Trevor Zegras could use a change of scenery but options may be limited

Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News: Anaheim Ducks GM Pat Verbeek said at the trade deadline last year that no team called him regarding Trevor Zegras. Zegras struggled last season when healthy and it has carried into this year.

There were offseason trade rumors and it looks like Zegras could definitely use a change of scenery.

Some people were trying to link the Montreal Canadiens to Zegras, but GM Kent Hughes is reportedly in the market for a physical forward.

James Murphy of RG.org, had a source say that the Boston Bruins had talked to the Ducks. Were they asking about former Boston University forward?
