Some experts even suggested that the Anaheim Ducks forward was part of some discussions between Kent Hughes and his counterpart from the California organization, Pat Verbeek.
But now the machine has started up again thanks to a former Canadiens player who used his platform to suggest a trade for the 23-year-old American forward.
As reported by the site Habsolumentfan.com, Georges Laraque said on BPM Sports that he would jump at the chance to acquire Trevor Zegras.
Right now, when I see Armia/Newhook in the Top-6, I see two players who are not in the right chair. That's not normal. You're missing two Top-6 players right now. You're going to get one and then Laine will come back in a month.
Zegras right now is on a young team where he was the headliner. If he comes to Montreal, he won't be the headliner and you'd take a lot of pressure off him. He could just focus on playing hockey instead of being the go-to guy.
Furthermore, the informant David Ettedgui had recently mentioned that his value is not very high at the moment and that it would be a great opportunity to reunite Zegras with his good friend Cole Caufield.
While the latter has filled the net in abundance since the beginning of the season, it is much more difficult for the Ducks' first choice in 2019 who has only collected two points in nine games so far.
Maybe a change of scenery would be beneficial for him and the Canadiens fans would be very happy to see Trevor Zegras put on the tricolor uniform.
