This perspective is not just from journalists covering the Canadiens but comes from all corners of the league. With Mason McTavish and Leo Carlsson likely to be used as the top two centers, what is Zegras' role?
According to Shayna Goldman, a journalist from The Athletic, a trade to Montreal makes the most sense.
While he has been injured since the 2nd game of the season, it's essential not to forget Kirby Dach in the mix. He is still young, and the Canadiens are far from giving up on him.
If Zegras indeed arrives in Montreal, the strategy will need a significant rethink, particularly regarding which of the two will play at center. Personally, if he's healthy, I'd like to see the current number 76 at center.
