Trevor Zegras reveals where he wants to go if traded
Trevor Zegras, the dynamic forward for the Anaheim Ducks, who probably will be traded, has expressed a desire to leave before the 2024�25 season.
According to a report by Peter Baugh on The Athletic, Zegras has long considered the New York Rangers his ideal destination. The Rangers, known for their competitive roster and storied history, could offer the young star a fresh start.
In addition to the Rangers, the Philadelphia Flyers have shown some interest in acquiring Zegras. However, the asking price set by Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek is reportedly high, which could complicate any potential trade. Zegras' interest in moving to a new team and the substantial return Verbeek seeks to make this situation one to watch as the offseason progresses.
Zegras, seeking a move from Anaheim, has drawn interest from the New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, Nashville Predators, and Chicago Blackhawks, among others. Limited to 31 games last season due to injuries, he still notched 15 points and made a notable "Michigan" goal. The 23-year-old Bedford, New York native, with a $5.75 million salary over the next two seasons, fits well with the Rangers' $12.8 million cap space. Trade discussions may intensify as the NHL Entry Draft and free agency approach, given Zegras' skill, potential, and the high return Anaheim seeks.
