I know I’m readying that wrong. Ross Johnson as LW3?! HUH

And the report about him not being a cultural fit is linked where, exactly?

And Roy is getting 5.5 for 7 years…

This is the kinda team that gets ANA another top 5-8 pick 🤮

This is the big assumption that pretty much every Canadian media source has made as to why he’s in the rumour mill. The idea that his game doesn’t fit with the team Verbeek is trying to build. That’s what I mean by cultural fit.

Assuming this is not a figment of my imagination, are you saying you haven’t seen any of this speculation?

Our GM has said he isn’t shopping Zegras and he was excited to see what he was able to do this season which he was injured all but the last 8 games pretty much — 8 points in the last 8 games feels pretty good too

Similar to Killorn, players like this get really nice contracts from rebuilding teams. But I don’t try to nail contracts when I’m just trying to get a feel for depth charts like this team.

I think they should try to develop Zegras into what looks like a perfect fit on that second line. If they trade him they immediately start looking for his skill set the next day.

He’s saying he isn’t shopping him because to do so changes his trade value mightily. Can’t go off what the GM says.

No, I was just confused by what you meant with "cultural fit" I thought you were talking about in the locker room or something. Not fitting the style of play o would consider a stylistic fit.

Oh I guess I meant both but yes, it would be pure speculation on my part, but I do wonder if Verbeek sees a hotshot brash kid and thinks he’s not a team identity fit.
