Vegas Golden Knights scouting report on a division rival with the Anaheim Ducks

Why fans should watch out for Trevor Zegras

Last season, Trevor Zegras played 31 games for the Anaheim Ducks. He missed a bulk of the year because of a broken ankle, leaving the Ducks short offensively. Therefore, he'll be a name to watch for numerous reasons, starting with how he does post-injury. Will he lose speed and agility when he returns? How will his two-way game be affected? His play will be under the microscope as trade rumors loom.

Speaking of which, the Vegas Golden Knights could be a trade partner for a potential deal if the circumsances are right. There will be some pratfalls with getting a deal done, such as taking on his $5.75 million cap hit. However, Zegras could serve as a cheaper alternative to Patrik Laine, especially if the Finnish winger goes off the trade board.

The former first-round pick for the Ducks will be a name to watch regardless of what happens. He has tremendous upside as an offensive player, showcasing incredible puck control and offensive instincts. However, he could wind up playing for Vegas, especially with Kelly McCrimmon deferring the bill to other teams.
