Most overated players voted by NHL players. Is it enough to change your mind on Zegras if available?

  2. So 13 players out of 101 thinks he’s the most overrated. Ok. Now if you don’t overpay for the player I don’t see the issue

  3. I mean, I’m not big on Zegras, but more people voted for Tkachuk or Robertson and I’ll gladly take them.

    back to back 60 points seasons at 20-21 years old while in a dogshit team is overrated ? also Tkachuk and Robertson ?

  5. Zegras can be good, but often he’s invisible. He might be worth it for the right deal, but Anaheim doesn’t need D so I don’t see Montreal being a good fit for a trade.

    He was chosen for the cover of NHL23 ahead of at least 30 guys who are better, or more deserving. It doesn’t make him a bad player, but it does make him overrated.

    It’s always the cost with trades. If he’s got a bit of a bad reputation, maybe you can buy low if you think you can turn him around. If he was a perfect gentleman, the Ducks wouldn’t be open to trade him in the first place, and if they were it would cost an arm and a leg, like Suzuki+.

    I’d take every one of these overrated players in a heartbeat.

    The Zegras hate starts to be as ridiculous as the Brock Purdy hate

  10. I’m completely baffled by this trend of Habs fans wanting Zegras.

    He’s not that good, he can score some crazy skilled goals, but overall he’s not that good of a player, and loads of players around the league have said how he shit talks on the ice but not in a chirping way, in an asshole way, and there’s a lot of rumors with substance that he’s not a great teammate and is bad for the room.

    I would never want a player like that on the team…

    I’m all in on Zegras for the right price. The question is what is the price the Ducks want?

    The Ducks have a ton of center depth with Carlsson, MacTavish, Gauthier, and Gaucher. They have enough LHD depth with Mintyukov and Zellweger that they didn’t mind trading Drysdale. They are a bit thin on RHD’s and wingers.

    So they will either want a 1 for 1 prospect trade similar to the Drysdale/Gauthier deal, such as Zegras for Reinbacher, which is a non-starter for us, or they want a haul of players and picks with lower upside, but that fill holes for them, similar to Iafallo+Vilardi+Kupari+2nd vs Dubois.

    In any case, I would wait until the season has ended to acquire Zegras. The position of our draft picks will affect what kind of deal I would be willing to make to acquire Zegras. But if the Ducks accept something centered around Mailloux + WPG 1st with some extra stuff on top, I think this approaches the value WPG got for PLD and it’s definitely worth the risk.

    A player as good as Zegras almost never reaches the trade market at such a young age.

    Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
    Newhook – Dach – Zegras

    vs

    Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
    Newhook – Dach – Anderson

    Adding Zegras completely changes the team (if the team can finally be healthy next year).

    I don’t know about Zegras, but I sure hope we don’t trade for Greg Other. Super overated.

    THIS IS THE STUPIDEST POLL IN HISTORY OF POLLS

  14. TonyComputer1

    No. Players vote for most overrated based on who they envy/dispise. Look at Matthew Tkachuk at 4. You telling me that guy is overrated? Give me a break.

  15. Electrical_Analyst65

    They need to stay far away from Zegras. If a rebuilding team like Anaheim is willing to move him then I start questioning about is wrong with him. 

  16. South_Sun_1335

    I’ve been saying this about Other for years!

  17. Don’t people actively shit on nurse already? Don’t see how you’re overrated when people think you’re bad.
