Why Zegras Could Cause Problems This Year…
Philadelphia didn’t just add a name; they added a headache for every team on their schedule. Trevor Zegras lands in the Metro with something he hasn’t had in two years: a clean runway, a clear role, and linemates built to turn seams into goals.
If you think the last two seasons tell you who he is, you might be reading old receipts. This year, the combination of health, usage, and talent around him could flip his story overnight—and if that happens, he won’t just fit in. He’ll cause problems.
He arrives with contract-year urgency, a return to center where his touch actually drives play, and a power-play slot that lets him manipulate defenders instead of chasing the puck. Put Michkov’s timing on one side and a finisher on the other, and coverages start bending before the puck even crosses the blue. Philly didn’t buy a highlight; they bought a puzzle opponents still haven’t solved.
