After a quiet period, Trevor Zegras's name is making the rounds again in trade talks with the Montreal Canadiens.
The promising NHL youngster has become a point of reports by respected insider Frank Seravalli, indicating that his time in Anaheim may be coming to an end.
A trade involving Zegras appears very likely.
The Ducks are preparing to part ways with Trevor Zegras presenting an opportunity for Kent Hughes to make a move.
This summer seems to be shaping up for the Montreal Canadiens. In search of a top six forward like Kirby Dach or Alex Newhook the Canadiens seem poised to capitalize on multiple options available this year.
While uncommon this situation works in Kent Hughes's favor by driving down acquisition costs due to increased player availability (thanks to supply and demand dynamics).
With players like Martin Necas, Cole Perfetti, Alexander Holtz, Marco Rossi, Arthur Kaliyev among others on their radar, adding Trevor Zegras into the mix further strengthens Montreal's prospects.
«It seems that the Anaheim Ducks have reached their limit with forward Trevor Zegras.
