Ducks announced Trevor Zegras wil not return to the game.

Trade Whispers Surround Trevor Zegras: Forward's Future with Anaheim Ducks in Question

Rumors are circulating in the hockey world, hinting that Trevor Zegras, the Anaheim Ducks' forward who recently inked a substantial three-year, $17.25 million deal, might be the next player on the trading block following Jamie Drysdale's recent trade.

Insights from Darren Dreger on the "Daily Faceoff" suggest that Zegras' name is actively in play. "In speaking with teams around the league, they suggest that Zegras' name has been out there and in play," revealed Dreger. He further highlighted doubts about Zegras fitting into Ducks GM Pat Verbeek's ultimate vision for the team's playing style.

Despite Trevor Zegras' noteworthy achievements, including gracing the cover of NHL 23, questions linger about his alignment with the team's strategic direction. Dreger was quick to point out that while Zegras' name has surfaced in trade talks, there's currently nothing imminent on the horizon.

On the 'Ray & Dregs Podcast,' co-host Ray Ferraro added his perspective on the young forward: "Zegras isn't everybody's cup of Joe. He's creative, he's high risk... He might not be Anaheim's style, and, then, they'll move him along, and whoever gets Zegras is going to say, 'Yeah, we're really excited to get this creative player.'"

The Ducks, under Verbeek's strategic leadership, have cultivated a robust prospect base featuring emerging talents like Leo Carlsson, Gauthier, and Mason McTavish, complemented by established players like Troy Terry. This foundation provides the team with the flexibility to explore various possibilities amid the ongoing speculation surrounding Zegras' future with the Ducks.
