Now that training camps have officially begun, the case involving forward Trevor Zegras is making a lot of waves throughout the NHL. Indeed, the star forward is still without a contract for the upcoming season, and the Ducks' general manager, Pat Verbeek, does not seem willing to give in to his player's salary demands.

In this regard, the website The Hockey Writers suggested that the Canadiens' general manager, Kent Hughes, is closely monitoring this situation. Trevor Zegras would certainly be an intriguing option to bolster Martin St-Louis's top-6 if Anaheim ever wanted to trade him.

While many Montreal fans would love to see him land in Montreal before the start of the season, the chances of such a trade happening are rather slim. Moreover, during his appearance on the "JiC" show, Renaud Lavoie revealed significant information about the Ducks' number 11.

According to his information, the Buffalo Sabres are watching this case very closely. With over $8.7 million available under the salary cap, could General Manager Kevyn Adams potentially make a hostile offer to the 22-year-old forward?

«I heard that there is a team looking in that direction, and it's the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres have to make the playoffs this year, and you solve your problem by bringing in Zegras» - Renaud Lavoie

There is no doubt that Trevor Zegras's arrival in Buffalo would immediately enable the team to compete for a playoff spot. However, knowing that offer sheets are generally frowned upon by NHL general managers, it's hard to know if Kevyn Adams will want to pursue this matter.

Selected 9th overall in the 2019 draft, Trevor Zegras reached the 60-point mark in his last two seasons with the Ducks. Since his debut in the NHL, the centerman has amassed an impressive total of 49 goals and 90 assists (139 points) in 180 games.
