I don’t know when the rumours of Trevor Zegras in Montreal will die down, but right now, it’s one of the most talked-about rumours in Montreal.
At Pat Verbeek’s (Ducks GM) end-of-season press conference, he announced his needs. And Montreal doesn’t have anything he wants.
And unfortunately, Montreal doesn’t have that. And don’t tell me we have David Savard, because the Quebecer is under contract for another season and in a championship club, he’s not a top-4 defenseman.
As for a top-6 right-handed forward, we don’t have that either. There’s Josh Anderson… but let’s just say he’s not the kind of player the Ducks are going to target, especially against a guy like Zegras, who hasn’t gone to the bank yet. Of course, Nick Suzuki, Kirby Dach and Cole Caufield are all right-handers, but they’re obviously not worth trading.
The only ones I could see heading to Anaheim are Justin Barron, whose place in the metropolis isn’t set in stone, and Logan Mailloux. Are they top-4 defensemen in Verbeek’s eyes, though?
Will the two clubs be dancing this summer? The Montreal GM isn’t afraid of big transactions in the off-season. Let’s see if he can find common ground with his counterpart. Both teams (under reconstruction) are hungry for talent.
