Red Wings & Ducks Should Discuss Zegras Deal
January 14, 2024 by Devin Little
The Anaheim Ducks have sent shockwaves across the NHL over the last week. It started on Jan. 8 when they acquired prospect Cutter Gauthier from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a 2024 second round pick and defenseman Jamie Drysdale. As the dust began to settle following that shocking transaction, different outlets began reporting that Trevor Zegras, the ninth pick of the 2019 draft and runner-up to Moritz Seider for the Calder Trophy in 2022, has been made available by Ducks general manager (GM) Pat Verbeek. Assuming that is true, a number of teams – including the Detroit Red Wings – should have interest. Although the cost to acquire the young forward would be pretty high, Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman should definitely call his former assistant GM to see if there’s a way their two teams can come together on a deal.

You’ve heard the expression “putting lipstick on a pig”, right? If you have, then consider Detroit Red Wings’ goaltender Alex Lyon as the pocket-sized cosmetic product, while the defense in front of him can be described as the swine part of that phrase. Detroit’s blue line play has been downright ugly this season, but Lyon’s play of late has helped keep the Red Wings afloat in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.
