Trevor Zegras has been traded from the Anaheim Ducks to the Philadelphia Flyers for Ryan Poehling, the 2025 45th overall pick, and a 2026 fourth-round pick.
This comes shortly after Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Anaheim Ducks are in “significant discussions” with multiple teams on a Zegras trade, and the likelihood is growing that the talented he could be traded this week.
Zegras had been linked to the New York Rangers as a potential trade target in the past and it’s unclear if they were one of the multiple teams in significant discussions for Zegras.
Now, instead of landing the young forward, he’ll play in the Metropolitan Division with a Rangers rival for potentially years to come.
The 24-year-old forward would have fit the Rangers’ vision of getting younger and still competing, as the talent is there with Zegras, but it seemed he just needed a change of scenery.
It’s speculated that the Rangers will have a busy offseason in terms of making moves to shake up the roster.
“The Rangers are considering an awful lot of things,” Friedman said. “Like after the season they had last year, there are very few things that are off the table. Chris Drury has got a lot out there and he basically wants to know if you want to talk to them about something, just reach out because he’s gotta know everything that's on the table for him.”
With Zegras off the board, we’ll see who the next domino to fall is.
