Trevor Zegras arrives in Philadelphia with a question mark as big as his talent

On June 23, Trevor Zegras moved from the Ducks to the Flyers. Philadelphia is building a talented club, but will the American be the Zegras of his first two full NHL seasons, or his last two?

Daniel Brière hopes he'll get the best of the Zegras, that's for sure. Brady Tkachuk and the Flyers' protégé have been practicing together over the summer, and the Sens captain believes the change of scenery will benefit him. Tkachuk had nothing but good things to say about the Flyers.

He's always thought it's a tough team to play against, and there are a lot of good players in this club. He's excited to see the progress of a player he considers his friend – the two got to know each other when they played in World Championships together. The younger of the Tkachuk brothers also believes that playing under Rick Tocchet will be good for Z's development.

Tocchet is a proven, demanding coach, but one who is well respected by his team. Playing in a healthy environment is important, and that's what Zegras needs. He and Matvei Michkov are probably the most talented on the team. We're likely to see plenty of highlights between the two players, including a few Michigans over the course of the season.

Good thing John Tortorella is gone... Philly hasn't been to the playoffs since 2020. That's a long time. Will the tide turn in 2025-2026? [spacer title='Overtime'] – Yes.
