-Pagnotta says that even though Verbeek has set a high price for the services of Trevor Zegras, there's eight teams vying for his services: Chicago, NYR, Montreal, Ottawa, Philly, Nashville, Buffalo, and of course-Calgary. He thinks Anaheim wants young players that play right away in their lineup.

The Sportsnet scenario seems unlikely to say the least. Marner would need to believe he would have a more productive year in CGY than in TOR. That or be interested in signing here like Huberdeau before even playing a game... Otherwise I think that 2 years of Andersson at $4.5M have more value than 1 year of Marner at $10.9M.
I read similar rumors that CGY has been connected to Zegras as well, but they seem more like an afterthought than a frontrunner.
