I think we can clearly confirm that Kent Hughes is trying to finalize this trade with the Anaheim Ducks.
Frank Seravalli confirmed that he is trying, Pierre LeBrun confirmed that he is trying, and now David Pagnotta has just confirmed, via his most recent article, that the Canadiens have shown a clear interest in acquiring Zegras.
An interesting announcement for the Canadiens, notably involving Zegras.
Here is an excerpt from his article:
In any case, the Ducks are still listening to potential trades involving Zegras and Gibson.
We imagine that Kent Hughes will continue to talk on the phone with Pat Verbeek, as he wants to acquire a young top-6 forward this summer, ideally before the draft.
Trevor Zegras, 23 years old, 6 feet tall, and 185 pounds, has accumulated 154 points in 211 career NHL games.
John Gibson, 30 years old, 6 feet 2 inches, and 210 pounds, has a career record of 193 wins and 206 losses in the NHL, with a goals-against average of 2.90 and a save percentage of 0.910.
Last season, he had a record of 13-27-2, a goals-against average of 3.54, and a save percentage of 0.888.
Two stories to follow in Anaheim, one of which will obviously particularly interest Montreal Canadiens fans.
