Trevor Zegras has been associated with Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens for a while now, but concrete details are starting to emerge.
Getting Zegras won't be easy, as the Anaheim Ducks won't readily part with him. He's a young talented NHL player, with two seasons of over 60 points to his name.
According to journalist Arpon Basu, the Ducks would ask for Kaiden Guhle or David Reinbacher in exchange for Zegras.
This basic demand raises questions about Hughes' willingness to pay the price for Zegras. An ideal offer might involve Jayden Struble and a first-round pick along with a prospect like Owen Beck, as my colleague from HabsEtLNH, William Nadeau pointed out.
Zegras, at 23, has amassed 154 points in 211 games, while Reinbacher, 19, has tallied 5 points in 11 games with the Laval Rocket, and Guhle, 22, has accumulated 40 points in 114 games.
