Major statement from Renaud Lavoie on Trevor Zegras and the Montreal Canadiens' treatment of star players
As you know, the Montreal Canadiens are currently in California, notably to face Trevor Zegras and the Ducks.
Let's talk a bit about Zegras, a very interesting case.
By the way, let's note that the two best friends, Cole Caufield and Zegras, took the opportunity yesterday to spend some good time together in the sun.
Let's return to the case of the young Anaheim forward.
Let's remember that his relationship with the Ducks has really soured, after discouraging contract negotiations, very tough and not very rewarding for him.
While he is on his way to becoming one of the best young players in the NHL, Zegras was practically told by the Ducks that they didn't care that much about him. At least, that's what seemed to be apparent, publicly.
And all this seems to have left its mark.
It reminds us of the last moments of Pierre-Luc Dubois with the Columbus Blue Jackets, but nothing is going right for Zegras in Anaheim at the moment.
He's not producing as expected, and his role is diminishing rapidly.
Renaud Lavoie talked about it this morning on BPM Sports, and he seems to know more than us.
That indeed says a lot.
It seems more and more realistic to imagine Zegras being traded eventually.
Renaud even adds that the Ducks disrespected Zegras during the last contract negotiations. Wow.
Let's remember that Zegras almost missed the entire training camp, and that has a direct impact on his difficult start to the season.
It mostly seems like the Ducks see Mason McTavish and Leo Carlsson as their future and their pillars, not Zegras.
A file to follow in any case.
Imagine Kent Hughes bringing together Caufield and Zegras! Can we dream a little?
