Quoting: GeneralLandro
We accept none of these
Z’s value is one thing and then what we would trade him for is another
We are not shopping Zegras, we need to be blown away to trade him
It’s also funny because all your trades are completely different values — Washington has like 3 times the value to us than that terrible Pittsburg deal
I thought it was reported that Verbeek is not actively shopping him, but listening/considering on offers for Zegras?
In general I think gauging Zegras' value is hard at the moment for a few reasons...
1) He's only 22, so he's still in that developmental stage of his career.
2) Small-ish sample size with only two full-seasons under his belt with respectable numbers, and then falls off a cliff this year.
3) He's surrounded by other young talent that are thriving despite playing on a poor team, so what does that say about him?
IMO he's a coin-flip. In two years from now he could be putting up 30 goals and 90 points, or he could be exactly what he is this season, so I think keeping him is a gamble if you consider what you could get for him right now vs. if he continues to fall of a cliff. From the perspective from a team trading for him, he's a gamble. Giving up top assets for a player who may just need a change of scenery and different system, but on the hook for almost $6M for two more years if he really is what he is now.
The deals above are all over the place.
