In recent times, the Anaheim Ducks have confused fans and analysts alike, as it appears they're not interested in extending one of the brightest young stars the organization has had in quite some time.
Despite dazzling fans and bringing a positive light to the Ducks franchise, the front office has been very disrespectful in their offers to the young Zegras, and now, we may know why.
According to NHL Insider Andy Strickland, Zegras isn't the type of player that Pat Verbeek, the General Manager of the team likes, and reportedly, he isn't even considered a part of their future plans.
To anyone paying attention, this may not come as the biggest surprise, but after putting up career highs across the boards with nightly highlights for a young, up-and-coming team, this makes absolutely no sense.
With Mason MacTavish, Troy Terry, and Leo Carlsson all to be big parts of the future, one would expect Zegras to be just as important to the team, but now, we keep an eye on this story as it develops, as a trade could certainly take place before or even during the 2023-24 season.
