The transaction market vibrates to the rhythm of rumors surrounding Trevor Zegras and the Montreal Canadiens.
Discussions rage and rumors fly as Pat Verbeek, general manager of the Anaheim Ducks, finds himself at the heart of the action.
Candidly during his year-end GM admitted he wants to strengthen his blue line, Verbeek openly admitted he was looking for a top defenseman, specifically a right-hander capable of filling a “TOP 4” role on the blue line .
Among the names circulating, the name of Trevor Zegras is still mentioned as a potential bargaining chip to acquire this precious defenseman.
There is a lot of speculation, and everyone is wondering if Zegras can be sacrificed to strengthen the team’s defense on the right.
This is where the names Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher come into play. Mailloux, with his promising potential, is a young right-handed defender who is attracting interest from many teams.
His ability to develop into a role as a top defenseman makes him a tempting option for the Ducks, especially since he’s an offensive stud who has learned to play defensively this year.
As for Reinbacher, he is considered untouchable according to what is circulating in Montreal. We still see him as Lane Hutson’s future partner, while we love his calm and humble demeanor on CH.
Let’s say that the bachelor Mailloux is more “flyy” in personality compared to Reinbacher, a shy young man who has an orderly life with his girlfriend and his father to whom he is very close.
But then, is Mailloux really on the negotiating table? This is where the speculation reaches a new level.
Some feel Verbeek may be willing to sacrifice Zegras to shore up the team’s blue line, while others believe Mailloux won’t be enough to convince the Ducks.
It is clear that Hughes will have to add a lot to the balance with Mailloux to convince Anaheim to sacrifice Zegras.
Pat Verbeek and the Ducks are ready to do whatever it takes to build a winning team, and that means a TOP 4 right-handed defenseman.
With names like Mailloux and Reinbacher in play, the Montreal Canadiens are clearly in line to negotiate with Anaheim.
