The news was interesting considering that they won\u2019t be contending for a Stanley Cup anytime soon, but it could also help the team down the road if the acquisition was young enough. Armchair GMs everywhere have advocated for Chicago to go get a top, young talent in the trade market as soon as possible, especially one who could break Connor Bedard out of his ongoing slump.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmockery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/USATSI_24713441-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Disgruntled Forward Would Be Perfect Trade Acquisition For Stumbling  Blackhawks\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the past week, an opportunity has opened up for the Blackhawks to go get the center they\u2019ve been looking for via trade, and one who might not cost them too many assets. Ducks forward Trevor Zegras has made it clear that he\u2019s not happy with his role on the team, and is looking for a role Chicago can easily offer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Trevor Zegras prefers playing center.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlysonLozoff?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AlysonLozoff<\/a> has the story on why No. 11 prefers playing in the middle.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FlyTogether?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FlyTogether<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D9i392uCNG\">pic.twitter.com\/D9i392uCNG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ducks on Victory+ (@DucksOnVictory) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DucksOnVictory\/status\/1855105050655281161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that Zegras has been at the center of the rumor mill. Back in June, I listed him as one of four star forwards on Chicago\u2019s \u201ctrade watch list\u201d because of rumors that he could be open to a move to a bigger market like Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>With the Ducks still squarely in the middle of a rebuild, they likely won\u2019t shy away from trading him before this year\u2019s deadline. In doing so, they could rid themselves of the last year and a half of Zegras\u2019 contract with an AAV of $5.75 million.<\/p>\n<p>That number wouldn\u2019t be a problem for the Blackhawks, however, who would be the perfect fit for Zegras\u2019 services. It became evident at the start of the season that Chicago had a big hole at second-line center, and with Bedard being moved to the wing, they could now have a hole at top-line center. The Blackhawks could certainly use a bit more offensive firepower.<\/p>\n<p>Zegras has been far from productive this season, with two goals and seven points in 19 games. If part of that can be attributed to him playing on the wing, there\u2019s incredible buy-low potential with the 23-year-old star. The Blackhawks are armed with two first-round picks next summer and could deal one of those, along with a prospect, to get the deal done. Since Zegras is still just 23, there\u2019s plenty of upside for him to become an integral part of Chicago\u2019s offensive attack for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past week, an opportunity has opened up for the Blackhawks to go get the center they\u2019ve been looking for via trade, and one who might not cost them too many assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,10,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks","category-nfl","category-san-francisco-49ers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
