Trade between the Canadiens and the Ducks involving Carey Price and Zegras?
Trevor Zegras has been linked to the Canadiens for over a year now, but the Ducks find themselves in a very difficult situation if they hope to trade him.
Indeed, they still haven't reached the salary floor, so getting rid of Zegras would be counterproductive. If Kent Hughes wants to acquire him, he would need to take on salary from the Ducks, but no players fit the bill.
However, there's Carey PriceCarey Price him would greatly help Kent Hughes, and it could also benefit the Ducks.
According to Trege Wilson, Anaheim would be at the top of the list if Kent Hughes decided to trade Price. Wilson also mentions that the Sharks, Flames, and Red Wings are also potential suitors.
Of course, there's no specific proposal involving Zegras and Price, nor any rumors. The article from The Hockey Writers only discusses the possibility of Anaheim potentially taking on Price's contract, but including him in a deal for Zegras would make sense.
Kent Hughes could then offer young players or draft picks without having to include someone like Josh Anderson or Brendan Gallagher, who likely wouldn't fit the Ducks' needs.
