Why did Ducks move on from Zegras and why does he fit in Philly?



Why did the Ducks move on from Trevor Zegras and why does he fit well in Philadelphia? What do you think about the idea of trading Jason Robertson? What’s a story from Dallas that fits what’s happening with Mitch Marner? What’s a fair deal for John Tavares? Do you see Claude Giroux staying with the Senators? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

  1. The Leafs' fans always need a player to blame for playoff failures. Marner is the person right now. Tavares is the only member of the Core 4 to score a series winning goal. Why Matthews and Nylander aren't seen as part of the issue is ridiculous.
    With Matthews' chronic injury limiting his goal scoring he is likely going to be the next Kessel/Marner.

  2. Stammer got 4×8 and dropped the ball.

    Tavares just got overpaid for 7 seasons. I think he can take a bit of a hometown discount now or he can pound sand somewhere else.

  3. Nobody is saying that teams can't win the cup with Marner except Craig Button. The way the Leafs are constructed is why they can't win with him.

  4. Jason Robertson is on the block due to Cap space reasons. Hes the only Stars player who actually showed up these playoffs

  5. Button's viewpoint on Tavares is the correct viewpoint. How is he #8 when he is #1 on the list…like seriously. Tavares will forever be underrated

  6. Mitch Marner is getting the Kessel treatment. Didn't work out? Need to point the finger at someone .. He'll win elsewhere

  7. Who they heck dressed Button? He’s way too lanky to wear his tie that fat…and more than two different patterns put together makes you look like a clown. If that was the goal…mission accomplished.

  8. Button makes me laugh. Nashville signed Stamkos, and I'm sure regrets it now. He is terrible 5 x 5, and was a minus 36 this year with 27 goals. Tavares is in a similar situation, the coaches were protecting him defensively. At 4-5 million, he is a good signing. Realistically, he made over 100 million in his career, if it's about money let him walk. If he truly believes in playing and winning here, then take a team friendly deal and show it. Dallas has huge Cap issues, so Robertson probably will be going.

  9. No we can’t win with him on the leafs as they are put together now. Change the rest of the team and Marner fits.

  10. I think that trading Robertson would be foolish in the extreme. You don't think that Calgary wishes they would have kept Sam Bennett? The Stars would only regret trading Robertson once…….continuously.

  11. Zegras being a NY/CT kid I have always enjoyed watching develop into an NHLer however the All-Star game skills thing, with the costume was a low point and seemingly for his career as well. I hope he rebounds from the injuries he has had and turns into a legit NHL player. He has elite skills, a bit slight in build but has the tools. Let´s not make this the NHL TIKTOK.

  12. He'll do great in Philly. I have no doubt. Maybe centering Michkov. Danny just needs to add size to that line to protect those gems. And a goalie. We need a goalie

  13. That's one hell of a tie knot, Craig… but seriously, I think Philly's gonna try and get him to play either 2 or 3C, which they need more push in desperately.

  14. Philly will be a lottery team with a -85 goal differential but the few insane highlight reel goals per year from Zegras/Michkov/Drysdale combo are going to hit like the finest black tar.

  15. It sucks that we've moved him, but I can understand the broader thinking of needing to move on. But why now? Why when his value is the lowest of all time?
