<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>No, that isn't, those prospects are nothing special compared to guys in Anaheim system already, we have a flush system with tons of players with that potential, not an empty well like Pittsburgh, quantity trades have zero interest to us, and that's all Pitt has, and not much of it either.

To claim there's anything in Pitts system that you wouldn't trade 1 for 1 with Zegras because that piece is special is just fantasy land on your part bud. I am actually embarrassed for you.</div></div>

I mean, Yager is a top 30 prospect having a fantastic WHL playoffs with Moose Jaw right now. Anaheim should absolutely be interested in him as a <em>part</em> of a Zegras trade. But you’re right that there isn’t anything else on their pool of interest to a team like Anaheim.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fil97</b></div><div>talking like zegras is some star lol

if you don't know the penguins prospects it's ok don't be mad about it.</div></div>

lol what? Zegras is a star. One that Pittsburgh would be very lucky to acquire. And it would absolutely cost Yager plus to get him. I know Anaheim games are on past our eastern time zone bedtimes and he missed most of this season to injury, but he is absolutely a star.

Thread: Potential Rossi Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>TBF bigger is kind of a relative term for MN. Marat K, Rossi, Spurgeon, and Zucc are all small (5'9"); with Heidt, Kap, and Shaw 5'10".</div></div>

Columbus is pretty small, too. Among prospects, Dumais, Brindley, and Pinelli are all 5'9", and on the NHL roster Justin Danforth is even shorter. Fix-Wolansky is 5'5", though he's a tweener. On the blue line, Boqvist is a very small listed 5'11", and top prospect Denton Mateychuk is under six feet as well (though built like a tank). KJ is 6'1" but he only weighs about 165. And of course then there's famously small Johnny Gaudreau, although I've never seen a player as good at evasion on the ice as he is. Really, the only truly big guys in the system are Voronkov, Jiricek, Gudbranson, and Laine (there is a 6'8" Russian prospect, but his odds of coming over are very low). Everyone else is under 6'2" or a goalie. The org as a whole is so small there's a lot of discontent over the coming draft, and a lot of fans are preferencing Lindstrom or Silayev just because they're big boys.
