Let me give you the typical Duck fan over reaction.

Reinbacher and an unprotected 1st Rd is the starter or Verbeek hangs up and blocks your number.

Its not a terrible offer but if he gets moved someone is gonna pay more

If the rift between Verbeek/Cronin and Zegras is actually serious, we'd be lucky to get Barron and the Montreal first, never mind Farrell.


Wrong.

Our standing request has always been Reinbacher and your 2025 second.

You guys act like getting benched for a bad penalty is a death sentence for a player, get over yourselves.

Verkbeek on the phone with Hughes:

"For a trade involving Zegras this is what we need in return Reinba....*click*, huh>? Hello.... he hung up on me."

Funny, Hughes was the one calling about Zegras, not the other way around.

As to you, you're not funny, or original, or even adding anything insightful.

& Ducks fans act like Zegras is the next coming of McDavid or something.

Zegras has become the most overrated, overhyped player talked about on here. I don’t remember the last time a 60 point player that’s a defensive liability got this much hype.

Let me give you the typical Habs fan logic

We want to trade for great young players but don’t want to give up any assets that would be needed to acquire those players

Well, gee, then you poor guys wont realize your year-long wet dream of acquiring Trevor Zegras.


It was Cole Caufield.

Sorry to hurt your feelings.

Nap time>?

Lol.

Caufield has never had a season of 0.32ppg and had fans asking for a top prospect + more in a trade. He actually gets results. Good try though.

hmm... a potential franchise RHD or a 1B/2nd line C...I wonder who's worth more value.

Reinbacher > Zegras

Habs made a mistake once before, trading a top prospect Sergachev... I don't see them making that mistake twice.

Your conception of Zegras' value by citing this stat says all we'll ever need to know about your insight and hockey knowledge. Not a good try; not even a fair try; kind of a middling-to-abysmally-poor try.

Guess you’ve missed all the other comments I’ve had with you about his poor play defensively, lack of progression, and the fact that he’s just a skilled guy.. but whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

Because a theoretical trade site demands a return yet a Ducks fan thinking the return shouldn't be made in theory because the Ducks dont have to move Zegras which in turn makes Zegras value inflate, somehow, because this is all in theory which doesnt make it reality but the current reality of the situation with the benchings and the hearsay doesnt matter in turn. This is the Gorilla Math of the very few Ducks fans here.

Make it, make sense.

ducks fans think they have jack eichel under their hand. can’t wait for him to get traded for pick #21 on draft day and see yall reaction.. “ well he was injured so that’s a respectable return for someone who didn’t have a place here anymore “ after having the balls to say Reinbacher + High 2nd💀💀. Y’all are dreaming.. Reinbacher? Seriously?

Go Ask Yzerman if he would do Edvinsson and his 2nd for Zegras.

Go ask Columbus if they would do Jiricek + 2nd For Zegras.

And the famous “ if no Reinbacher or Slafkovsky no Zegras”💀💀😂

Imagine saying a top5 nhl draft pick from last draft isn’t enough for Z and you still need to add more.

That guy has been wrong so many times and still talks like he's part of the Verbeek management group making demands lmao

Giving my usual disclaimer that I’m not a huge fan of Zegras…

It’s Winnipeg’s pick in a horrible draft. That’s a bad offer lol.

There’s no chance Zegras would return less than Newhook or Dach did

Caufield gets hype for the same reason Gallagher gets it
He's made for the Camera and loves to talk
they're Warriors even if they sometimes play under expectation
Its usually due to some reason that earns them respect in fans eyes.
Caufield his Gallagher moment was popping his shoulder back in and playing the rest of the game
After that he could never score another goal in MTL and fans will still love him if he plays with that intensity.

If Caufield going to be a top point producer? no, not in my opinion
Will he be a regular 30 and 40 goal scorer in his Career? yes and maybe
I see him more like Pacioretty but doesnt Float so maybe closer to a Kovalev then ? nah thats a high bar so Leclair, yeah actually Leclair fits decent


Where as Zergras i see more like Teemu without that 1 ridiculous season
Teemu was also undervalued right up into his final 5-6 years
Thats when fans around the league learned Respect for Teemu as up till then it was just judgement he didnt repeat his ridiculous rookie season i believe it was?
It wasnt until later Perspective set it

He was a reach at 5, he was slated to go in the early teens, and he's done nothing to break out this season to justify where he was picked, quit kidding yourself about him being a franchise player.

Different drafts
Dach draft wasnt deep , pick was worth much less
Newhook got a late 1st and early 2nd for Newhook so they could flip it and get Colton Ross who TBL had to flip cause they didnt have the cap to re-sign him

This draft is deep with a ton of 1st round Defensman both Left and Right shots so outside the top 2 how the domino's fall there's no consensus on among analysts.
I mean Eiserman pretty much had a lock on #2 preseason and now he's fallen as low as 9th in some projections and like Benson Last year is set to fall again
Its not that he's not playing amazing, he is. Its that those around him are playing that much better.

Wahhh ladies and gentleman we have a professional scout here.. “ he was a reach at 5” oh yeah? And i wonder why NSH and DET tried so hard trading up to take him. Stick yo bum ass to the poverty Ducks. “ he was slated to go in the early teens” i think you watched too many tankhaton mock drafts💀 “he’s done nothing to justify where he was picked “ Mr the scout should know how he’s playing in Laval no?

Keep the scouting talent hidden🔥🔥

Reinbacher was picked for 1 reason
He's Hutsons ideal Partner and thats Hughes saying it while trying to get MTL fans to put down their pitch forks
Now that he's here Laval is on a 3win streak since winnig 5 last 6 since Reinbacher joined adding 1 goal and 3 assists in that time.
Now fans are like "oooooo i get it uhhhh durrrr"

I said it when we got him, i wanted Michkov but Reinbacher i get as a choice
He's the perfect guy to Anchor Hutson and quite capable of defending him
At best we see him as our Erik Johnson which we happen to need
