No thanks
WintertimeLivingEasy
no thanks, who would want a 22 y/o with two 60+ points season, he has too much potential for the fans
manwithoutcountry
I’m not super keen on Zegras, but it would be the time to trade for him if they wanted him. His trade value is just about at rock bottom.
thomas_bombadill
Depends where our 1st round pick lands this year / who’s available. There’s no real other way for us to get him other than trading that pick
yulDD
And Crosby and McDavid, and….bunch of players would a good fit…bottom line is what they want for him, not giving up Hutson or Malhoux thats for sure. Older wood, maybe
slafyousillier
If it involves the Winnipeg pick, cool
triscos1995
Make it happen Kent!
dalopam0
Why would the Ducks trade him?
Skeletaur
100% would take him for any combo of the following :wpg 1st ,our 1st, Matheson, Barron, Harris, Xhekaj, Evans , Anderson .
PKG0D
The only way I see this working is a pre-planned draft day deal where our first rounder is in play and Hughes can trade out if the players he likes are gone by the time we pick.

There’s no room for him here. We have Suzuki and Dach, and hopefully we are adding either Lindstrom or Catton at the draft. He wouldn’t play over Suzuki, and I wouldn’t play him over Dach either, despite his points. The other two play a more complete game. So unless he’s coming over as a winger, there really isn’t a spot for him, and I wouldn’t want to give up what ANA would be asking either.
Legitimate-Tell-6694
Feel like Button’s killing the rumor by saying this.
mdlt97
for the right price, it would make so much sense
at 20 he put up 61 points (on pace for 67), Suzuki put up 41 (on pace for 47) at the same age
the top 6 would be looking like Suzuki, Slaf, Cole, Zegras, Dach, (FA/Trade/Draft), that would be amazing
Habsfan_2000
I’ve heard this rumour but he also just signed a three year contract in October.
Philly514
Yeah, but what’s his character/60?
kozed
Button was the Calgary Flames GM who waived Martin St-Louis.
For that, I’ll forever never trust his judgement, ever.
Legitimate-Tell-6694
I’m down. Ryder, Halak, and a 2nd.
ScareCrow13-
Like all teams they would want either Dach or Ghule involved so no.
1st round pick + B prospect or something like that, yes.
jomagnum
Lol, I’ll never care about what Button has to say
Kiiiriin
you keep your pick and draft one of Berkly Catton or Zayne Parekh and then you end up having a better player than Zegras.
kingkellam
Craig said it, so now we are definitely not getting zegras. Better luck next time!
GoldenHourShower
I don’t want him unless he comes cheap. Would be funny to add yet another 2019 first rounder to the stable. Much rather have Boldy though
hab27
This isn’t even a rumor lol

Zegras sucks, don’t do it.

jpo2533
Wonder if they would take primeau and Harris
TrustinJudoPMMA
Why tho; Zegras would dilute a beauty concoction you guys are brewing
EmmyHomewrecker
Why would we go for him, though? Unless we’re planning to genuinely go for the playoffs next year, I don’t know why Zegras would want to come here. Especially since he’d be second line.
jadenspan
If they will take one of Gallagher or Armia back I would be happy
Extreme_Ebb4319
CGY 1st round pick (2025) + Justin Barron
admarsden
Haven’t seen this sub so horny to trade premium picks/prospects for an overrated flawed player since PLD. Jesus Christ.
blitz403
No please no. He has no heart. All flash no grit. I know Cole is buddies with him but Cole has better friends/role models now lol.
Muter91
Not super interested in Zegras. While he is flashy, can he produce without premier opportunities/minutes? Can he be a net positive player on a cup contending team? I don’t think so. Not a fan of his style, he is soft.
papinho-caralho
Would love it but i have a hard time coming up with a proposal that the ducks would accept. They’re packed in terms of D prospect, our strongest assets. Our next two 1st round picks are maybe too good to trade, same with CGY’s. WPG’s not good enough…
newf_13
If Montreal had problems selling season tics I would say go get Zegras but HE’S NOT THAT GUY to take us to the promise land !
ViolinistMean199
I’m not a habs fan but this would be an exciting trade. Zegras Caufield and Suzuki. I would watch some habs games then
TimCanadien
Zegras? No thanks.

I would rather trade our surplus of defenseman for one or two 19 y/o prospects and roll with it.

I have a hard on for Zegras to Montreal.
galchy27
ryder + halak + 2nd
DocGubernaculum
I’m surprised by the shade being thrown at Zegras in this sub the last couple of week. Getting this player would be beyond amazing for our club for the right price.
I don’t get people saying he is over rated. Last season if he was on our team he would have been nearly tied with Suzuki for the team lead in points (65 pts in 81 games). The year prior he had 61 pts in 75 games as a 20 year old. All this while playing with *checks notes* Sonny Milano.
He is an elite offensive talent and if you can give up 2 late first rounder s and good prospect your absolutely do it.
MB in his tenure always said that players like this do not become available, if we have a chance at one we should take it.
Unlikely-Strategy596
Most overrated player in the league imo. Reminds me of Kadri when he played for the leafs just without the grit/pest.
Expert-Adeptness-397
Not interested unless the ducks will take scraps.
antrage
lol collecting 2019 first rounds like they are trading cards. Let’s keep going maybe we can get kakkko for cheap
a-ruudz
A little off topic but if were willing to give up a 1st + for someone like Zegras we should consider prying a disgruntled David Jiricek from CBJ maybe instead. Hes a top 4 RD in the making and we could ship winnipegs pick + one of our LDs log jamming the left side to make room for a pretty solid talent on the right side. Would round off a top 4 D core nicely with Hutson and Reinbacher in the mix.
Just IMO a really talented RD has a bit more value than Zegras. The offence hopefully comes with the emergence of slaf &more consistent health with dach and Newhook.
