100%.
I'd never trade Reinbacher for Zegras personally, but without being proven at all in NA hockey yet, I don't think it's all that absurd to say that they'd have to throw a 2nd on him to get a proven player, at the moment. Overall, I think Reinbacher becomes a much more valuable player, but until he's proven his value takes a hit. (Which is why teams rarely trade top prospects)

For Hutson though, way more fair value than you are making it out to be. He is the best player at the defense position the NCAA has seen in the past 30 years
Rangers fans were saying the same thing about Nils Lundkvist after his 20-21 SHL season lol.
