For some time now, it seems the Anaheim Ducks have been prepared to trade Trevor Zegras, and now we officially know his preferred trade destination.
Despite a promising start to his career in Anaheim, Trevor Zegras has fallen out of favor with GM Pat Verbeek. With many talented players coming through the organization, Zegras has become expendable. After acquiring Cutter Gauthier, many believed Zegras' time in Anaheim was coming to an end, and now it seems to be a formality.
Many teams have been linked to Zegras, but thanks to Peter Baugh of The Athletic, we now know his preferred destination has been the New York Rangers for quite some time.
"What we can say is that Zegras, who trains in the offseason at Prentiss Hockey Performance alongside
Chris Kreider, has had the Rangers as his ideal destination for a long time. Ducks GM Pat Verbeek has had some decent interest from at least one team � believed to be the Flyers � but is asking for a very expensive return for Zegras, who had an injury-plagued 2023-24 and finished with 15 points in 31 games." Baugh said.

It's unclear how interested the Rangers are in Zegras, but Baugh notes that the Philadelphia Flyers might be the team pushing hardest for him. With the draft just days away, a Trevor Zegras trade could be nearing, but with a high asking price, things are still uncertain. Most expect a blockbuster deal sometime this summer.
