Overview
- Anaheim sent 24-year-old forward Trevor Zegras to Philadelphia in exchange for center Ryan Poehling, the 45th overall pick in the 2025 draft and a 2026 fourth-round selection.
- The transaction frees up $3.85 million in salary cap room for the Ducks as they seek reinforcements in free agency.
- Zegras is entering the final season of a three-year, $17.25 million contract carrying a $5.75 million cap hit and will be a restricted free agent next summer.
- Persistent knee, ankle and groin injuries limited Zegras to just 47 points in 88 games over the past two campaigns.
- Flyers GM Danny Brière called the move “one piece of the puzzle” and indicated more roster adjustments are on the way.
