Jamieson Coyle: “Okay, another team to keep an eye on, sounds like the Anaheim Ducks. Who are the most likely players in the transfer window to attract the most interest from other teams this season?”

Pagnotta: “Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to do anything before the regular season starts, but we've heard Cam Fowler and John Gibson's names in the last few weeks here.

And there's a lot going on on the Fowler front, as the Ducks and he and his camp have had discussions about where he might end up. He also has a limited no-trade clause, but is looking to expand on that and see what other options are available for him and where he can play this season.

Also, it doesn't necessarily mean that anything will happen in the next few weeks before the start of the season. I think they're talking to other people close to him, I think he would prefer that, but he doesn't say I think he also understands that it doesn't mean that's a foregone conclusion.

Another guy to watch this season, J-MO, is Trevor Zegres. We have heard his name a lot. We heard his name there. It's no secret that he didn't mind a change of position, but he didn't have the best seasons last year, he had a contract dispute, he waited things out, he started well, and then he faced some problems. injury.

I think the consensus here is, we've had a good start to the season, we've had a good year, and it's going to make things easier in terms of trying to trade him to a different place. Not only because of the better players that make him more attractive, but at the same time, it also helps the Anaheim Ducks to increase the potential return of Trevor Zegras.

Pat Verbeek doesn't want to run into anything, not only Zegras in front, Fowler and Gibson too. And of course, you've got Frank Vatrano who knows the kind of words out there.

But from the point of view of Zegras do not be surprised if we hear more about his name in the later part of the season, and if nothing is done in the last period, you probably see something that happens during the summer, unless Zegras has a change of heart, and decides that maybe there is a place where I want to be for a long time.
