Zegras-McTavish

[KaseMeOutside]

No ducks fans are even saying anything like this and all of them are completely different style players

 

[HFpapi]

First of all, this thread is nuts. Let's see if they can even be the next Getzlaf/Perry first. (Yes, I know that's a C/W combo but in terms of level).

Secondly, I have to admit, Zegras/McTavish/Zellweger/Drysdale/Mintyukov/Gibson is a sick core to build around.

ZEGRAS-MCTAVISH

The next

CROSBY-MALKIN

?

SKILL/FINESSE - SKILL/FORCE

No chance. Let's see then become effective top 6 NHL players or even ppg players before anointing them HoFers. Anaheim has done and will continue to do an amazing job on their rebuild.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Why stop at that, I’d even compare them to Kravtsov himself

Let’s not get carried away

 

[Leonardo87]

No, but the next Getzlaf and Perry level, very possible.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Ducks could be sick dangerous this year. Maybe even catch a wildcard. You just need to get in. Then anything can happen.

Not with Eakins behind the bench

Elite off-season thread.

Crosby + Malkin is too much of a stretch and doesn't make for a good comparable to either young player.

If the two can become something like a poor man's Datsyuk (Zegras) and somewhere close to a ROR/Benn/Tkachuk (McTavish), I think the Ducks are in good hands.

This is what I picture too.

I like OP's enthusiasm, hopping on the hype train.

Dumb comparison but definitely an exciting duo. I was lukewarm about the pick on draft day but since then McTavish has done nothing but make me increasingly excited for his NHL career.

Anaheim is slowly putting the pieces together to make a strong return to form. My only thing is, and I used to clown on fanbases that would be excited to finish in lottery position, but this is such a good upcoming draft, it would be a shame if the kids were too good and ended up just outside a playoff spot with this upcoming draft class. Martin Madden has proven he can pick a star anywhere in the first round, but a chance at one of the top talents this year would be huge for Anaheim's rebuild.

The post was impressive, but the fact that the account was made just to make this one post is more impressive

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Seems like a thinly veiled attempt to get people to start shittalking them

Op is upset their main account's prospect isn't getting fanfare right this minute

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Closer to Duchene and Statsny circa 2013 than they are Crosby and Malkin.

Dear God no!!!!!!

That Duchene-Stastny team finished dead last and picked MacKinnon in the draft (i.e. Bedard to the Ducks would be the death of me)

Those two werent the problem on that team lol but Bedard in Anaheim would be something for sure.

Prob that Zach Sabres poster tbh….

 

[Voodoo Child]

Zegras is on his way to superstardom, McTavish could be even better and Drysdale is unsung by compare.

But Zellweger might get 9, and Mintyukov is at least a year away from maybe getting his 9, neither are close to being impact players over a full season.

They were just sellers at the deadline. I kind of think they got Klingberg for a year as an additional layer of insulation for Zellweger and to an extent Drysdale.

Ducks will be better but I still don’t see them being good, they should stay the course for another year or maybe two and rely on growth.

Pump. The brakes. My guy.

 

[Zgrass]

You'll like the way they look.

I guarantee it.

 

[Burkeocet]

with zellweger and drysdale setting them up as well

eek

Pronger Neidermayer for sure.

 

[zodiacbiller]

In 2006-07, Crosby was 19, Malkin was 20. Zegras was 20 for most of last season

2007 Crosby - 79GP, 36G, 120PTS
2007 Malkin - 76GP, 33G, 85PTS
2022 Zegras - 75GP, 23G, 61PTS

Soooo no. Not quite. Some perspective: Zegras as a rookie put up basically the same numbers as William Nylander did as a rookie but in a much higher scoring league. Nobody loves Nylander as much as I do, but he's also not Sid or Malkin lol.
