Still doesn't get Zegras

nothing realistic going on in this mock trade let’s be honest

"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."

Anaheim isn't retaining on Zegras or trading him for a bunch of scraps.

Also, in before that one guy shows up to tell everyone how much Z sucks and isn't worthy of a Bruins jersey lol

All GMs say that, trying to drive up price.
But, he is on trade block because they want to move him.
A 1st and a rostered player or a 1st and a top prospect seems to be the price(maybe a lower pick sweetener).

Saying he doesn’t want futures doesn’t drive up price

It’s saying he wants a hockey deal not futures

Your guess at price is nothing but baseless speculation

Zegras isn’t a fit in Boston and never will be. Reinhart will get that money from SOMEONE, just not Boston. If you don’t know, the Bruins needs are:
1: a top 6 center
2: a scoring winger
3: a depth LD
All players need to fit a certain style of play and culture of ‘team first/next man up’ mentality which has been ingrained in the Bruins psyche for the last 10+ years.
Reinhart would succeed in that environment but he most likely opts for a payday!
Zegras is talented, but still immature.
Even if he could change, spending that much on him is not worth the risk!
