Elliotte Friedman broke the news on Monday that the Anaheim Ducks were in discussions with several teams about a Trevor Zegras trade. Not long later, he broke the news that Zegras was being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Further reports by Pierre LeBrun note the return as Ryan Poehling, pick 45 overall this year, and a 4th-round pick in 2026 for Zegras.

Zegras has one year left on a deal that pays him $5.75 million. He will then become a pending RFA. LeBrun notes, “Ducks and Flyers had been talking for a bit, but it escalated quickly this morning.”

Poehling, 26, is a speedy depth two-way centre with skill, especially as a puck carrier and passer. He played in 68 games for the Flyers last season and had 31 points. He’s more of a bottom-six depth center who is strong in front of the net and likes to cause chaos for opposing goaltenders.

For the Flyers, they’re landing a dynamic center with skill who can produce high-end offense, but is also working on his two-way game.

More to come. Check back as we update this story..
