I wish. I'm old as dust and seen it all. Teams built with softies go nowhere fast, especially now in a cap league. He's no playoff type and a coach killer. The truth hurts, I know.
Sorry for mistaking you for a child, but I figured anyone beyond adolescence would base their argument on something at least remotely grounded in reality and not just pure conjecture. Please do share your evidence that every GM in the league knows that Zegras is a coach killer 😂.
His inability to be coached, and softness for big games totally explains why he was the MVP on the championship winning ‘21 WJC team, and just got asked to join the US for world’s. Coaches just reallllly despise this guy 🤡
Btw, here’s a Zegras quote from ANA’s.. coach. Last week
“I do think, and I said this back in October when he came to training camp late, the messaging for me was about, 'Hey, your offense is always going to be there. You got a super IQ on the ice, you make plays, but your focus on defense has to be equally as invested as your offensive focus.' And he tried. He did what we asked him to do. I think analytically, he did a really good job those first 10 or 12 games, whatever it was. He wasn't getting the points, but I was really impressed with his compete level and I was impressed with his defensive details.
So comes back and the poor guy breaks his ankle. Now he's behind the eight ball again. It's an 11 week absence. And then he comes out and again, I thought he was terrific. I don't know how many games he played until the end of the season, but he was visible. I think he probably had close to a point a game if I'm just thinking out loud. His plus-minus was good. So he did a lot of things that I think reflect a lot of growth as a person and as a player and I'm really excited for him. I'm excited to see how he works off of this in the fall.”
Let’s maybe just agree to disagree. But in the future, my recommendation would be to only argue about something so definitively if you actually have some knowledge on the subject 🤷♂️
