Seriously, the Ducks need to be winning games. Zegras helps them do it, and he is 24 and part of the core group's age.

He's signed long term to such a team friendly deal though, he's definitely one of the guys we should be building around

Don’t think the Ducks want a futures quantity trade for Zegras. Can’t rebuild forever.

Never anything indicating that the Ducks ever had any interest in moving him. Just stupid Seravelli speculating about him possibly being available after his buddy was traded and a bunch of clickbait crap followed.

Puck Off!
It’s very possible he could be available. Who knows with Verbeek and it’s difficult to know if Zegras has a future with them or not considering how they’ve used him the past couple of years. Many of us fans think he’s been stymied and isn’t being used to his strengths. But none of the rumors that have been out there have ever said that he’s being shopped or that Verbeek is looking to move him. It all started after his buddy Drysdale was traded and a writer decided it made sense that Zegras was next with nothing more than his own speculation. The only thing we’ve ever heard that sounds like it could be credible is that Verbeek has listened to offers and that his ask would be high for Zegras. Makes sense that a GM would listen to offers if it could make his club better. But then saying the cost would be high, sounds as though he’s really not available unless you’re looking to make an offer he can’t refuse.
Nobody really knows but most of us Ducks fans here on HF would rather he not be traded and hope that he becomes a really good player like he was on track to becoming after his first two seasons.
As for the offer. I’d love for the Ducks to get Wallstedt but not at the expense of Zegras. The Ducks need high offensive players and he’s one of the few that has the potential to become that.

I thought your coach has been pretty critical of him too. Pair that with all the other speculation that his effort level isn’t there, the other young centers on the roster, etc. Just seems like a kid that could use a new start. Wild fans saw that pay off with Fiala in the past. Kids got a lot of potential but people gotta wonder if he’ll ever realize that within ANA’s environment. I think there’s some good value in the offers in this thread if your management was ready to pivot.

There truly is an astounding amount of just flat out in incorrect info on Zegras out there, people love to hate him for some reason and latch on to any negative narrative with zero factual basis. On the contrary, this was a recent quote from the coach:
"The [young] guy I'm most impressed with is Zegras. He continues to battle. He continues to focus on the linear part of the game. His pace up and down the ice is going to allow him to be a forechecker and not just a perimeter player. He's going to the net front. He's working defensively and he's playing with pace."
