C Trevor Zegras (2019, 9th, ANA) Part 2

[bdub24]

He's not a better offensive player at all, yeah he's probably a more all around player today... he's also 4 years older

Course he is! Take a look at his TOI and his points. Kid is making every second count.

Tanner Jeannot is better. An all around hockey player. Will not shy away from massive collisions and can score goals.

Mr. Jeannot? Is that you?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Everytime someone comes in a Zegras thread claiming someone else is better, in time that usually proves to be a bad take

Jea not really.

Yep lol that was the most random post ever.

I wanted the Kings to draft him but figured they wouldn't. They were very close though but weren't sure how his style would suit the NHL. I don't blame them for selecting Turcotte and he may end up a better fit for LA anyway. Zegras is insanely skilled but has a ton to work on to become a star.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Rangers fan. Gonna force his way home sooner or later

His dad is a big time Rangers fan. I cannot remember a precise thing, but there was something about him not wanting to wear any other jersey.

As a Ducks fan this does make me a bit worried, but we'll see

Eh, a 70 point pace as a 20 year old and already the face of NHL advertising...I'd say he is a star already.

There was an interview recently where zegras talks about being pretty sure hed end up drafted by the kings

Hell put the work in... i dont think anyones ever criticized zegras work ethic or will to win.... hes already kinda clicking as a 1c with questionable help on his line. Id argue after this year hell be flirting with being a Star... he already has 3 of the more memorable goals of the year... and some of the best interviews, hes turned a very bad ducks team into a playoff contender... and he seems like hes been great with the team as a locker room presence/motivating players.

I meant more of a franchise changing complete player that every team wants. Is he Bergeron or Savard? Is he Draisaitl or Nugent Hopkins who was moved to wing because he's not great on draws?

Wasnt prime Savard a star? I feel like id put him in star catagory (at least during his prime)... hes already been a franchise changing player in anaheim(marketing and what not)... but i assume your talking more or less about playoffs... and building a winning franchise.

And ya we got time to see... his biggest weaknesses now is that he prob gets fancy too often when he doesnt need to(which hes seemed to cut out a bit lately), and playing defense when the other team has possession in our zone... hes good defending in the forcheck /nuetral zone but definitely guilty of getting lost in our end when other team has zone control

Savard had multiple top 10 scoring seasons and 5 straight season over PPG before injuries/age slowed him down.

I will be very happy if Zegras ends up on that level.

Zegras may have been raised in New York, but the dude is a made for SoCal living. I don’t see him going anywhere.

Yeah, haha.

Besides, the ''I want to play for my hometown team so bad'' is rarely the case. Like Gibby and Pittsburgh. Once a player gets to the UFA status, he would be already rooted in the area and more inclined to stay.
So, unless we really fail to keep up with his demands or something (which I'm not that worried), he should not be requesting to go anywhere. He also doesn't seem the type to do smth like that.

 

[JiggsNY]

Yeah I think everyone thinks it would be cool to play for your childhood team. But in reality when you are offered 50+million dollars especially as an RFA it’s really not that big a factor. Only have to worry prior to signing the ELC and staying in college or in scenarios like Tavares where the bridge took him to UFA in his prime. Only then it may factor in. But Zegras will sign a hefty extension whenever the time is and be in Anaheim a long time.

 

[Peasy]

I remember a lot of people tying zegras to Chicago before the draft too. I'm sure both teams wish they took zegras instead now.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Playing at home isn't for everyone that being said he seems like a person that would be miserable in a losing organization so it's important for Anaheim to build a winning team.

Agreed his will to win and desire to win is underrated. He f***ing hates losing.

 

[O6OG]

Zegras will be a top 10 superstar within a few years.

 

[bsu]

“I’ve been watching him (Seider) a lot lately, because you hear the buzz around the league between him and (Lucas) Raymond, up for rookie of the year, both of them very skilled and very good players, unique players. Seider stands out to me because he’s a big guy, great puck mover, he has a physicality to his game. Real strong defender, but then he also has this sort of understated offensive ability.

“Like he’s really — there’s a lot of characteristics that I see in him that I see in (Devon) Toews. Doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, he’s a big, strong, physical guy, too, so those guys don’t come around very often. Being as young as he is, I think he’s going to be a real good player for a long time in this league. He’s going to be a superstar.”

-Jared Bednar (Avalanche Head Coach)

Are you lost?

 

[O6OG]

Are you lost?

LOL. Yep. Posted in the wrong thread. Updated my post with my thoughts on Zegras. Dude is insane.

Yes but Bergeron has always been a more valuable player.

 

[Herby]

Yes but Bergeron has always been a more valuable player.

I don't think you value these players enough, this is kind of like Patrick Kane all over again. Creators of offense that can stickhandle and distribute the puck like this kid can are insanely valuable and hard to find. There just aren't that many players with this type of offensive skill available in any given draft. I think he's way closer to a star than you think, and the Kings would be in amazing shape with him and QB in the organization at 20 and 19 years old.
