Thread: Zegras
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I’m not sure you could’ve missed reality by much more than you did here tbh. It’s not really your fault though, ANA hockey is tough to watch so I wouldn’t expect other fans to see much of it. You may feel Z is unwanted in your opinion, but there’s a reason you won’t find a single Zegras trade on this platform coming from a fan of the team that has him and watches him play.

Pay less attention to the media portrayal and watch a game or two (if you can subject yourself to that much Ducks hockey 🤦‍♂️), and I’ll be very surprised if you don’t change your mind. The media makes him out to be some cocky, 2x/year flashy goal scorer who thinks he’s hot s*** after an undeserved chel cover. In reality the dude is everything you want in a locker room guy. The most positive player on the ice, easily my guess for the Duck who loves the game of hockey the most, and has a team-first and pass-first mentality. His defensive game came a long way this season (statistically and to the eye test), though understandably has a ways to go for a now-23 year old. Faceoffs are his crux though. He definitely needs to figure out how to win faceoffs unless he’s cool to play wing full time. He’s garbage on the dot</div></div>

You couldn't be more wrong.
He's available cause he's a coach killer.
Verbeek &amp; all GMs know this.
I understand how your fans like his style &amp; points though
