I’m really getting tired of these Zegras to Montreal trades. They’re all the exact same trade every time and every time all Ducks fan say no.

Why are Montreal fans so consistent on wanting to continue to piss is off because of a garbage rumor brought up by Frank Seravalli.

So for the last time THE DUCKS ARENT TRADING TREVOR ZEGRAS TO MONTREAL SO STOP CREATING THESE

He added on top of the 5th overall

Not all Montreal fans want to trade for Zegras. It's a small fraction of fans that do.

However, I do agree with you ONE rumor brought these HUNDREDS of trade proposals of Zegras to Montreal. Currently Montreal and Anaheim are not good trading partners. Both are trying to fill holes and doing so creating other ones if they would proceed making a trade.

To all other ACGM, stop beating a dead horse with these trades.

A 5’9 forward and a LHD is two huge no’s for the ducks, pretty easy pass like the other 10,000 Zegras trades to Montreal for the last 5 months

these are the same fans who are saying Michkov is the next Yakupov (they are nothing alike)

Here's the problem, OP.

Draft picks, and prospects for that matter, carry risks. Some can't elevate their game to the NHL level, some aren't durable enough for the NHL, some even stall out before they get to the AHL level. Both the prospects offered in this deal are not good pieces. They are skilled, but undersized, they will require sheltered minutes in bottom 6/pairing roles, and on top of that, you're offering them to a team that has several better options at those positions than those pieces offered. If you were offering this package to a team devoid of depth in their pipeline, those pieces might mean something, to Anaheim, they are worth less than the contract spot they tie up. They do not add any value to the Ducks. You also offer 9OA, where Zegras was taken, in a star studded draft, which this is not. Yes, there are good players taken from 8-10 every year. Bo Horvat, Dougie Hamilton, etc. there are also busts taken in that range. Tyson Jost, Alex Nylander, Adam Boqvist, Derek Pouloit, etc.


Zegras is already a proven NHL top 6 forward that can play C or LW, he's barely 23 years old, and has his RFA rights intact at the conclusion of his current deal, which is a reasonable one for him to grow into.

So, under the auspicious of trades needing to work for both teams, Anaheim is giving up a known top 6 forward with plenty of upside left, and we're getting back the pick we used to select him, but in a much weaker draft, and a couple of meh prospects that don't fit the mold of Ducks hockey, nor fill needs on the team. The odds of which team wins this deal are heavily stacked in Montreals favor. You offer nothing meaningful outside the pick. This is why we say we're not moving Zegras unless it's for an impact piece as the main part of the deal.

Reinbacher and MTLs 25 2nd (Gauthier trade comp)

5OA+Beck+Kovacevic

Select one of the two offers.above and you might have a deal, anything less, Zegras stays in California.

That their justification for passing on Michkov to take Reinbacher?

yes lmao

Not a chance Anaheim trades Zegras for 9th overall, an undersized forward about whom even some Montreal stalwarts are now dubious, and a useless-to-us redundant LhD.


Read more carefully. It's not the 5th overall, it's the 9th overall.

Habs would never trade the 5th overall for softie overrated primadona Zegras.
I hope he never comes to Montreal.

Not quite Habs have been drafting more based out skill plus attitude and I’m not a scout or anything but they have their reasons to not go for Michkov. Could be as simple as he didn’t want to play there so why waste a 5th on a player that won’t play for you
