The Time Has Come for the Montreal Canadiens to Trade for Trevor Zegras, According to Ettedgui
Rumors linking Trevor Zegras to the Montreal Canadiens have been circulating on social media for quite some time.
They died down when Kent Hughes acquired Patrik Laine, but this Monday, David Ettedgui has brought the speculation back into the spotlight.
The Perfect Time to Acquire Trevor Zegras?
Indeed, the former player agent believes this is the perfect time for Kent Hughes to contact his counterpart, Pat Verbeek, to inquire about the price for his 23-year-old forward. With gaps in the offense and injuries (especially Laine's), Montreal may need some help.
In a Facebook post, Ettedgui further clarified his point. According to him, even though the Canadiens should prioritize a right-handed defenseman, they should also consider Zegras's situation. His value is at its lowest due to a challenging start to the season, and Montreal should take advantage of that.
If the Canadiens pass on Cole Caufield's friend, they should look towards the Nashville Predators.

As we mentioned recently, Zegras has been declining season after season. His average went from 67 points in his 2nd and 3rd years in the league to a meager average of 23 points last year.
Just imagine if Martin St-Louis managed to revive the young American. Sometimes, all it takes is a change of scenery to get a player back on track!
In any case, much like Patrik Laine, Zegras is a young player brimming with talent who just seems to need a fresh start with a dynamic young team.
