Trevor Zegras back on the trade market, could the Sabres make the move?

Trevor Zegras' name is back on the trade rumormill for what seems like the third year in a row, and the Sabres are mentioned in said rumor. We revisit Zegras as an idea, from his game, to his contract, to where he'd fit in the Sabres lineup. How different is his value from last year?
Plus, do the Sabres and Capitals have a trade cooking? And Joe previews Game 7 between the Panthers and Oilers!

[@Gritty1776]

Why did we get rid of Mitts only to be interested in Zegras now?

[@markscarupa4713]

Rosen/ostlund and 11 for a smallish offense only guy? Count me out...

[@maxwellcarlscott]

thanks again joe. Hey Quick Q: Wondering if you could do a segment this summer talking about the offsides rules / review. been watching some Euro's and i think offsides reviews are ruining the game. I think the nhl and other sports need to go back to it being a judgement call and fans need to live with the decisions that are made by a human there. if its too close to call, then its too close to call. less offsides = more excitement and more goal scoring. theres nothing more deflating than getting a goal called back over a tiny offside margin or one that happend far ahead of the goal scoring play. whats the point of even having linesmen on the ice then? they are just in the way. think its a discussion worth having.

[@robertstroud7561]

Well stated.

[@AAA-o4g]

Agree, plus the time they take up....when did it start ?

[@joellachance7335]

We already have a small player that scores and doesn’t know how to play defence. Skinner

[@matthewkabel6246]

Skinner is far worse defensively and as a playmaker than Zegras, and Zegras isn't nearly the finisher Skinner is. Not similar players at all

[@Liv4epicness11]

Enough with Zegras already. Undersized diva who is a defensive liability. I’d rather take Pavel Buchnevich or Travis Konecny.

[@tthreepo4291]

I wouldn't trade the rights of Matt Molson out of retirement for that kid...

[@Sabres1970]

😂😂😂

[@matthewkabel6246]

Spoken like a true oldhead

[@scottpeterson9958]

Zegras is just younger Skinner

[@matthewkabel6246]

They're completely different players

[@jeffreyg4626]

Now why would the Sabres trade for Zegras when they need players who are mentally tough, physical, and miserable to play against? Because young kids think Zegras is cool? I'm hoping and praying this is Joe's ridiculous line of thinking and NOT the thinking of the General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres.

[@lippscantelon9144]

Exactly.....this team needs to be tougher to play against

[@jammerz04]

Jesus Christ did you just propose we trade 11th overall, Ostlund and Krebs for Strome? Zegras sucks and he’s not better than cozens at D.

[@matthewkabel6246]

"Zegras sucks" Yeah, a guy who put up 61 and 65 points his first two years in the league on his ELC under the worst circumstances ever sucks. Listen to yourself

[@johnceko8302]

I wouldn’t even trade Noah Ostlund straight up for Strome.

[@grumpyscott17]

May I ask why? A 27 year old, 65+ point center locked into a reasonable contract sounds good to me.

[@joellachance7335]

Koneckny, Bennett, Zadorov. That’s my wish.

[@reynardus1359]

You want this guy of you're putting together a figure skating team

[@Colin-wr4nb]

Chad said the player is not Strome who he is referencing could be in trade.

[@heartoftexas8092]

Zegras for Krebs and a 2nd round in 2026. That's all he worth.

[@matthewkabel6246]

Delusion

[@heartoftexas8092]

Storme for Krebs and Ostlund and 2nd round this year.

[@daniellowe8074]

Sabres are getting rid of Olafson. Why would they get Olafson 2.0

[@Colin-wr4nb]

They are not trading from strome, they could have just signed him for free a couple years ago

[@Clyde-gz5dx]

Why do you keep pushing this Showboat Zegras? Absolutely not the type of player we need. Do you even watch the playoffs and see what wins and what does not?

[@JamesR1986]

Lets get stupid? Maybe Skinner to Washington is an idea that works for everyone. If Washington is just going to all in on OV's chase for the record, then having an offensive minded player on the team like Skinner might make a lot of sense. Skinner can do Skinner things because nobody cares in the Capitals organization cares about a being a winning organization right now.

[@ericellis2729]

Zegras is a no for me, dawg.

[@anordman9659]

Last year I gave up. There is no reason that the Sabres ever will improve. They trade Mittelstadt as the leading producer and they continue with selling Skinner. This shitshow will never end until Terry Pegula is forced to sell the team.

[@kmike58]

We have enough Midgets on the team who absolutely disappear when it’s time to play against a big tough physical opponent .

[@Sabres1970]

Trade for TZ F-nooooooooo.....no thanks !!!!!!!!

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

zegras is a junior player playing in the NHL

[@matthewkabel6246]

?

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

@@matthewkabel6246 he plays like a junior player in a senior league, not something you want/need in a playoff run. like marner.

[@Hockeydad90]

Your prediction did not age well lol

[@mikemayhem39]

I hope we trade for zegras, sign him to a huge deal and he gets like 30 points 😂😂 resign girgenbum and okposo too !!!! Leadership !!!!!

[@vernonhowell4070]

Yeah, bring in a locker room cancer and a player hated by almost every player in the league. Seems like a great idea.

[@matthewkabel6246]

I also love blatantly lying

[@joshuabalduf6659]

Wish you didn't endorse gambling. I hope FanDuel's paying a lot of money

[@tthreepo4291]

No. Nooooo. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.... nnnnoooooooooooooooo. Nope. Nada. Nunca. No thanks. Pass. Next. Denied...

[@TheDarthmalstrom]

Strome has no clauses go get em lol and they'll have to overpay cuz they're the Sabres

[@mortaljorma69]

FFS. That team does not need Zegras or any other soft clown.

[@hultsjam]

Enough of the zegras love affair

[@kaseygirl911]

I wanted Zegras and Hellebuyck last year. Still want hellebuyck but don’t know if I want Zegras still. Get 1-2 veteran forwards. Maybe a goalie. Let Levi develop 1 more year.

[@neilkennington2397]

Absolutely ZERO interest in Zegras! He is OVERRATED with a me me atitude! He is also like Skinner, a HUGE defensive liability! Would be interested in Dylan Strome but cant see Washington trading him especially if Backstrom has to retire due to injury.

[@matthewkabel6246]

You have no clue what overrated means eh

[@andregilbert545]

Fix our D, trade the 11th pick to Montreal for their 26th pick, Logan Mailloux and Arber Xhekaj.

[@petererckert165]

They wouldn't do it

[@eciura1]

We have Zegras, he's called Jeff Skinner.

[@matthewkabel6246]

They're completely different players

[@Optimization_Coach]

McDavid is the best player/skater to ever lace up skates.... NO Question for me!

[@jamesmiller6217]

You’re too young.
