Now, we're gaining deeper insight into the Zegras situation, as Peter Baugh of The Athletic unveils Zegras' desired trade destination:

"What we can say is that Zegras, who trains in the offseason at Prentiss Hockey Performance alongside Chris Kreider, has had the Rangers as his ideal destination for a long time.

Baugh said.

Baugh reports that Zegras, who trains with star forward Chris Kreider during the summer, would prefer to join him as a teammate. Given the Rangers' center needs, this aligns well. While Baugh doesn't speculate on New York acquiring Zegras, the league-wide interest suggests it's a looming possibility�a potential major move for both teams.
