Thread: Zed not Zee
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>I mean it's what you have always said the Ducks wanted in a package for Zegras, either Our 1st + Beck + Mesar or one of our top forwards (Suzuki, Slafkovsky or Caufield) or <strong>the Jets 1st + a top 4 RHD prospect</strong>. This package satisfies the 3rd option, Barron is a top 4 RD prospect, his ceiling might not be as high as Reinbacher's but it is still top 4, it is still higher than Mailloux's as well and heis only 22 so he still has time to develop.</div></div>
You're conflating several different statements we've made over the past three months, and just plain inventing some things, whether intentionally or not I don't know. Personally, I think that you've taken what we've consistently said and are mis-characterizing it in your own mind. We've always been very specific and never used the words "top forward" or "top RhD prospect." Specifically, we've listed three possible formulations for a Zegras trade: (1) Slavkovsky; (2) the Montreal first and a top forward prospect like Beck or Mesar; and (3) Reinbacher and your 2025 second. I don't ever recall any of us mentioning Suzuki (why in the world would we need a center?!?) or saying "the Jets first and a top 4 RhD prospect." What I recall MY saying was that we would take Reinbacher and the Jets first in response to this very proposal (Barron and the Jets pick). Finally, it's absolutely untrue than any of us have ever said we'd trade Zegras for Caufield.

I <strong>know</strong> that they won't be competitive without their best RW. Don't you?

Of course Tourigny and Armstrong would take Guhle . . . for a high draft pick or picks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habslife</b></div><div>Yes but Utah will want to be competitive this season and they don't have any defense signed for next season. <strong>They can always draft an extra def.</strong></div></div>
That's the argument for Montreal doing this, not Utah.

Do you just not get the point that Utah can draft a defenseman more highly rated than Guhle with their own pick? Adding a defenseman doesn't make them more competitive unless they're adding Adam Fox or Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar.
