Insider believes Ducks GM Pat Verbeek not a 'believer' in $17.25M star (image credit: IMAGN)
Trevor Zegras' name has been part of trade talks this year with the Anaheim Ducks. Zegras and the Ducks have not gotten off to the start they envisioned and it could lead to the end of their time together. The $17.25 million star could land on another team soon if things don't change.
Part of this depends on Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek. Zegras is just 23 years old, so he has more years in front of him than behind. It comes down to whether or not the team believes he can be something good, but one hockey insider is not sure if they do.
Frank Seravelli of Daily Faceoff said that this is already beginning to feel like a long year for Zegras.
"He’s collected just a handful of points so far, though he’s shown a bit of life with five points in his past five games," Seravelli wrote. "It’s a far cry from the 65-point player we saw in 2022-23 who was oozing passion for the game and was one of the brightest young stars, on the cover of a video game.
