It's all well and good to want Zegras, I would also like to have him in Montreal, but the Anaheim Ducks are not going to simply give him away. Obviously.
We are talking about a young NHL star player here, who is extremely talented and already has two seasons with over 60 points to his name.
According to journalist Arpon Basu, on BPM Sports yesterday, the Anaheim Ducks are indeed asking for Kaiden Guhle or David Reinbacher as the basis of a transaction in exchange for Trevor Zegras.
Ouch. We better understand why some journalists mentioned last night that Kent Hughes may not be ready to pay the price to acquire Zegras.
Ideally, the Canadiens' general manager would be able to build an interesting offer involving, for example, Jayden Struble + a late first-round pick and a prospect like Owen Beck, but it remains to be seen if that would interest Pat Verbeek.
It all depends on his opinion of the Canadiens' prospects.
Trevor Zegras, 23 years old, 6 feet tall, and 185 pounds, has accumulated 154 points in 211 career NHL games. He is a 9th overall pick.
David Reinbacher, 19 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall, and 210 pounds, has accumulated 5 points in 11 games with the Laval Rocket. He is a 5th overall pick.
Kaiden Guhle, 22 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall, and 200 pounds, has accumulated 40 points in 114 career NHL games. He is a 16th overall pick.
I would not trade Guhle or Reinbacher for Zegras, even though I really like the young American forward's talent. What about you?
