Trevor Zegras, once a hot commodity on the trade market, finds himself back in the rumor mill after a slow start to the season. With only 3 points in 14 games, questions are swirling around the 23-year-old’s future in Anaheim.

Last season, contract negotiations and injuries limited Zegras’ offensive production. Trade rumors persisted even after GM Pat Verbeek denied any calls about him. Now, with Zegras’ struggles continuing, speculation is mounting that a change of scenery might be necessary for him to rediscover his top-six forward potential.

While some believe Zegras’ overall effort is encouraging, others suggest a fresh start could be the answer. Montreal and Boston are mentioned as potential destinations, but current reports indicate trade discussions are not a top priority for most NHL teams. However, Zegras’ situation remains intriguing, and the possibility of a trade could pick up steam if his performance doesn’t improve.
