In June, during the Entry Draft in Las Vegas, the Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens reportedly had a trade in place involving Trevor Zegras.

Montreal, one of several teams linked to Zegras, has been searching for offensive help. According to recent reports, the two teams nearly finalized a deal at the end of June. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Canadiens and Ducks had agreed on a trade that would have sent Zegras and a second-round pick to Montreal. In return, Anaheim would have received defenseman Logan Mailloux and a first-round pick.

However, the deal fell through when the Canadiens' target, Michael Hage, was still available at their second pick of the first round.

"According to Marco Normandin, the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks had a trade lined up that would have sent Zegras and a 2nd round draft pick to Montreal for a package including the 1st round pick they eventually used to select Michael Hage. Apparently, the trade was denied in the final moments leading to the pick, as it's fair to assume Montreal was counting on Hage being available, which may have been the deciding factor in the deal." Keiran Bray of Hockey Talk Daily said.

Zegras, 23, was limited to just 31 games during the 2023-24 season due to injuries, recording 15 points (six goals, nine assists), 30 penalty minutes, and a minus-one rating. The Bedford, New York native remains with the Anaheim Ducks, but it will be interesting to see if any teams around the NHL increase their trade offers before training camps open in mid-September.
