Anaheim Ducks GM Pat Verbeek may be lower on Trevor Zegras than others and insider Frank Seravalli believes this could lead to a trade involving the skilled forward.
Last season was one of the hardest for Trevor Zegras as he struggled to stay healthy playing in only 31 games and then performing poorly when he played scoring only six goals and 15 points in those games. These numbers are a massive step back from his 2022-23 season where he scored 65 points in 81 games being among the Ducks' top players.
NHL insider Frank Seravalli has shared a concerning update for Zegras revealing his relationship with the Ducks seems to have soured.
"There's been a lot of pain points for Trevor Zegras so far on his end. He was injured last year, he was ground down on the RFA negotiations, his best friend was traded, he was one of the players pressured to work out in Florida under team control which ultimately earned the Ducks a $50,000 fine." - Frank Seravalli
Seravalli went on to add that Ducks GM Pat Verbeek may be a bit more bearish on Zegras than others.
"We've heard Pat Verbeek I think has real, he's not going to say it publicly, I think internally the talk has been that they have real reservations as to whether or not he can add additional dimensions to his game." - Frank Seravalli
With the offseason ramping up, Zegras will certainly be a name to look out for in trade rumors as he may get moved out by Anaheim for a package that fits the Ducks' playing style better.
