The 2024 NHL Draft may vary if Canadians trade Trevor Zegrass
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman was on the Sirius XM NHL Network Network Morning Skate Wednesday with Gord Stellick and Scott Laughlin and was asked about the Montreal Canadiens signing Ivan Demidov. Friedman mentioned that the Canadians tried to trade Trevor Zegras in the 2024 NHL Draft but decided to retain the fifth overall pick to win Demidov.

NHL Rumors: Montreal Canadians and Minnesota Outdoor
Gord Stellick: “So curious about what they’ll get. Let’s face it, you want him to play in Montreal. And last year’s fifth pick, he was the first to be like a 19-year-old, because he was born in December, because he’s a little older, so he’s not easy in 65 games. In 65 games, he’s not easy in the KHL – I mean a guy, he’s a guy, he’s a guy, he’s a guy, yours, you’re yours, it’s yours, we’re playing, we’re playing, we’re playing. Kreider, Cale Makar, Matthew Knies, NCAA graduates have an immediate impact in the playoffs.
Elliotte Friedman: “Well, I know a few people who have seen him and they say he’s a stud Gord. They won a playoff spot last night (Tuesday night) with the wings.
Especially if you go back to early December, no one thinks this will happen. So everyone here is very excited about it. Then there was the news, and they were very excited about it. Therefore, he is an influencer. He has the opportunity to become a player of great influence.
NHL Rumor: Anaheim Ducks is still calling Trevor Zegras
I’m there to tell you other things. One thing I wrote today is that I was told that there were two deals that might have really changed the process of last year’s draft. One of them was Artyom’s second pick, and then they offered Columbus the first place for the fourth overall election this year, which Columbus didn’t accept. They decided to keep it and took Cayden Lindstrom as an example.
Montreal is still looking for a deal with Trevor Zegras, which I don’t think is the fifth pick. Maybe it’s my feeling that this could be the first round pick later, although I’m not sure. But they are looking for a deal with Zegras and when Demidov starts to drop, I think Canadians have changed their minds and they keep going. They did not reach an agreement, they drafted Demidov.
So, like there were a few times in the draft last year, the situation may have been done differently, but that is not the case. They keep the players and now we will get rewards.
