Sujet: Comparing Zegras to other RFA Trades w 4 YRs of Control
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I don’t really think ANA needs a center tbh. They’re pretty loaded up there with Carlsson and Mactavish. They direly need defensive help though and scoring wingers.

They have some good options at defense but they all seem to be more of puck movers in Drysdale, Mintyukov and Zellweger. Not entirely familiar with the depth of their prospect pool. I’m also very unsure of why Anaheim even would want to bridge Zegras. They don’t need to save the cap space right now, may as well front load it if they’re concerned with what type of player he projects to be.</div></div>

I am purely speculating here because there is virtually no information on this, but I think Zegras was the one pushing for a bridge. Best contract he could sign now is an 8x8, but if he takes $6M over the next three years and proves himself a star producer, with the cap going up, could be looking at a 8x10+

Although I think there is also some truth to Verbeek being skeptical to sign him for 8 years with a lot of question marks still on him. If that is the case, then I really dont understand it from the Ducks perspective but we may never know for sure

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MontysPython</b></div><div>it's hard to find a comp that fits the weird scenario.

A bottom feeder unwilling to part with money their atar deserves, lowballing him to ludicrous levels. The requirements are crazy hard to match.

Bottom of league team-
20 goal, 60pt player-
coming off of elc-
hypothetical trade reqs;defense prospect, center replacement.

But even then, what doesn't make sense is the replacement will be paid around as much as Zegras deserves. Really weird rumors. Maybe they're just that. Isn't confirmed yet, nor is the trade route rumor open.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>I forgot Kessel, but he went for two 1sts and a 2nd, close to the Dougie Hamilton trade. Yeah Zegras is a better player, but both had similar results on their final year of their ELC. Also, both were fringe stars that have another level to their game and also played the same position. Also LIRIK commented that Drouin was on the third line a lot, while Zegras was on the top line. Not a perfect comparison, but it is justifiable.</div></div>

Kessel, Selänne, Skinner, Zibanejad were contract related. Heatley, Seguin were off-ice factors. If a trade were to occur, I imagine we will hear it was $$ issue, which is why I listed those. Some may claim a little Seguin in Zegras too.

Love the comps approach.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>I take issue with the Drouin comp. Although he was the same age as Zegras is now, their production is very different in the two years leading up to the trade.

Drouin 15-16: 39 pt pace
Drouin 16-17: 60 pt pace

Zegras 21-22: 67 pt pace
Zegras 22-23: 66 pt pace

On top of that, Zegras is an extremely marketable fan favorite. It should take more than Slafkovsky and a 2nd to get it done imo.</div></div>

Drouin was stuck playing 3rd line his first two season in Tampa, while Zegras played 1st line. I think value should be close.

And Slafkovsky value is higher than Sergachev was. Not sure MTL should be adding a pick.

I think if a trade was to be made for Zegras, it would have been for MTL 5th overall pick at the 2023 draft.

Sujet: Good Draft from Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>I like Moore a lot, but would have taken Perreault personally. Perreault and Bedard could be the next McDavid and LD combo. That said, not upset at all with Moore as he's a heck of pick at #19.

I would love to see Cristall tomorrow and also Jayden Perron with one of our other 2nds.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BrodeurBro30</b></div><div>Yea, I liked Perreault too. I just think Davidson wants to build this team down the middle. There’s nothing wrong with that and getting a guy like Moore (who was slipping in the draft) is A+ work by GM Davidson. You need players who can play with everyone and elevate your linemates and Moore is that guy.</div></div>

I wanted Perreault at 19, Moore was my 2nd choice, but it's hard to complain in this deep draft. Hawks have their 1-2C punch for the next 15 years with those two, and if either one needs to transition to wing, Reichel/Nazar can also play C. The top end speed Moore has is exciting, I'll take that Dylan Larkin comp all day at 2C. Slam dunk for the Hawks.

It's hard to judge since I haven't seen most of these kids play. But on paper, a big head scratcher is Minnesota taking Stramel at 21, instead of Perrault. Perrault dropped 132 pts in 63 games, which was more than his teammates Will Smith and Leonard, who went 4th and 8th. (pts aren't everything of course). Where Stramel only put up 12 pts in 33 NCAA games. Stramel is MASSIVE at 6'3, 222 lbs, but that to me means that he is already in his man body and couldn't produce. I get that he is also a local but that should be a tie breaking factor, not a main factor.

On paper this Minnesota pick doesn't make sense to me. They should have gone with Perrault.

That's my rant of the draft haha
