Zegras Trade

Prepare to hear from the one Ducks fan who'll say "The only way you're getting Zegras is if it starts with your 3 top prospects and your first born son." 🙄

bruh idk what else to add bc i refuse to add leonard considering the fact that him and stevenson are literally the future of the franchise. McMichael and Cristall are already in our top 5 prospect/young player pool.

As a Caps team on the cusp of rebuilding in a year or two I say stay away from these kind of trades. Don't know what it is but Zegras seems to have some bad ju ju and don't want to take on a guy who is trending in the Dubois direction.

honestly, i dont think the caps are gonna do a rebuild. Most of our core is young enough to last us 5-10 years and the caps would probably just choose to replace(via trade) the vets that are choosing to retire. after ovi retires i could see them doing a retool just to stay sorta competitive.

I see your point. I just hope they stay the course.

I know Bmac had said they have been looking for a top 6 forward to add but they need to do that in free agency and if they can't, don't trade these guys who are the few promising young forwards we have. McMichael is playing really really good, he has surprised me. Cristall is killing it right now and just needs to mature and work on his skating to be a top 6 forward in 2 to 3 years. I contend that this years 1st rounder will be in the top 10 so they should want to make that pick.
