Saw this on a rumor website: Zegras trade
According to them, a source close to the team said that a deal was in place where Montreal would trade Logan Mailloux and the 21oa pick in 2024 for Zegras and a 2nd round pick, but the trade was cancelled By Montreal (likely because their target, Hage, became available).
The source adds that there were rumors before the draft that Mailloux might get moved (which is true)
Kent Hughes is also quoted, saying they had a deal in place that fell through and that they didn’t want too many players from the same mold. We could deduct that Montreal feels Zegras and Demidov might be built from the same “mold”
One last thing that the article mentions is that the Habs called Anaheim midway through the first round saying they were backing out of the trade (is it the call they did right before selecting Hage?)
More so, Anaheim ended up moving up not long after to #23.
Wondering what HF thinks of this trade. From what I've heard, Mailloux has more value in NHL GM circles than among HFers.
Edit: added @Baksfamous112 comments to the OP, thanks!
