Thread: Zegras
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>The fact that you've included a LhD (and one of <strong>very</strong> modest accomplishments, at that) in that offer shows that you don't know what Anaheim would be looking for in a Trevor Zegras trade.

Let's stop off for a minute and consider the difference between Zegras and Gabe Vilardi:

Zegras: 200* games, 53 goals, 93 assists = 146 points
Vilardi: 190 games, 57 goals, 51 assists = 108 points
[* 14 this season played with an injury eventually sending him to the LTIR list for 6 weeks, 5 healthy, then 3 shifts in game 20 before breaking his ankle]

So we'd want Brad Lambert or Chaz Lucius plus Vilardi plus a 2024 or 2025 second-round draft pick for Z.</div></div>

You can have Lucius. In the deal and take out Heinola. You will not get a 2nd as well. Those stats mean nothing, if you think you will get exact stats back then what is the point of making the trade? Let's be honest though, Zegras, much like Vilardi gets hurt a lot. I honestly think his value has dropped and the fact that you heard his name rumored a lot this season means Verbeek wants to move him.

Thread: Mixing it up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>You just answered your own question; very few goalies are vezina caliber every year - maybe 5? Markstrom does not fall into that category - he’s had good years but Samsonov was a top 10 goalie last year with Leafs. Offering a top prospect (Cowan is getting better &amp; better - he’s a top, top prospect) &amp; 1st is insane and a MASSIVE overpay; no way Tre (or any same GM) considers this</div></div>

again, fair point. I am an outsider to the Leafs. From my viewpoint, They have 3 guys on the team that have 70+ points in 55 games. These 3 guys are carrying this team and they need goal tending help. Maybe Samsonov was top 10 last year, but in the playoffs he fell asleep on the team. This is a very good team and I think with a quality goalie has a legitimate shot at the cup. Samsonov is not winning them a cup. So for that reason if the ask was for Markstrom-Cowan. I would jump at it. The first is irrelevant and I don't know why people are talking about it like it is something special in one of the weakest draft classes in history.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Armer88</b></div><div>Sammy is off the books after this season and Reaves can be buried for almost nothing.
When was the last time a goalie went for a 1st and top prospect?
13-13 in the playoffs and .911 sv%
Rather look into Saros</div></div>

Fair point. I too would go after Saros first but they have made it known that the offer would have to be one they couldn't refuse and this offer would not do it.

Stats don't always tell the whole story and most everyone should know that. 2021-22 where he played 63 games and went 37-15-9 with a .922 sv% and 9 shutouts. Why are we not talking about that when we mention his stats? Teams have up and down years, they could have injuries that brought the whole team game down. Remember he was on a bad Canucks and Flames team. I think he still has a lot more to give and any well built team would benefit from having him on it.
