How do you grade the Flyers’ trade for Trevor Zegras?

Flyers Land Trevor Zegras in Trade With Ducks

In a surprising NHL transaction, the Anaheim Ducks have traded former top-10 pick Trevor Zegras to the Philadelphia Flyers. In return, the Ducks received center Ryan Poehling, the No. 45 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, and a 2026 fourth-rounder. Zegras, 24, is a dynamic playmaker with 186 points in 268 NHL games but faced injury setbacks in the past season. The Flyers view him as a high-upside addition to their young forward core. Meanwhile, Anaheim gains future assets and center depth to continue their rebuilding efforts. Analysts are split on the value, with some praising Philly’s boldness and others questioning Zegras’ recent durability. This trade could reshape both franchises’ trajectories heading into the 2025–26 season.
