Thread: Zegras Cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shanesaw9</b></div><div>“<strong>The Ducks have listened on Trevor Zegras</strong>, my understanding is they haven’t phoned a single team and brought up his name. This is other teams, because it’s been out there, picking up the phone and saying what’s going on here, <strong>and the Ducks haven’t hung up, they haven’t said how dare you.</strong> But that’s a big difference between making it a priority to move him, you know what I mean. And I will tell you of the 4 or 5 teams that I’m told have phoned the Ducks, that the Montreal Canadiens are one of them. So that is true and why wouldn’t they. But having said that, I don’t get the sense right now that the Ducks are committed to moving him or they really want to move him. I think this is more that somehow his name came up and teams started calling"

The quote you just used also says the Ducks are listening lol. You're only reading what you want to see. A GM is never gonna say "yes it is our goal to trade our 22 year old former top 10 pick". MTL said they weren't trading Subban either, until they did.

Here's a simple observation, Anaheim is among league leaders in cap space, yet they entered the season with a contract dispute over Zegras and didn't sign him to a long term deal (which would have had beneficial cap savings down the road when the team is actually competitive). They are obviously not married to Trevor Zegras.</div></div>

Sure ignore the actual line saying they don’t want to move him, doesn’t affect me at all if you don’t have reading comprehension skills.

Every team will obviously listen on every player outside maybe a very select few, it would be poor asset management not to.
