Quoting: Campabee
I never said Ducks fans wanted, needed or expect to move Zegras. I only said that Zegras doesn't have the kind of value you are expecting back in a trade. Would you trade 3rd OVA + Gauthier for Caufield?! No cause it is a ridiculous ask, same as you saying we have to send the 2024 5th OVA + Mesar for Zegras. You guys are smoking too much weed on the west coast, it's killing your brain cells if you think any team is making that trade. Zegras can get a pick in the 7-10 range + maybe Farrell, if a team is willing to overpay then Farrell can be swapped for Mesar but you aren't getting a team to give up Mesar + Lindstrom/Levshunov/Eiserman
You said “if the Ducks expect to get.. for Zegras”. I responded that we don’t expect to get anything for him because he isn’t available for trade
To acquire a 22 year old club favorite that isn’t available for trade, it costs a significant piece to convince that team to move him
MTL has 3 pieces they
might consider moving (all unlikely) for Zegras that ANA
might consider accepting (also unlikely). One of those pieces is the ‘24 MTL 1st
If the season ended right now, MTL has a 0% chance of 5OA. They have >50% of 7th/8thOA.
Gauthier > Mesar (not a debate)
Zegras > Caufield (granted it’s close, but Z is a 6ft center with 2 60+pt seasons. Caufield is a 5’7 winger who
maybe gets his first 60pt season this year)
At the end of the day you’re still arguing the wrong guy. I didn’t propose this trade, don’t want this trade, don’t think the trade is realistic. But go ahead, get upset that I live in California and have yourself a temper tantrum. This is supposed to be a fun place for fans to engage my man, try to enjoy it. Wish you well
