The Anaheim Ducks have been a team searching for a star and the face of the organization since their last Stanley Cup Finals appearance, and over the past few years, many believed they'd found that person in Trevor Zegras.
A blockbuster move incoming?
After the Ducks latest offer was revealed to be between the $3M and $4M per season mark, many believed it would lead to the departure of the 22-year old star, and now, his latest social media hints back up that suggestion.
Sometimes, athletes doing this on social media are fun ways to stir the pot, but given everything we've heard this summer about his future, this may signal the end of his time in Orange County.
Another twist in the tale?
Zegras had a career year with the Ducks in 2022-23, and with so much skill in a sport that's going to continue getting less physical, he will be a star and the potential face of the NHL for years to come, so letting him go could be a major mistake for the Ducks.
As TSN's Jesse Pollock wrote on social media, the comparable contracts around the league to the Ducks offer are Nick Foligno and Corey Perry, and if the Ducks can't find a way to give Zegras more than that, no one could blame him for asking for a trade before the season begins.
Ultimately, this is a story that's going to play out over the coming 12 months, and with so much drama expected, this could definitely derail Anaheim's season.
