Hall of Famer Paul Kariya is the only Ducks player to record more points than Zegras has at this age, giving the restricted free agent leverage when it comes to a contract extension.
| UPDATED:ANAHEIM — The conversation with Trevor Zegras on Thursday morning started by touching briefly on the upcoming World Championships and then wandered elsewhere.However, that doesn’t mean Zegras is a lock to get on the plane to represent Team USA in the tournament being co-hosted by Tampere, Finland and Riga, Latvia. Even though the Ducks’ season wraps up on April 13, there are other matters taking precedence.
“I think it’s something you’ve got to think about,” he said. “Obviously with stuff up in the air for this summer it might be tough to do that but it’s definitely something I’d be very honored to do at some point. If it’s something I end up doing, I probably won’t know until a little bit later.” Front and center is a contract extension. Zegras, the Ducks’ leading scorer, will be coming out of his three-year, entry-level deal , making him a restricted free agent and awaiting a big pay raise.His agent, the Los Angeles-based Pat Brisson, said via text that he should be talking to Ducks GM Pat Verbeek “soon here about an extension.
Zegras turned 22 on Monday and it was notable in that he had the second-most points in franchise history before turning 22, trailing only Hall of Famer Paul Kariya.
