Summary

Jeff and Greg discuss a comparison of Trevor Zegras and Pavel Datsyuk, the idea of not trying to change players stylistically and who the GM of the Year candidates are. Next, they look how things have gone so bad for the Sharks, the potential of getting Macklin Celebrini and if Mike Grier has done what was needed to be done. To wrap up, Jeff and Greg chat about how great a Boston-Florida series would be, the battle between Washington and Detroit down the stretch and the video tribute to Jake Guentzel in Pittsburgh. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

my face when John Bucigras said that Trevor Zegris is the next Pavel Datsuk probably would suffice. I mean, first of all, he did say that the idea that Zegris on the Red Wings would be a very interesting proposition. I agree with it. I think that he, I think given what they need up front, given it his age and given where their build is right now, like he'd be an interesting fit there. I mean, and honestly, like, obviously, like, there is a little bit of history with Rebeacon.

Eiserman. build is right now. Like he'd be an interesting fit there. I mean, and honestly like, obviously like there is a little bit of history with

Every time there's a transaction of the NHL, you look for those connections.

1:16.3

I know he's got the skills.

1:17.4

I know there are some comparable attributes to Zegress's game to that, which made

1:24.0

Dadsook a, you know, Hall of Fame player, in my estimation at least.

1:28.3

Yeah.
