But at the same time, you have to acknowledge that he has warts. The team's timeline is reset. If you can get a package like the one being discussed, why wouldn't he do it? There is a lot to like about the guy, but there are also a lot of questions. It isn't like he is a 1C.

True he does.. But

for team that can’t score goals and threatens no one offensively without him in the lineup. It would be really dumb to get rid of him.

Oh no!!!! They made trades.
But not the right trades.
But the trades we needed.
But also, go (frank) yourselves.

make a trade NOT THAT TRADE!!!!111

Is he the right player for this team, though?
- Powerslave

remember briere was not a wizard on defense he had the perfect teammates to help with that

Is he even a C? He's a winger no?
- DirtyDan

He’s much better in the middle…. He proved that when he came back from injury..

This cost us a trade with Philly. So Malenstyn cost us a piece on the top six. If we are looking at it this way.

I hate the logic that it's a free pick, so giving it away is fine. It wasn't a free pick and giving it away isn't fine.

And they had to have known that when they made the trade. If that is the case, they couldn't have been that shot in the rear with whatever they were getting back. I like Konecny better in the short term, but I want no part of him long term.

Also, if the difference in the outgoing prospect is Helenius vs. Savoie, I would think that we would all pick Savoie to be the one leaving.

Yeah he’s a kid… and his game dramatically improved -

esp on the D side… he’s def got room to grow in the dot for sure… He’s better @ C than wing and he’s 23 …. It will serious screwup by Verbeek trading him…

we can’t score goals, so let’s trade our most gifted offensive player…that’s some brain dead management nonsense there -
- dozerD10

Room to grow on the dot.. he's a 40% guy. That's turrible(right there with our centers)

If you can get 3 nice pieces for him I don't see why you wouldn't.

You guys also can't keep goals out of your net. Bottom 3 in both stats.

Playing for the Swarm… Who I think we can all agree is basically the worst coach NHL ever seen… and with wings that were basically ECHL level players… 🙄🙄🙄🤨🤨🤨🤣🤣🤣

For the record, I’m fine with it. May as well do something! Overpay or not. I just like feeding into the nonsense.

So grabbing 3 premium pieces for a 1 dimensional player(currently as it looks) sounds like a solid plan for you guys. You aren't making any noise next year. Improve for the future. Keeping Zegras doesn't do that IMO.

They're also into some players with the Flyers but I don't think it's serious right now frost has been the topic .

Ifnhe plays on cozens line, cozens can take the draws then switch to wing during play. Might allow cozens to relax more. A line of cozens zebras and Quinn would be dynamic

Would that move Cozens or Thompson to the wing?

Well it does seem like Verbeek is hell bent on getting rid of him… might as well maximize the return… 🧐🧐🧐🧐

This place is quite a bit jaded by Skinner's recent stay. While they both absolutely refuse to play defense, Zegras is quite a different player. Honestly he'd be incredibly fascinating to watch play with Cozens and Quinn. He would match up quite well with their play styles.

He also has a bad rap league wide with his attitude. Not that I know personally.

I believe it was made known he's going to be traded. Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't it when, not if.
