The Anaheim Ducks have built a solid young core over the past few years, and after a contract extension for Troy Terry early in the summer, it appeared as though Trevor Zegras would be next.
A major low-ball
After becoming one of the fastest rising stars in the NHL, scoring incredible goals and getting major interest from the league's young audiences, things were lining up for a big-time extension with the NHL 23 cover athlete.
However, the Ducks appear to be the only party not interested in locking him in long-term, and their latest offer to the 22-year old star is a perfect example of why.
The Ducks are offering Trevor Zegras in the $3M to $4M AAV range.
- Renaud Lavoie.
A move coming?
According to renowned NHL Insider Renaud Lavoie, the Ducks latest offer to Zegras was an insulting one, offering him in the $3M to $4M per season range, despite giving Terry a contract with a $7M AAV.
Given the positive attention he's brought the organization while posting a career high in games (81), goals (23) and points (65) a year ago, and now, all signs are pointing towards a free agency or trade exit for the rising star.
