If we assume that Hughes really tried to trade for Zegras, then I would trust him to underpay.
At this point, I would go ahead with a first- and second-round pick but nothing more. Mailloux is playing better every game, while Zegras is stagnating.
No thanks
He’s gonna trade Reinbacher for Zegras.
And what do they do with Demidov next year? Demidov will be on the second line with Laine and Dach, do you put Zegras on the third line?
not that I want that kind of trade, but if Anaheim are after big and tough guy, I could imagine Xhekaj being the asset being trade (with a draft pick like a 2nd one)
Ughhh not again…
no thanks, ive always thought zegras is overrated and overhyped
Any players Montreal brings in must fit into the systems they are building, thinking theses systems will be fully implemented in a couple years.
Zegras is a diminishing trouble making player making $5.75 million a year for the next two years who is unhappy about it. They will have trouble extracting assets for him. Yes Here we will give you Dvorak to take this problem off your hands.
We need physical players not outdoor rink superstars
I'd rather we not touch Zegras at this point, we are already taking bets on a few players bouncing back without adding a new one to the mix.
Send Anderson down to Laval to "find his game"
Dach might retire on the spot if you stuck those 2 weirdos beside him. Could you imagine how terrible having Laine and Zegras in the same dressing room or at practice would be the team would implode with in weeks.
After seeing Mailloux start, I want to see him improve a bit before we move him. He has a higher ceiling as it stands than Struble and Barron because we just havent seen him enough.
If the asks is Barron + 1st, i think we do it. If its struble + 1st, lets do it. If its Mailloux + 2nd, probably do that too. Our defense will sort itself out, but we need to take some risks at acquiring top end forward talent.
Just for fun, this could be an interesting line-up in the near future…
Caufield—Suzuki—Demidov
Laine—Hage—Slafkovsky
Heineman—Zegras—Dach
F. Xhekaj—Beck—Kapanen
Tuch—Mešár
Gulhe—Reinbacher
Hutson—Mailloux
A. Xhekaj—Engstrom
Struble
Jacob Fowler
Jakub Dobeš
Dvorak, Heineman and a 2025 2nd
you guys still going on about zegras? Isn;t going to happen
It is getting pretty clear Zegras isn't gaining much traction with Cronin's style. He certainly has learned to play better defense, so one could say he is on the road to being a complete two way, and having everything fall into place may take a little while longer. Put Zegras on a team where they won't suppress his natural skills along with his newfound two way play and he can still be something special. That said, Verbeek isn't into bargains. Zergas may not command a top end prospects and a couple first round draft picks, but he still won't go cheap. Personably I like Cronin, but his approach with this team, especially the young players simply isn't working. I certainly wouldn't put all of it on Zergas. I was hoping it would be this year, but the kid has 70 point seasons written all over him. It just may not be with Anaheim which is too bad.
Yes…make it happen
What about Zegras for The Sheriff + pick ? Pretty sure Verbeek would love a physical Dmen.
Trading for Zegras would mean that the Habs have quit on Dach at center, Mailloux for Zegras is overpaid I think, give them Barron and a pick
To small
Same as Dubois. They wanted to come in MTL
Definitely should trade for zebras. I feel like he would thrive in canadiens market
Mailloux will be one of our top D, he’s a stud. He’s a top 2 D man all day long within 3 yrs
Trevor's probably chompin'at the bit to have Cole padding his stats again.
I would offer Philip Mesar and a 2nd round pick, no more. That seems fair. Cheers
Michkov
Zegras was the guy for awhile but Carlsson has definitely supplanted him as the player they are building around. A lot of Ducks fans seem to want to hang onto him but he really doesn't fit in the team Verbeek is trying to build, like what was touched on in the video, and he kinda feels like the odd man out. Zegas hasn't looked the same since breaking his ankle last season and maybe he just needs a change of scenery at this point.
