Exciting details have emerged from HABSolumentFan regarding a major trade involving Trevor Zegras and the Canadiens.

According to Marco Normandin, the talented forward was very close to joining the Canadiens during the last draft.

In the first round, Kent Hughes nearly finalized a deal with the Ducks. Anaheim was set to receive Logan Mailloux, along with additional assets.

It appears the Canadiens ultimately decided against completing the trade, which would have brought Trevor Zegras to Montreal to join his good friend Cole Caufield.

"According to an NHL source close to the situation, the Montreal Canadiens had a deal on the table to acquire star forward Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks a few weeks ago.

At the beginning of the first round of the NHL Draft held in Las Vegas in late June, the Canadiens and Ducks had agreed on the terms of a trade that would have sent Trevor Zegras to Montreal along with one of their second-round picks. In return, the Canadiens would have sent young defenseman Logan Mailloux and their later first-round pick (21st overall) in 2024.

However, I am told that it was the Canadiens who eventually decided not to complete the transaction and informed the Ducks during the first round." - via HABSolumentFan and Marco Normandin

Wow! This isn't the first time Trevor Zegras' name has been linked with the Canadiens. He has been associated with the team for some time now, and the rumors are more specific than ever.

The Canadiens have a strong defense prospect pool, with Mailloux appearing behind Lane Hutson and David Reinbacher on the depth chart.

Zegras would have been a valuable addition to the top-6 forwards under Martin St-Louis. However, this doesn't mean the end of the rumors or speculation...
