Overview

  • On June 23, 2025 the Ducks traded forward Trevor Zegras to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for center Ryan Poehling, the No. 45 overall pick in the 2025 draft, plus a 2026 fourth-round pick.
  • Zegras enters the final year of his three-year, $17.25 million contract with a $5.75 million cap hit and will become a restricted free agent next summer.
  • The 24-year-old playmaker recorded just 47 points in 88 games over the past two seasons due to injuries and inconsistency after back-to-back 60-point campaigns.
  • Philadelphia plans to test Zegras on its top line under new coach Rick Tocchet, gaining flexibility to deploy him at center or wing.
  • Anaheim plans to use the incoming lower-cost Poehling, who posted a career-best 31 points last season, plus the acquired draft capital to fuel further offseason roster upgrades.
