Anaheim Ducks harshly demote Trevor Zegras

Coming into this season, Trevor Zegras was one of the Anaheim Ducks top stars, but that not may be the case anymore.

It's no secret that Trevor Zegras isn't the type of player that Ducks GM Pat Verbeek covets, with rumours earlier this season emerging that their young star was even on the trade block. Now, the Ducks have added fuel to that fire with an interesting demotion for the 23-year old with the season winding down.





This demotion to the third line comes on the back of players like Troy Terry and Mason MacTavish stepping up and performing, while Zegras has just 7 points in 20 games this year. It may just be a way to get him rolling, but given all the talk we've heard around him this season, it's tough to see this as anything but a former breakout star falling out of favour with the organization.

Now, the team have Leo Carlsson, another top pick in the upcoming 2024 NHL Draft as well as Cutter Gauthier in the organization, and if Zegras remains in the bottom-six for the rest of the season, it means he may be available this summer.
