'Best Hockey Player of All Time': Trevor Zegras Disrespects Connor McDavid With New Comments
Trevor Zegras was traded to Philadelphia this summer, and he's seemingly thankful as he no longer has to play Quinn Hughes, who he paid huge respect to.
This off-season has been rather quiet around the National Hockey League, but there have been some big moves made, with one of the most surprising being the trade that saw Trevor Zegras acquired by the Philadelphia Flyers.
The move sent one of the most talented players in the NHL to a team with another budding star in Matvei Michkov, but after Zegras struggled over the past two years, he'll need to do some major work to build back up his confidence.
Trevor Zegras Shares Major Praise for Quinn Hughes, Despite Connor McDavid's Excellence
During a recent interview with ESPN, Zegras addressed the move to Philadelphia, noting that there's one thing in the West especially that he won't miss.
I never want to play Quinn again. He's the best hockey player of all-time.
That comment was towards Canucks captain Quinn Hughes after Zegras addressed moving to a division with his two brothers, but unfortunately for Zegras, there's still some incredible players in the Metropolitan Division that are going to give him headaches.
Despite this being an opinion, there are some that look to the likes of Connor McDavid as the best player in NHL history, but given how different players look at things, it's no surprise to see Zegras hold a different opinion.
Zegras notably played in McDavid's division as well.
Many NHLers may refer to Sidney Crosby, Artemi Panarin, Alex Ovechkin, Sebastian Aho and more as their 'best player', but Zegras' unique shifty style may lead him to lean more on Quinn Hughes' similar tactics -- his time playing with him in the US National Team Development Program certainly didn't hurt.
Is Trevor Zegras crazy for praising Quinn Hughes like this, or is McDavid not as untouchable as many think?
