Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Quote "Zegras needs a contract for the Ducks and one of the things we're hearing is that's likely to be a bridge deal," said Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast. "It doesn't look like that's gonna be a long term deal. It sounds like Zegras and the Ducks, when it gets done, is going to be a bridge." https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/rumor-no-long-term-deal-for-trevor-zegras-in-anaheim Frank Seravalli said last month he figures Zegras to get something like a 2 year deal, $5M cap hit. It's really not clear what his true NHL ceiling is, but there's no doubt he's going to be more productive as the team continues to improve. If I were a Ducks fan, I'd be pissed about this. It was good of them to lock up Troy Terry long term, but they also should've offered Zegras a 7x$8M or something like that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunjabiCanucks Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Id give him a 8 x 8M deal - good value for both - contract looks amazing in 2 years time Some say hes worth less. But hes their star forward atm and should be near 7m. He probably feels he's worth 9 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegionOfDoom Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Kids very overrated at this point in his career in my opinion, tho the talent is there I don’t see that drive in his game, I could see this one actually backfiring on him as they would have most likely gave him 8.5 x8 unless of course it’s the organization not 100% confident and it’s them not offering max term 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s never had the greatest attitude and hey, if it doesn’t work out, they still have Mason McTavish and Leo Carlsson as their potential 1-2 centres for the next decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...he just doesn't seem like the brightest light to me. He has some skill, no doubt. But he's got to harness his attitude a bit in my view if he wants to reach his full potential.

Toews Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 This will end up being a mistake. Ducks are not going to be competing in the next two years so the cap savings will go to waste. Zegras is way too skilled to not improve on his point totals while will mean that the Ducks will end up paying more than they have to in a couple of years time. Considering that they will be competing with us in the future I have zero problem with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooks Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’m in the overrated camp. He will get better but defensively he’s like Myers blindfolded with his skates tied together. I’d take him 4th in a redraft after Hughes, Cozens and Seider. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alflives Posted September 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2023 Most overhyped player in the league. He’s a selfish puck sucker and no team will win anything with him as a key piece. He’s going to get face punched a lot. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Not a fan of this player at all. I reckon saving the money for McTavish and Carlsson + the defence they are building will look like a shrewd move. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it has happened before, but I'd be pretty upset if the Canucks should ever pass on a talented player because of a supposed attitude problem.

Matt Boldy should absolutely be ahead of Zegras and Cozens at this point. He's been an absolute stud for Minnesota. 9 hours ago, -DLC- said: I see his ego and flashiness being a distraction to his actual on ice performance.

I honestly can't stand him. Pass. Zegras was anything but flashy this past year, and there's a couple reasons for that. Firstly, the team was absolute dogshit. Everyone regressed. They earned that 2nd overall pick the hard way. 2nd lowest in the league for goals scored. Doesn't matter how good one's playmaking is - if you have nobody to pass to, you're not getting an assist. Secondly, because his team was so bad, they were always playing from behind. You can't afford to make flashy plays all the time when you're trying to fight your way back into a a game. He did have some great goals this year; one was a lacrosse goal (ultimately deemed offside), and the other was a between-the-legs goal... while trailing!! As long as he can harness his abilities into pure offense, there's no reason he can't be an absolute superstar. A decent comparison can be made with Patrick Kane. Obviously Kane had a much higher ceiling (1st overall) and his team was much stronger, but he was also a punk kid from New York who eventually became the best American hockey player of all time. This guy. Best American of all time. He figured his shit out. Zegras does need to rein in his on-ice attitude problems, though. He led the team in penalty minutes and was 11th in the league for minor penalties taken. That's really bad. 3 hours ago, Caboose said: Not a fan of this player at all. I reckon saving the money for McTavish and Carlsson + the defence they are building will look like a shrewd move. What will they do the next two years, then? I feel like all three forwards should stay in the top six but you can only have two centres. It's like LA, where Byfield is the odd man out and will have no choice but to play wing. Someone's gotta do it. Probably Zegras. Edited September 5, 2023 by Bob.Loblaw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I feel the ducks is wary about his attitude and ego being an issue in the locker room in the long term and hope to see an improvement before committing to him long term. I’m not in the locker room but that guy have the me first vibe and ego that puts himself well ahead of the team. The ducks will get 2 more high picks in the next 2 seasons and if they are not sold on Zegras they still have plenty to build around and Zegras will fetch them a massive package 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegras lacks character. He’s a selfish player. Paying a guy with that kind of character as a core piece equals losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) one of the most overrated players in the game right now. total crybaby. the type of game he plays will never work when it matters most. the only reason hes had the bit of success so far is because the league is turning this into a ladies league.
