Trade Talks Heating Up About This Duck
Back in January, the Anaheim Ducks traded young defenseman Jamie Drysdale to the Flyers for top prospect Cutter Gauthier. Well, they may not be finished, now we're just a month away from the trade deadline and it appears things could heat up again.
It seems like the Ducks could be set on fully revamping their prospect pool, as they're trading their young guns for fresh, younger players. Michael Gallagher reported that the Nashville Predators may be interested in Trevor Zegras at the deadline. That adds to the list of the Rangers, Flyers, Canadiens who have all shown various levels of interest.
Zegras, 22, was the 9th pick in the 2019 draft. His ability to move with the puck and his hands are incredible. Zegras has four goals and three assists, tallying up to seven points in an unlucky injury riddled 20-game season so far. However, Trevor has shown before that he can put up good numbers, as he had 23 goals and 65 points in 81 games last season.
Whoever gets him if he's traded will have to give up a high price, as he is a young rising star, but appears to come with some behind the scene baggage.
