NHL Trade Rumors: Are the Ducks Open to Trading Trevor Zegras?

Martin Biron remarked, “If you check out the trade watch list on thefourthperiod.com, it would make for an excellent segment on a late-night talk show. The headshots of players like Rasmus Ristolainen and K’Andre Miller are memorable, but Trevor Zegras stands out with a headshot that reflects a nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of a high school graduate in the ’80s who is a fan of Motley Crue. The buzz around Zegras is increasing, and many are speculating if he will be traded before the deadline.”

Dave Pagnotta followed up with, “The Ducks are open to listening to offers, and if the right deal comes along, they will consider it. This season has not met the expectations they had for him; they anticipated he would return to a near-point-per-game pace, ideally around 70 points. However, he hasn’t reached that level yet. Thus, while they may reassess in the summer, it’s clear that Anaheim is willing to entertain options for Zegras.”

Additionally, Pagnotta noted, “Zegras has a favorable contract situation, which makes him appealing to other teams. Anaheim sees significant potential in him, and there are indications that they might be shifting their focus towards strengthening their defense. This could mean that any deal involving Zegras may likely involve acquiring a young, NHL-caliber defenseman in return.”
