Surprising Canadian Team Emerges To Pursue Trevor Zegras In Trade

According to a tweet by NHL Watcher, the Montreal Canadiens are in the mix to acquire Zegras, given their strong pool of picks and prospects.

Drafted 9th overall in 2019, the 22-year-old has emerged as a potential trade target despite Anaheim likely not envisioning such a scenario when they selected him.

Zegras has faced injury setbacks this season, managing four goals and three assists, totaling seven points. However, his previous performances, with 65 points in 81 games, showcase his potential.

Known for his exceptional stick-handling skills and effortless execution of moves like the Michigan, Zegras presents an enticing prospect for any team, albeit at a high cost.

If Montreal pursues him, they'll need to be prepared to pay a significant price. Nonetheless, Zegras's arrival would inject energy and personality into any team lucky enough to acquire him.
