Prospect Info: Ducks Prospect Info 2019-2020

Again the game left me with the feeling that obviously Zegras is talanted, but it`s not like he`s blowing everyone out of the water there. I`d be in favor of him staying another year in college.

 

[bsu]

Same, but the Ducks will do whatever he wants.

Maybe it`s just me but Zegras seems taller, ha. I wonder if he has really grown to 6`1. From the eye test I wouldn`t be surprised. He also is still 18

@duxfan1101 I missed the start what happened? Sounds funny

One thing that may make him look taller is that of the members of the BU powerplay (Zegras, Curry, Harper, Farrance, and Cockerill), Zegras is the only one who is 6 feet tall. They list Curry and Farrance as 6'0", but there is no way they are.

Maybe but it’s not like Zegras has much leverage in this situation. Free agency is a long way away for him if he wants to get back at management for not signing him ASAP.

 

[duxfan1101]

It looks like BU (6 seed) will play at UMass-Lowell (3 seed) in the Hockey East quarterfinals next week. The game will likely be either March 13 or March 14.

I'm not sure why you are so adamant that an 18 year old kid is going to tell and an NHL team how to run their business.

Because he's the biggest hope of turning franchise around, and Boston U is going to be complete ass next season

He’s a very good prospect but he’s not Paul Kariya. Bobby Ryan didn’t play until his d + 3 season, neither did Corey Perry or Ryan Getzlaf (although Getzlaf would have made it in 04-05 had there not been a lockout).

And those two reasons are why the Ducks will be forced to take orders from him?

I know he needs to gain weight. I think doing so in the summer and then playing in SD next year might be the best course of action for him. But I know others think he can gain weight in college next year as another option. Given that he's not up against an expiring clock to turn pro or go ufa, I see no reason that the Ducks will just acquiesce to his demands as opposed to explaining to him why they might think otherwise.

 

[bsu]

I've been watching BU all year... You don't want him developing there next season lol.

Wouldn't that be more of a reason to make him stay an extra year to develop that leadering skill while developing his lithe frame? #1 overall pick last year, Jack Hughes, has a lithe frame and he didn't turn the Devils around this year. He's got half the points that Palmieri has on that team! If Hughes can't turn around the Devils, then why are you so adamant that Zegras can turn around the Ducks? There isn't a time constraint here. There is no need to rush Zegras.

Hughes has 21 points in 59 games with a - 24 rating. Sam Steel has 22 points in 64 games with a -12 rating. Sam is also three years older, but this year he would have qualified for the Calder with Hughes.

Some people are going to be quite disappointed if they think Zegras is a savior. We have no finishers, no onetimers, no cannon from the blueline, and a GM who has just realized the need for shooters.

I’m not sure how this is gonna play out, but I don’t see Z as a one man savior any time soon.

 

[bsu]

I want him on the gulls all next season not the ducks

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

He won’t be a savior the year after either.

Zegras does seem like a guy thatll make wingers around him better offensively... im indifferent if he will come out or stay a year, i do think he needs to add to his frame.

If he does come out he needs to play with guys that can score a bit.... i think comtois zegras rakell might be best bet

That's my only concern, haha. That team will have even less depth.

I think people forget or don't bother to learn how utterly bonkers Kariya's first season at Maine was.

They will have 0 scorers and top end d1 talent

Boy I wish we had just drafted Paul. What a player he was and unfortunately he can not play now (like Pavel Bure).

College hockey was quite different then and he was on a great team.

Here is your daily Garrett Metcalf content

 

[Opak]

I wonder what he did to deserve that.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I didn't know they could be sent there.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Here is your daily Garrett Metcalf content

How did he end up there? Did he murder someone so they just had to send Metcalf there and not some other guy?+

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

College hockey was quite different then and he was on a great team.

He nevertheless led the nation in scoring as a freshman and outscored the nearest freshman by about 50 points. A ridiculous season that Zegras is nowhere near matching.
