Guess who’s back? Back again? Trevor’s back. Tell a friend. Guess who’s back? Guess who’s back. That is right it felt so empty without Trevor Zegras in Anaheim Ducks training camp. Well, the stalemate is over between the Ducks and Zegras.
Anaheim announced they have signed the RFA forward to a new three-year contract worth $17.1 million. His new contract has a salary of $5.75 million throughout the entirety of the contract.

🚨 HE’S BACK! 🚨
We’ve agreed to terms with forward Trevor Zegras on a three-year contract.#FlyTogether
— Anaheim Ducks (@AnaheimDucks) October 2, 2023
New deal for Trevor Zegras with #NHLDucks: 3 years x $5.75 million.
And then there were two unsigned RFAs remaining: Jamie Drysdale (#NHLDucks) and Shane Pinto (#Sens).@DailyFaceoff

That means when the contract is over in three years unless the Ducks have signed Zegras to another extension, he will once again be RFA eligible. But this time, he will have a qualifying offer of $5.75 million.
The #FlyTogether signed 22 y/o RFA F Trevor Zegras to 3 year $5.75M Cap Hit Deal
Includes $5.75M Salary in all 3 years
On expiry will be RFA w/ $5.75M QO & 2 years from UFA eligibility

In a statement released to the media, general manager Pat Verbeek was happy to get Zegras back into the fold.
“We are very pleased to be able to get Trevor signed and back on the ice where he belongs,” said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek. “We view Trevor as a critical and valued player and member of our organization and can’t wait to see the next chapter in his career.”
If this situation did not get settled, there could have been more damage done to the relationship between these two parties down the road. Not to mention, the Ducks need this player in training camp, especially with a new coach.

Zegras has recorded 139 points (49 goals and 90 assists) in 180 career NHL games with the Ducks. Last season, he career highs with 65 points (23 goals and 42 assists) playing in 81 games for the Ducks last season. That was his second 60-point campaign. During his rookie year of 2021-22, he recorded 61 points (23 goals and 38 assists).
He is only going to get better. The ceiling is high for him, especially being a marketable player. We know the tricks he can do with the puck, but he is very skilled as well. An excellent passer of the puck, he is really rock solid and again, only going to get better.
The Ducks knew how valuable Trevor Zegras was to their organization. Thus, it was time to make the deal happen. However, it took some work and the help of both parties talking it out to make it a reality.
Ducks GM Pat Verbeek and Zegras’ agent Pat Brisson had a lengthy meeting last week which finally help break the stalemate. It was a grind of a negotiation to be sure.

With Zegras locked up to his bridge deal, the next piece of the puzzle for Anaheim to get into camp is defenseman Jamie Drysdale.
Out on the East Coast, the other remaining RFA is Shane Pinto. Ottawa wants to get him into camp as well.
