Sujet: Comparing Zegras to other RFA Trades w 4 YRs of Control
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caufield</b></div><div>Ahh makes sense, I understand more what you trying to do. I think Reinbacher would make more sense if you are trying to follow that model since he is similar to Sergachev in terms of prospect situation</div></div>

I considered Reinbacher, but a) you don’t trade a top draft pick NOT even a year into the season, b) he filled a massive need at RD and is presumed to be Lane Hutson’s future partner and c) How does trading Reinbacher not get PR flack and enrages the entire fan base, after passing on Michkov? Management is all in on Reinbacher succeeding, arguably more so than Slaf imo.

That being said, the Habs have the most intriguing prospects and young talent available. They realistically could beat any other team for Zegras, if they wanted to and ANA lacks PWR FWDs and elite RHD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></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.</div></div>

This is true, I admit it’s not a perfect comp, but it’s close enough and I think there’s an argument for it, which is why I included it. Drouin and Zegras were both high picks, and both hyped as players who are fringe stars, but have/had another untapped level to their game.

Any trade would have been done near the draft, I also agree. It’s tough now because most teams are against the cap right now. I forgot to add picks would be conditional based on games, like the Drouin trade. And yes, Slafkovsky has better value than Sergachev at the time. This is more of a best offer and I think of all teams, the Habs control the table in a Zegras deal compared to the other teams.

<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>

It’s difficult to find up and coming star players who get moved right after their ELC. It’s very rare and usually the team that drafted them will give an extension. I get what you are saying though and my idea was Drouin was also an up and coming player that had another untapped level (hindsight, he never broke through). Many are saying about Zegras, though we can all admit Zegras is a much better player than Drouin was at the time.

Sujet: Good Draft from Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Moore at 19 is an absolute dream scenario. How he made it that far is beyond my understanding.</div></div>

GM Kyle Davidson agrees with our assessment. He was trying to trade up to select him. I’m so surprised he fell to 19. A+ pick, A- draft for Davidson. Only thing that prevents an A was getting a 3rd 1st. I understand Perreault was there, but you can’t pass on a guy who was going higher than Perreault in every draft, arguably the best skater in the draft, and is known for playing with everyone and elevating his linemates. It’s very clear Chicago wants to build a team off speed and transition.

Tank year was justified. It feels good to finally start seeing the light. We will look back at this draft as the turning point of this franchise.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>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</div></div>

Minnesota went for position over BPA. We all knew the Wild were in the hunt for a big center with a 2 way game and can do board work for Kaprizov. Don’t know if Stramel is that guy, but you just can’t pass on Perreault. I will say this, the Rangers are a place for prospects to die. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded and pops off elsewhere.
