It's confirmed for Trevor Zegras and the Canadiens, and it's big

It's understood that Kent Hughes won't make a deal for both players, so it's one or the other, or neither, joining the Canadiens this summer.

Even though Necas has been linked to the Canadiens for a while, it seems Zegras has once again become the favorite in the rumors. This week, we learned that a trade is desired by both him and the Ducks. There's a lot of activity in this matter.

Pierre LeBrun, usually very cautious with his statements, has just added fuel to the fire.

This is a very significant statement and confirms that Kent Hughes is doing everything possible to bring an established young forward into his organization.

We also know for certain that the GM contacted the Hurricanes about Martin Necas, so he's casting lines in various directions, hoping that someone bites.

Zegras had a tough season with all the twists and injuries, but he remains an excellent hockey player, and a change of scenery could do him a lot of good.

Additionally, he loves the spotlight and is best friends with Cole Caufield. In short, he's made to play in Montreal. Let's hope Kent Hughes can manage to acquire him.
