"The consensus among teams is that Verbeek is playing hardball and is not looking to give a key asset away for a package centered around draft picks and prospects. The Ducks remain high on Zegras’ potential and unless a team steps up to the plate this week and offers what Verbeek is looking for, Zegras is likely starting the 2024-25 campaign in Orange County."

Code for "Don't call me about Zegras unless you're prepared to walk bowlegged for a week."

Oh heck yeah

Zegras = Nate Danielson and your 2024 first
Gibson = Copp, Husso and your 2025 second

You might get Nero Yzerman to trade you Seider, Raymond and a 1st for Gibson.

He's gone full Mike Milbury! 😬

This is what happens when your owner says to you "Make the playoffs or else you're fired."

Panic mode creating panic moves!

ANA isn't using Zegras to move off Gibson. But Gibson for Husso + a medium asset seems increasingly plausible lately.

Also trying to sneak Robby Fabbri's contract in there is quite funny.

Fabbri's deal is 1 year and he's a solid player and been healthy. More of a sweetner, DET could retain some of his salary for the year if ANA wants it. Main pieces are the 2x picks + kasper and bergerren and husso as the goalie replacement
