Insider Frank Seravalli dropped a bombshell regarding Ducks rising star forward Trevor Zegras and his future in Anaheim.
Seravalli believes that the Anaheim Ducks might make a significant move this summer, possibly parting ways with Trevor Zegras. On the DFO Rundown podcast, Frank Seravalli discussed Zegras' future with the Ducks, mentioning several issues that have caused tension for him in Anaheim.
"There's been a lot of pain points for Trevor Zegras so far on his end. He was injured last year, he was ground down on the RFA negotiations, his best friend was traded. He was pressured to, was one of the players that was pressured to work out in Florida under team control, which ultimately earned the Ducks a $50,000 fine." Seravalli said.
He added, "Then on the other end, we've heard you mention, not glowing, like Pat Verbeek, I don't think he's gonna say it publicly, I think internally, the talk has been that they have real reservations as to whether or not he can add additional dimensions to his game. Is he a talented, creative, offensive force? Yes. Are there other things that he needs to add to his game? Yes. And when you have, you know, a bunch of young, burgeoning prospects, the need to try and force square peg into round hole, if that's how you view him, isn't really there."

Zegras has frequently been mentioned in trade rumors, especially before this season's deadline. Although he stayed with the Ducks, General Manager Pat Verbeek might explore trade options again around the draft and this summer to improve the team.
