Ducks sign 2019 first-round pick Trevor Zegras to a three-year entry-level contract
The Ducks signed Boston University center Trevor Zegras, whom they drafted ninth overall in 2019, to a three-year entry-level contract.
www.latimes.comTrevor Zegras’ contract news has been quiet recently. The latest widely reported extension happened in 2023, when he signed a three-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks worth $17.25 million ($5.75 million AAV) through the 2025-26 season.[2][3][7]
Here’s what to know going forward:
- Current status: Zegras is an RFA, with Ducks as the last-known negotiating team from late 2023 coverage; no confirmed new contract has been publicly finalized since then. If you’re tracking 2026 developments, expect updates around summer 2026 as teams reassess his value after recent seasons.[3][2]
- What influences a new deal: production (points, goals, assists), role (top-line center/wing, power-play usage), durability, team playoff performance, and market dynamics for young core players. Recent rumors in 2025–26 sections of NHL chatter have speculated on his extension likelihood with potential landing spots, but nothing official.[8][9]
If you’d like, I can monitor (in real time) any official team press releases or trusted outlets for the exact terms of a new Zegras contract and summarize them with sources. Would you like me to do that and also pull the most recent contract benchmarks for players with similar profiles to help gauge value?
