It's a possibility that immediately crossed our minds yesterday when the Anaheim Ducks announced the acquisition of future star forward Cutter Gauthier.

Is Trevor Zegras available for a trade?

This is a topic that was discussed in the last few minutes on the "The Ray and Dregs Hockey Podcast"! It's major.

«Several teams have told me, have suggested that Trevor Zegras might be available. (on the trading market)

And it makes sense, knowing Pat Verbeek (the GM of the Ducks).»

- Darren Dreger

Wow! Go Kent Hughes!

We all know about Montreal's interest in Trevor Zegras, and we all know that he is the best friend of Cole Caufield.

For a few months now, it feels like the Ducks are not so keen on keeping Zegras at any cost, but this is becoming more and more confirmed.

Anyway, with Troy Terry, Mason McTavish, Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson, and company, there's going to be a big logjam in the top-6 forwards over there, and tough decisions will have to be made.

So, the question is: what would you give up to acquire Trevor Zegras?

Also the fact that the Ducks traded his best buddy won't help:

Trevor Zegras will have to find someone else to cross streams with after close companion Jamie Drysdale was traded to Philly
Zegras continued: "We even got injured together too. It was good to push each other.
Getting on the ice with the injuries that we had were tough. To know that somebody was going through similar stuff that you were definitely made it a little bit easier. Getting your conditioning and that stuff back kind of sucks so it's nice to look over and see somebody grinding on the bike next to you, so that definitely helps."
