Add Mesar, drop Dvorak, and the value is right for Zegras. Not saying ANA takes it, but they’d certainly have to consider it

The right guy would need to be on the board

I still don’t think he gets moved

You are gonna be sadly disappointed if you expect to get a top 5 pick + top prospect for Zegras. I seriously doubt you get a top 5 pick on its own but that has a higher probability than a top 5 +

I don’t think you’re hearing what we’re saying. We don’t want or expect anything for Zegras, because we want and expect him to stay in ANA, just like every reliable piece of news has reported.

You’ll be hard pressed to find any ANA fan proposing a Zegras trade, and something like 90%+ of ACGMs proposing otherwise are from MTL fans.

As a player we don’t want, expect, or need to move, what would it take for ANA to consider it? Thats where one of Slaf, Rein, or the ‘24 MTL 1st would be non-negotiable. Not interested? Awesome, that makes two of us. Take it up with your fellow Habs fans who can’t seem to let the idea of Zegras go 🤷‍♂️

Totally cool with ANA. So ready for these repetitive ACGMs to fizzle

You are going to be sadly disappointed when Trevor Zegras isn't traded to Montreal because your idiot GM, who according to you guys turned down the 13th overall pick a couple of drafts ago for the overpaid slug Josh Anderson, fails to make a legitimate offer to Pat Verbeek.

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

I couldn't care less if Zegras is traded to Montreal or not, he is a one trick pony who is all flash. He is too much of a show boat to be considered a core peice anywhere outside of California.

Well, he IS flashier than Cole Caufield:

Trevor Zegras, first 199 games: 53 goals, 93 assists, 146 points, -44
Cole Caufield, first 193 games: 73 goals, 66 assists, 139 points, -41

But since Caufield didn't play 14 games this season struggling with an injury that eventually placed him on the LTIR list for 6 weeks, I expect the little guy to equal Trevor's record in the next 6 games.

Caufield plays defense better than Zegras, there is more to hockey than being flashy all the time, eventually if he wants to be a core peice, he is gonna need to learn how to play in his own end

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

Who said I was upset? You said the proposed trade has to drop Dvorak and add Mesar for it to be considered, that is what I am disagreeing with you about. You proposed Mesar and the Habs 1st which in all likelihood given strength of schedule and record over the last 10 games is gonna finish at 5th OVA. I am telling you flat out that the Habs aren't offering 5th OVA + Mesar cause it's too much of an overpay, Habs aren't gonna offer 5th OVA alone for Zegras since that would likely return one of Demidov, Eiserman, Levshunov or Lindstrom who all have equal or higher ceilings to Zegras but most also play defense as well.

Your argument devolving into weed-smoking Californians hinted that you might not be all that chill at this point.

Yes, MTL 1st and Mesar is the value needed for ANA to consider it from my and many others’ pov (this is not news, this has been debated in legitimately 200+ MTL ACGMs over the past 3 months). I don’t care if you think that’s unrealistic, this whole pretend ACGM is unrealistic. That’s the unrealistic value needed for this unrealistic trade to occur on this fantasy trade board 😂

Even if MTL gets passed by ARI, it’s less than 42% chance to be 5thOA or better. Most likely to be 6th (44%).

It’s typical that ~30% of top 10 picks bust or perform way below expectations. We know what Z is, and we love/need what he brings. Demidov, Lindstrom, and Levshunov are probably all gone before MTL makes a pick, but that’s just my guess
