<p>Through part of five seasons with Anaheim, the 2019 first-round pick has recorded 62 goals and 108 assists for 170 points through 245 career contests, underscored by his career-high 65-point finish in 2022-23. The Ducks initially chose Zegras ninth overall in the 2019 NHL Draft.</p>



<p>Per&nbsp;<a href="https://puckpedia.com/player/trevor-zegras" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PuckPedia</a>, Zegras is in the second year of a three-year pact that carries a $5.75-million annual average value. Zegras is due to become a restricted free agent in the 2026 offseason.</p>



<p>Rasmussen has racked up nine goals and 16 points in 56 games this season with Detroit. Rasmussen put up a career-high 33 points in 75 games during the 2023-24 campaign.</p>

<p>Rasmussen was selected No. 9 overall in the 2017 NHL Draft by Detroit after scoring 32 goals and 55 points in 50 Western Hockey League (WHL) games with the Tri-City Americans. Rasmussen made the Red Wings full-time in 2018-19 before heading down to the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins the following year. He finally became a full-time NHLer in 2021-22 and has consistently produced at least 20 points a season ever since.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="200"></div>
