The Anaheim Ducks are looking for veteran depth up front, and will listen to John Gibson and Trevor Zegras
Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: The Anaheim Ducks hope they can take the next step and have another early first-round pick next year. GM Pat Verbeek has his eye on roster development.
“I would like to add a few more veteran pieces to the team. I’d like to get a top six player, and I’d like to get a top four defenseman. You know, 31 other teams can say the same thing, right?”
Verbeek wants to add some depth but still allow children to discover more information. He explores both the free agent and trade market.

They will call on goalkeeper John Gibson but it is okay that he is still with the team. He has three years left at $6.4 million.
A league source said the Ducks have agreed to call up infielder Trevor Zegras and will trade him for the right deal… Verbeek did not comment.
The Montreal Canadiens signed Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras
Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic: The Montreal Canadiens traded for Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook leading to the latest draft, and GM Kent Hughes may be looking at the same type of move again.
“I think so. If we can get a player, if we can trade for an adjustment, we have to look at any way we can improve this team. We’re not going to end up with something that’s going to make us better next season. But if it happens, that’s icing on the cake.”
Sources say the Canadiens have signed Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas. They are also believed to be in on Trevor Zegras, though they may not be aggressive about it.

Who is selected with the first four picks of the draft can determine whether they trade or hold on to the number 5 pick. The Canadiens are probably looking more forward than defense at 5.
