Bruins Rival In Trade Talks With Young Star Player
Amidst a prolonged rebuilding phase, the Montreal Canadiens have been diligently replenishing their prospect pool with promising talent like Juraj Slafkovsky, Filip Mesar, and David Reinbacher.
However, despite their efforts, offensive struggles persist, with the top line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Slafkovsky carrying much of the scoring burden.
As the Canadiens search for an offensive spark, rumors swirl around the availability of Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras. The 22-year-old's contract negotiations and subsequent struggles this season have put him on the trade radar, prompting Montreal GM Kent Hughes to inquire about the New York native.
Insider Pierre LeBrun confirmed Montreal's interest, noting that despite the Ducks' reluctance, they are listening to offers. Zegras' potential to unlock his offensive prowess makes him an intriguing target, albeit at a hefty cost.
With Zegras' past connection to Caufield adding to the intrigue, Montreal's pursuit of offensive firepower intensifies.
