[Llamamoto]

Two of my favourite prospects from the 2019 draft, who do you take going forward?

I picked Zegras.

While Dach has a great all-around game (though he needs to take more shots), I think Zegras has greater potential to be a legitimate game-breaker.

Voted Zegras

Zegras more skilled. Dach's best case might be Jon Toews. Zegras is like Marner with a better shot with the best case of a Pat Kane but a decent person. Centers are more valuable than Wingers, but Zegras is special.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Kirby. He's far more well rounded.

Zegras is flashy and looks fun on the highlight reel, but Dach can shut guys down and play a full meat and potatoes 200ft game.

Substance > style

 

[Dust]

Dach seems to be the more well rounded and NHL ready player right now. You see the flashes of fantastic skill from Zegras but it hasn't translated to much so far.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I think both will end up being stars in the NHL.

Homer voted for Kirby.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I'll go with Dach. I think he can hurt you in more ways, although Zegras could well be the better goal scorer long term.

Zegras has the better defensive numbers. This is another case of big guys getting overrated defensively and smaller flashy guys getting underrated.

I wanted Zegras at the draft, but can live with drafting Kirby. I'm just happy for now we didn't draft Turcotte.

This comment could bite me in the ass later.

No it's a case of Dach playing for a shit team and an incompetent coach

 

[Dominance]

Zegras has the better defensive numbers. This is another case of big guys getting overrated defensively and smaller flashy guys getting underrated.

And Dach has the better offensive numbers when you remove the rookie season where he was getting 8 minutes of ice time. Another case of small flashy guys getting overrated offensively and big effective guys getting underrated.

That's not even a reasonable excuse. Anaheim has absolutely no quality shooters and will likely finish behind the hawks this season.

Lmfao have you seen the Ducks?

 

[bsu]

Zegras, idk why everyone keeps talking about him like he's only a flashy player. Turn a game on for once and you will see he is very good with his stick and is just a pesty player all around. He battles for every 50/50 puck and isn't afraid to get involved. Some of you act like he's just doing toe drags all game. Literally watch any game this season even the one he played bad in. Stop using youtube highlights to judge a player. He is going against every teams top lines and defensive pairings while playing with Henrique who looks like he is playing a 10pm Sunday night beer league game, he rarely takes strides just glides around waiting for a pass from Zegras. He makes Zegras work even harder on the backcheck because he himself is checked out. Saying Zegras is just a flashy player is tiresome and incorrect.

Anaheim is bad, but defense in Chicago is worse.

You're using stats from this season which is a very tiny sample size.

[HyperX]

Id prefer Dach but Zegras is likely to be a better player.. if that makes any sense lol

If the Devils didnt have Hughes id choose Zegras

Last season:

You are using stats from a completely different shortened pandemic season and team.

 

[Kevin Musto]

You are using stats from a completely different shortened pandemic season and team.

56 games played is a better sample than your 4 games.

No idea what you're trying to prove.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Nothing against Dach. But its Zegras here and its not particularly close.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

It’s probably a little early for this poll and a 2019 redraft in general.

Nobody from the 2019 draft has really broken out and proven anything yet, although that could change this year.

Id like to see what these two can do under competent coaching, since they happen to play under two of the worst coaches in the NHL.

 

[Hisch13r]

No it's a case of Dach playing for a shit team and an incompetent coach

Uhhh Zegras has the better relative numbers too lol. If Dach was really that good it'd be easier for his relative numbers to look better on a team with worse numbers.

Cause the ducks and Eakins are world beaters? Lol
