3 potential trade candidates for the Vegas Golden Knights

Trevor Zegras, C, Anaheim Ducks

If you want an EXTREMELY spicy take, look no further than the Vegas Golden Knights acquiring Trevor Zegras. The former ninth-overall pick has dealt with numerous injuries, hampering his young NHL career. It's unfortunate because he was set to be the face of the Ducks franchise, with exciting skills and playmaking abilities being a part of his game.

Still, that should be a part of why the Golden Knights should acquire him. He can score at will or act as a distributor, making him a constant threat. Imagine him setting up Jack Eichel for a top-shelf goal in the third period. Here comes Zegras on a two-on-one! He passes to Eichel. Shoots! Scores! Vegas takes the lead!

Of course, there are other benefits to acquiring the former 2019 first-round pick, including his age (23 years old). However, he must be better away from the puck and can't be just a pure offensive talent. After all, Vegas is trying to retain such a beloved player's services for next season (and beyond). But if that doesn't work out, they can simply turn to Trevor Zegras for a much younger alternative. This trade won't be as likely to happen. But, hey, one can dream, right?
