[Vinegar Strokes]

Not sure if the video link will work or not because its from the Athletic but Pronman pointed out this nutty pass that Zegras had.

The skill and imagination to just try that is incredible, not to mention the pass was actually perfect too.

Really excited to see what this kid can become.

 

[ponder]

Eh its somewhat expected.

He basically played in Hughes(and his side kick caufields) shadow.

And Turcotte, Boldy, Knight and York. Didn’t seem to hurt any of them much in draft position, though, as all 7 of them went in the top 15.

What an insane thing to think to do in that situation and then still pull it off near perfectly. I love how confident he is.

This kind of stuff is why I don't think it was crazy he got floated at the 3-spot in this draft

I had to watch 3 times to even understand what happened

Ya the gif starts right when he’s passing the puck wish it started 2-3 seconds earlier

I've watched this several times and I still don't know how this was executed

Yeah, his path may be a bit longer than some of the other kids in the discussion for those top 5 spots because I do worry about him getting stuck on the wing if he's rushed...a la Kyle Connor...but the realistic-ceiling on this kid is absolutely delightful.

I really wanted the Avs to draft him at 4.

Holy balls.

Told you there was a reason why henchy & I got so hard for him this past draft season

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Bergevin had Zegras at #3 :O

idk, no one knows, the crew or Bergevin

Marc Bergevin's Actual 2019 Draft List

Apparently it's Bergy

Cmon thats a list he was gaved and it was the concensus list from their draft board, bergevin doesn’t have time to watch prospect, let alone make a list. When florida drafted knight, he goes "thats the goalie?" Lmao...

I can't stop watching.

 

[bsu]

zegras was 3-5 on a lot of scouts lists.

 

[bigdog16]

That pass was for sure not intended haha

 

[HanSolo]

That pass was for sure not intended haha

I doubt he intended it to go all the way back to the point but I'm sure he intended it to be a pass to somebody.

 

[Exit Dose]

Zegras at 3 and Cozens outside of the top ten? I like how your scouts saw that draft; with those two players, at least.

 

[Exit Dose]

I doubt he intended it to go all the way back to the point but I'm sure he intended it to be a pass to somebody.

That was a pass to the point. That's why he ricocheted it high.

 

[HanSolo]

That was a pass to the point. That's why he ricocheted it high.

I mean, I could be wrong sure. I think we can at least agree that it wasn't just a half baked attempt to clear the offensive zone. No forward is that stupid.

 

[bsu]

That pass was for sure not intended haha

yes he was trying to clear the zone for the other team

 

[KBstyle]

Those kind of play are done by feeling and seeing a teammate couple second before. He knows someone should be there and he made the play, to me it show that he have good hockey sense and great instinct.

This is something you can't learn, you just have it.

 

[Ivan13]

Zegras should've went somewhere between 3-5 with Byram and Turcotte. Ducks should be very happy as they got a kid that should supplant Getzlaf as their franchise C few years down the road.

I think the Avs are pretty happy with Bryam who could turn out to have the best career of the 19 draft players.
