I did not cover Zegras in my initial preview because - despite having a lot of hype around his skill and vision - to me he reads like a more long term project. This year was a rare “down” year for the Ducks and I cannot see them having another high first rounder for at least another five or so years. They need to select a kid that is going to get to the NHL fast and make an impact. Trevor Zegras, although bigger than Hughes, has some scouts concerned about his lack of development.
