Trevor Zegras fever is definitely in the air in Montreal, we already knew that, but it's getting serious as it starts to make more and more noise elsewhere.

It's reached the point where journalists from TSN, Sportsnet, and even Anaheim are discussing the real possibility of Zegras being traded to the Canadiens.

Let's also remember that the esteemed Pierre LeBrun confirmed the day before yesterday that Kent Hughes has officially called the Ducks' GM to start talks for a transaction involving Trevor Zegras.

And I can tell you that, among the 4-5 teams that have called the Ducks for a trade involving Trevor Zegras, there are the Montreal Canadiens." - Pierre LeBrun

This is serious.

In short, despite all this, the concrete offers that we can analyze are rather rare, so here's one.

Marc-Olivier Beaudoin has proposed a concrete offer that could be very interesting for both teams.

Knowing that the CH is on track to draft between the 7th and 9th overall pick, here is his proposition.

Would you trade the CH's first-round pick for Trevor Zegras?

Considering that the lottery is behind us and that the pick is in the "range" 7 to 9." - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin

Fans seem really divided on the question.

Nearly 45% of fans would make this trade, but it's almost a fifty-fifty split.

And you, would you do it?

Personally, what we would do and what Kent Hughes will do (in our opinion), is to wait until the moment of selection.

If a player that the CH loves has slipped to the 7-8-9th pick, like a Cole Eiserman or a Cayden Lindstrom, we wouldn't make the trade.

However, if the top 5-6 players and Cole Eiserman are all already drafted, we would make the trade.
