Pretty sure the person making this post doesn't really know NSH if he thinks Holtz == Askarov

I am not a Nashville fan, nor am I pretending to be.

They are similar in value

Keeping Zegras over that offer for sure

I was just throwing out names. What is Anaheim’s biggest need that could be filled with Zegras trade?

I had thought a legit sniper/finisher…and defensive RD. That right?

Yes sir — I just really don’t think we move Z though either

I want to see a Carlsson McTavish Zegras 1 2 3 punch down the middle

Can fully respect that. Young top-6 centers are pretty much impossible to acquire via trade. Am not really expecting to see a Zegras trade anytime soon…(especially selling low on him).

Tomasino would be of no interest that is for certain. There just isn't room for another forward coming back. Don't get super invested in the lines combos but...

Gauthier - Carlsson - Strome
Killorn - McTavish - Terry
Vatrano - Lundestrom - XXX
Jones - Groulx - Leason

McGinn - Johnston

So XXX could easily just be Zegras (would 100% shuffle lines then) or Holtz. I'd be much more interested in Nashville's 2024 1st on top of Holtz to even the deal. But that would have to be a draft table trade, knowing both where the pick lands and who is on the board at that spot.

Zegras - Carlsson - Terry
Gauthier - McTavish - Killorn
X - Lundestrom - Strome
Jones - X - Leason

Vaakanienen - Fowler
Mintyukov - Gudas
Lacombe - Lindstrom


This is the more probable lineup post deadline assuming Vatrano, Henrique and Lyubushkin are all dealt.

This.

Z and Holtz are like 10 months apart in age. Z has back-to-back 60 pt seasons and Holtz’s 23 points are a career best. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a solid prospect and I’d love to add him, but these guys are in completely different tiers. We’ll take him for Gibby since he doesn’t fit our compete window very well, absolutely not Zegras
