Major twist in the situation expected regarding star forward Trevor Zegras?
Earlier this week, Anaheim Ducks' General Manager Pat Verbeek resolved a crucial item on his priority list by granting a seven-year contract worth $49 million to forward Troy Terry.
There is no doubt that this is excellent news for the Californian team as the 25-year-old forward has quickly become a crucial element in Greg Cronin's lineup. Terry has reached the 60-point mark in each of the last two seasons, impressively scoring a total of 37 goals in the 2021-2022 season.
However, Verbeek will have his hands full in the coming weeks, as star forward Trevor Zegras, who is currently a restricted free agent, remains without a contract for the upcoming season.
Furthermore, according to circulating information, the Ducks' forward has very high salary demands. Additionally, he indicated that he will not return to the team until he signs his new contract, mentioning that he might miss training camp if negotiations take longer than expected.
Wow! A controversial statement that clearly does not sit well across the NHL, especially among Ducks' fans. Imagine if training camp were to begin and the young forward refused to attend due to his contractual situation.
One thing is certain, this is a matter Pat Verbeek will have to address in the coming weeks, as his team simply cannot afford to start the season without their star forward.
In your opinion, how much will Trevor Zegras earn annually in his next contract?
At 22 years old, Trevor Zegras was selected 9th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft. He is undoubtedly one of the most electrifying players in the NHL, recording a total of 23 goals and 42 assists (65 points) in 81 games last year.
