Overview

• The Ducks sent 24-year-old forward Trevor Zegras to the Flyers in exchange for 26-year-old center Ryan Poehling, the No. 45 overall pick in the 2025 draft and a 2026 fourth-round selection.
• Zegras is entering the final season of a three-year, $17.25 million contract with a $5.75 million cap hit before becoming a restricted free agent next summer.
• Injuries to his knee, ankle and groin limited Zegras to 88 games and 47 points over the past two seasons after back-to-back 60-point campaigns earlier in his career.
• Anaheim clears $3.85 million in salary cap space with the trade, giving general manager Pat Verbeek more flexibility for free-agent acquisitions.
• Flyers general manager Danny Brière described Zegras as one piece of Philadelphia’s offseason puzzle as the team looks to bolster its center rotation alongside Sean Couturier and Noah Cates.
