Gibson has already publicly said no to Toronto man

Not getting Zegras for that junk

Chicago's 2024 first is too much for Zegras, the Tampa 2024 first far too little, the idea that we would accept a second-half second as anything but a fourth element in a Zegras deal utterly hilarious.

Gibson has stated that he won't go to Toronto, and that package barely pays for the retention by a small-market team with an internal cap.

lol this is so terrible. ANA hard passes on all of this

CHI should steer clear of Trevor Zegras. I don't believe in him, he is a defensive liability on the ice, a scandal waiting to happen off the ice, and I doubt Luke Richardson would like him much, either. I get why ANA fans value him so highly, they did use a 9th overall pick to draft him and he has had some pretty good seasons offensively, but I don't want him on my team. I wouldn't even pay this much for him, let alone what ANA fans want for him. It's like they want a DeBrincat return, when Zegras has never even come close to 40 goals and has never had a point per game season. If we sell Reichel and/or Kurashev, I would rather collect futures than trade for Zegras. I hate to tear all the ANA fans down, a lot of you are good peeps, but that isn't going to change the way I feel about Zegras.

Scandal off the ice waiting to happen is hilarious

How is that hilarious?

That offer for Zegras gets beat by multiple teams. But he would be fun to watch on a line w/ Bedard.

Zegras has incredible skill and offensive ability but he is not a great hockey player. His defensive liabilities really limit his overall usefulness and often leave him as a net negative impact for his team which it is exactly why Anaheim played hardball in negotiations with him and he had to settle for the bridge deal rather than getting the long term big ticket.

If Zegras ever learns that playing the game is about more then just creating YouTube clips he could really be something, in the meantime I would just as soon steer clear of him.

Zegras has injury problems and has shown flashes but for a rebuilding ducks team and hawks team I think its a win win. Kurashev with Carlsson will be good. Plus Lucas gets a fresh start and then a 2nd rd.

ANA definitely doesn't accept this, but hawks would be very reluctant to include Kurashev in any deal. On pace for just shy of 60 points this year

Of course they would be reluctant, but that's why ducks should accept.

I was hoping the avs would've traded for kurashev

I really don't think he was ever available

I read on a colorado news website that they were inquiring about him.

Honestly I take zero offense. You’re fully entitled to your opinion, and while I think you’re a bit misguided in your analysis, frankly I wish more people on this platform shared your pov so we’d see less ridiculous proposals trying to trade for him

Lebrun verified that he was never made available and wasn’t brought up in a single trade by ANA, but that a few teams called to see if he was available and that ‘story’ got blown out of proportion

haha. I feel ya. Honestly, it's more a gut feeling than anything substantial. Just little things here and there that have lead me to believe he would be a distraction and not a great "team first" guy, and that he is all flash and no work ethic or responsibility on the ice.

Yeah and that’s where as a Ducks fan who’s subjected himself to way more Anaheim hockey than anyone should, I think you have a ‘media-fed’ image rather than the reality. I’ll totally concede that he scores flashy goals, doesn’t have the traditional reserved hockey demeanor, and is still a bit childish in general.

But his work ethic on and off the the ice has been solid, his defensive focus under a new coaching staff this year was pretty undeniable (though sadly a small sample size due to injury), and by all accounts he’s loved in the locker room. There’s a reason that the people who watch him most want to see him traded the least.

But don’t tell anyone. The last thing we need are more Zegras trades on this platform. The dude’s overrated 😜

haha. For sure. Definitely overrated, imho. But, in the long run, it's entirely possible he lives up to the hype. I am just not a fan of paying the price that ANA fans want, on the off chance he lives up to that hype. I also have a feeling that Verbeek probably isn't as attached to him as the fans are, and also doesn't expect to get as much as the fans do, if he were to trade him.

Zegras’ trade value has quite literally never been lower. No GM worth his salt would shop him right now even if he wasn’t hot on him long term. Thats not even considering ANA being a bottom 2/3 offense in the NHL, with Zegras being one of our best producers the last 2 seasons in a row. it just wouldn’t make any sense to move him

Ducks would be wise to trade zegras. They already got mctavish and Carlsson and 1-2 punch.

You definitely don’t know ball 😂

You’re aware he’s a LW as well, yeah? And that the only top 6 potential LW prospect in ANA’s system is Gauthier who hasn’t played a single pro shift yet? Or that we’re a bottom 3 NHL offense, and that Zegras’ best attribute is.. offense?

With the trades. Ducks got deeper with kurashev 1st line winger. Reichel and Robertson are middle six forwards.

Kurashev’s career year will still be worse than the 60+ point seasons that Zegras had back to back while like 2-3 years younger.

The ducks do not lack for middle 6 forward prospects. They absolutely don’t need to downgrade star talent in order to get more. If anything, sign some veteran FAs to fill holes temporarily and give the kids some leadership

The ducks need big steady RD to pair with their all-rookie LHD. Lilj is a bad fit, and there’s a reason 90% of TOR fans are looking to move both him and Robertson on this platform.

Not to mention, it’s no secret Gibby doesn’t want to go play in CAN. He vetoes that trade for sure, and retaining $2M on him is far from desirable.

It’s not your fault, you just don’t know ANA. For example, you didn’t sign Gauthier at all, and have Olen Zellweger sitting on the bench 🤯
