I’m just assuming he means as a two-way threat…? but I’d have to hear the part where he goes into detail just how he came to such an assessment if so considering that is something we’ve never analytically/eye-test seen from Zegras.

And now we see why bucci is a great commentator and personality for the sport, but not an actual analyst or in a front office anywhere. Zegras isn’t even on the same planet as datsyuk.

Isn’t Zegras notoriously bad defensively?

I just don’t get the benefit in this. I guess it’s just to get people talking but still. Pavel was top ten in takeaways most years and zegras is one of the worst zegras. I think Raymond is closer to Pavel than zegras and Raymond is nowhere near Pavel.

Holy Schnikeys he’s an idiot

Datsyuk’s crawl space is higher than Zegras’ attic.

People today don’t seem to understand how great Datsyuk was defensively smh.

If anything, I see Zegras being more like Mike Ribeiro. Just a highly skilled douchebag.

Lmao oh my god these people are nuts 😂
Zegras isn’t a great goal scorer, and he’s a black hole defensively.
Did Buccigross ever watch Datsyuk play?
MentalShortFry
He’s got hands I’ll give him that…… but he will never be the 2-way player Datsyuk was with the way he is defensively.
He also lacks the work ethic Datsyuk had and I will always think he’s one of the most overrated players today

I think he has to mean offensively.

I’m convinced 90% of hockey fans never atually watched Datsyuk. Yeah he had crazy hands, but he was the best 2 way forward in the league for many years. Zegras is a liability on D.

Zegras might bounce back with a change of scenery but that’s a wild comparison to Datsyuk.

Buccigross is a Heidelberg University alum.
That’s my fun fact of the day.
