Zegras vs Boldy

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Who is the better player? I feel like Zegras had all the hype coming out of College, but their numbers are close and Boldy’s the better scorer. Who you got?

Zegras: 79gp, 22g, 40a (62 points)
Boldy: 80gp, 31g, 32a (63 points)

Zegras is flash. Boldy can win games.

Zegras AINEC

 

[Connor McConnor]

Boldy is everything the Ducks wish Zegras would be. Mature, future leader and a difference maker in wins/lossez

 

[JonathnTaylorTavares]

One team is two points out from 1st in their division, one team is two points from worst in the entire league.

Still Zegras

 

[DrDangles]

Boldy every day of the week.

 

[rypper]

Boldy.

Bold and the beautiful

I'd take Zegras. And not just because he's "flashier". I think he genuinely has the higher "upside" offensively. Boldy is a lot better than i expected he'd be though. I saw him as more of a complementary Top-6 Winger coming out of the draft, but he's shown as a Pro that he has a lot more offensive creativity than i thought. His offensive smarts really masqueraded as a "complementary" skillset with the NTDP, when there was actually a lot more to it.

Zegras has always been more of a playmaker so I don't see how Boldy being the better goal scorer is relevant.

Anyway, I think if Anaheim wasn't so atrocious in all three zones, Zegras could easily have 10-15 more points this year so I'd still take him.

No knock on Boldy though. He's a player any team would want.

It’s just relevant in that I value goals more than assists.

No doubt Anaheim is an entirely different situation, but not one that I would considered to be a far worse situation for production. Minnesota is a much stingier team that won’t cheat for offense. Anaheim is 31st in goals per game, but Minnesota is 24th; it’s not like they’re lighting the world on fire.

I see Zegras is getting the Pettersson treatment.

Zegras > Boldy

Zegras has much more potential to become a 90 point player than Boldy. Zegras also plays on a shitty Anaheim team. With better supporting players, this poll would be a wash.

 

[Gliff]

I’m honestly shocked Boldy is winning. I love Boldy and would give a lot to have him on the Ducks, but they have the same production and Boldy is in a better situation in every way.

Better team
Better PP (Zegras only has 16 points on the PP)
Doesn’t face top pairings
The Ducks spend 65% of the game in their own end.

What do you see about Boldy that makes you think he isn’t going to be a 90 point player?

 

[Mrb1p]

Its Boldy ten times out of 1.

No but Anaheim's in a situation where their puck possession is overwhelmingly worse than Minnesota's and they spend much more time struggling to defend in their own zone. I'd have to pull up advanced metrics to verify but the eye test shows Zegras isn't getting as many opportunities to thrive as an offensive threat as he could on a better team with an actual coach.

I don't think the difference is huge or anything but I'd personally take Zegras. I can't really put bias aside in that determination but there's a good reason for it. While others beat this stupid drum that he's nothing but flash over substance, I see that he's still got raw offensive potential that isn't being fostered under the Eakins system. I'll give credit to Boldy that he plays a better all around game, but if I'm rebuilding a team I'd personally go with Z.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I'll take the guy who's leading his team in scoring.

 

[NyQuil]

I mean, Zegras is more of a playmaker and he's still leading his team in goals.

Not because he's a great goal scorer, but because of who he has to play with.

Surprised Boldy is winning this

Zegras is on a botton-5 team and produced the same

The best run he has had all season was with Kaprisov gone, thus playing against top pairings.

 

[MuckOG]

Its very close because Zegras plays center.....but I went with Boldy because I look at him as the next coming of Mikko Rantanen.

 

[Mrb1p]

Zegras himself thinks Boldy is better than him but we have a few nerds deciding otherwise.

Malcom Subban is a goaltender so I guess he's a better goaltender than PK, yes.
