They may not be. He certainly has value to a team looking to take a chance on one of the most technically talented goalies in the league who has a recent vezina-caliber season tho. Either way, I’m framing it more off of the Dach trade than anything.
Zegras is much more proven then Dach was at the time of the trade
Yeah I tend to agree, at least offensively. I don’t know that he’ll be valued much more though. Assuming health, I’d rather add Dach to my team than Zegras. Ones a 6’4 two way center and the other is a highly skilled point produucer who struggles defensively.
A blue chip recently drafted 5oa player who refused to sign with the team that drafted him. That is the only reason why he got traded.
Not disagreeing that zegras probably doesnt fetch more (even though tbh i dont really want him on my favorite team) but i think ducks got excess value for drysdale bc the flyers were in a pinch with gauthier and the ducks were in the right place at the right time to take advantage.
lol I would love to know a comparable to this. A 22 year old with 2 60+ point seasons traded for a mid first. I’ll wait.
It’s not as black and white as you’re making it out to be. He’s coming off a bad year and isn’t a good defensive player.
He is coming off an injured year. He played fine when he was on the ice. The fact that you are saying otherwise means it’s clear you didn’t actually watch him play.
When did Zegras scored 40goals?
There’s really no other trade to go off of. I agree his value may be slightly higher than Dach’s when the trade happened, but not miles more. I think you’re overvaluing how the league perceives the player. If he was a no-doubt franchise cornerstone, he would’ve been locked up long term.
I’ve been to 10+ ducks games the last 3 years that he’s played in. He’s a below average defensive player in the NHL. He makes poor reads and tries to do too much. It’s fine, but it’s the reality. I’m still unsure if he should really play down the middle or not.
He is 22. I’ll take a 22 year old with the offensive potential that he has that needs to get better defensively all day over a mid 1st. Just like every team in the NHL.
I like the player and would keep him over 13 + Gus. I was simply stating that he doesn’t get tons more than that if he was available. If you can find a better comparable trade I’d love to see it. I just don’t see him getting a top 10 pick.
You know there’s like 5 different things wrong with this reasoning right?
then you simply don’t see him being traded, and your post is pointless
Yeah so, this thread is a “value of Trevor Zegras” thread. I posted what I think his value is, this offseason, given all of his production and pedigree up to this point and used the best comparable I could find. I never said they should trade him, was just adding the conversation around his value, which I guess is pointless these days.
I would say dach is a horrible comparable at the time of the trade … he had less points in 3 seasons combined than zegras had averaged in his 2
