Trevor Zegras has been actively pursued by the Anaheim Ducks over the past year, with the Montreal Canadiens expressing interest.
During the NHL draft, reports indicated that the Canadiens and Ducks were close to finalizing a trade, but the Ducks were seeking one last component that Montreal was unwilling to part with. The Ducks were interested in acquiring a young player, and the Canadiens have an abundance of them. This situation has left some fans curious about the status of the trade discussions.
As the season begins, Zegras is starting with the Ducks, a team that likely won’t compete for much this year, similar to the Canadiens, who were aware of their situation from the outset. The Canadiens are taking risks this season with their young players and aim to demonstrate that their emerging core is one to watch for the future.
