The most reputable source on the matter (Lebrun) says that the Ducks haven't offered him to anyone and aren't doing more than listening. I really don't see a deal coming together at a point where Zegras isn't even healthy enough to play. It's not worth getting hung up on at a time where so many other deals are a possible reality right now. Really don't see Zegras moving anytime soon unless for the off chance that something comes together for another young potential elite player like the Drysdale/Gauthier deal, and how often do we see trades like that?
The Habs having extra late 1sts and prospects isn't giving them a leg up on anyone, Anaheim has less than zero reason to move Zegras for a package of lesser assets. He's not going anywhere unless a young potential elite player is put on the table that Verbeek happens to like more, that's really the sole reason for bothering to take calls on him.
That useless fat Seravelli started this whole thing with baseless speculation, he has no sources in Anaheim. This is the dude that fully declared Gibson had played his last game as a Duck, he's pulling this stuff out of his ass. He saw that the Ducks had moved Zegras little buddy Drysdale, and knows his name will generate buzz and clicks. Likely nothing more than that to go on.
Zegras has a ton of value to Anaheim even besides his on ice talent. He's their most marketable young star in many years, for a team that struggles to maintain a share of its bloated sports market. They need him a lot more than they need a package of picks and prospects.
