HF Habs: Would You Extend Zegras an Offer Sheet?

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Would you support the Habs offer sheeting Zegras in exchange for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? If so what term and AAV would you give? Also if he does end up in the Habs in this hypothetical, are you happy with the Habs future top 6?

Ducks will match that with ease but yes I’d love to add Zegras

 

[Mrb1p]

No

Zegras aint what we need

 

[Miller Time]

Can't see a reasonable offer sheet we could make that the ducks wouldn't match.

Plus we'd have to pay a premium to the Jets to get back our 2nd if that was a pick required

I think we'd have to do a trade.

I mean if centerpieces going the other way are some of our surplus LD's, it may make sense.

 

[JoelWarlord]

No, we definitely need to convert quantity/futures into quality, but Zegras isn't the guy I'd be targeting.

Ducks would match any offer sheet anyway (unless we went to the 2x1st threshold which would be bad), and his trade value would be too high as I think he's one of the more overrated players in the league right now.

 

[Scintillating10]

No, they never work out

No - Zegras is overrated.

Why are the Ducks playing hard ball with Zegras? I would think a comparable would be Dylan Cozens.

 

[MXD]

Absolutely not.

Humm... I think they know they have better than him in the pipeline.

I'm guessing because he may end up being a soft winger, albeit one that can put up 60-70 points. Maybe Anaheim doesn't think he's work 8M AAV long term.

Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish are their projected top 2 centers.

 

[Tyson]

Absolutely not.

You can have more than one great player.

 

[MXD]

You can have more than one great player.

... Not when they play the same position, and not when you have to pay those other, better players too.

The Habs don’t have their own 2024 2nd round pick so the AAV would have to match the compensation of the Habs giving up a 1st and 3rd ($4.29 million - $6.435 million). Anaheim would match that.

They have Carlsson, McTavish, Terry and who else?

 

[Justin11]

No, I don't think he's the player we need.

An offer sheet...

Thank god we don't have a clown GM no more.

 

[MXD]

You've seen their prospective blue line?!?! Those guys will have to be paid, too.
Zegras can't be counted upon for 1C or even 2C : those spots are for Carlsson and McTavish.
He can be a 2W, I guess? But he's not a 10-million player, and I'm pretty sure no team is looking to emulate the Leafs model.

A bridge deal probably makes him easier to trade, too. Unless he signed to a sweetheart deal, which he isn't ready to accept for all we know.

 

[StCaufield]

He’s Mickey mouse no thanks

Habs fans snobbing on Trevor Zegras after two good scrimmages from Josh Roy

I don't think playing hard ball with Zegras will benefit Anaheim. Time will tell.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Damn, what a novel idea. So glad you made a new thread about it as no one else has brought it up, or discussed before.

 

[Habitant#1]

Absolutely not, the Habs' should not be effectively trading their unprotected 2024 first

 

[Egresch]

Zegras is ideal player for bridge deal. He has skills, but still needs to prove a lot. I do not see a player for Cup winning team. Definitely not a good one for Habs.
Are we looking for Drouin replacement?
I would aim higher, next summer RFA is Elias Pettersson.

 

[HabzSauce]

Nah. I can't stand Zegras lmao. Bothers me more than anyone.

If we get him and lock him up at 8M I would snap
