Trevor Zegras and the Flyers: Elliotte Friedman (already) talks contract extension

In hockey, things can change quickly. Just ask Trevor Zegras!

If Zegras continues to produce at this level, and especially if he can avoid injury, this trade could very well be a bargain for general manager Daniel Briere.

Zegras is in the final year of a three-year deal that pays him an average of $5.75 million per year, and the Flyers would likely be interested in keeping the young forward long-term.

In short, the situation will be observed in the coming weeks.
