NHL Rumors: Analyst 'intrigued' by $17,250,000 Trevor Zegras' trade value for Anaheim Ducks

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras has been frequently mentioned in trade rumors, suggesting that the Ducks are willing to consider offers for him. According to reports, the Ducks are open to trading Zegras for the right price.

On NHL Tonight, former NHLer and analyst Ken Daneyko spoke about Trevor Zegras and his future with the Ducks or his potential availability to trade (0:22):

“Well look, he had two years of 60-plus points in the National Hockey League. That’s not easy to do. So we know he’s highly skilled. The things he can do with the puck a lot of players can’t do. A very talented young man, no question about it.

Daneyko called Zegras a talented young player but wondered whether he would be in the Ducks' future plans. He found it intriguing to think that, with his skills and talent, Zegras could have been an asset to other teams (1:04).

"So is he going to be part of that moving forward? That’s the interesting question and what intrigues me as well, because you got a lot of parts there, and he would be an interesting piece for a lot of other teams as well with his skill and talents and teams that maybe need a player like Trevor Zegras," he said.

Daneyko added to the situation, saying that as of now, everything being said about Trevor Zegras remains a rumor.

"But all rumors right now, and I think for him, his main focus just has to be, ‘I’m going to training camp, I’m not deal right now. I’m going to get back to being a consistent team player, two-way guy that’s going to work his tail off," Daneyko continued.

While acknowledging the existence of trade rumors, the analyst hinted that the Ducks might be considering dealing with Zegras (2:23).

"But we’ve heard the rumors too, right? I mean, we hear grumblings and they’re not always true, but usually, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, Anaheim may be looking to make a deal with Trevor’s Zegras. We will see and if not, I wish him the best. He seems like a great, a great kid and we know the talent he has," he added.

Zegras has two years remaining in the three-year, $17.25 million deal signed with the Ducks. He will become a restricted free agent at the end of the 2025-26 season.


Ken Daneyko links Trevor Zegras to two Metro rivals

Daneyko floated some potential destinations for Zegras in the event the Ducks decide to trade him, including Metro Division rivals, the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals.

“Oh, he lives, he comes from this area. I mean, maybe the New York Rangers, possibly, is there a fit there?
"And how about the Washington Capitals? They added kind of everybody in the last handful of years and guys that they want to get to another level or show that consistency," he said.

Trevor Zegras has been with the club after being drafted No. 9 overall by the Ducks in the 2019 draft. In 211 games, he has accumulated 154 points through 55 goals and 99 assists.
