Ducks trade Olen Zellweger to Sabres for Anton Wahlberg and pick

Summary

The Anaheim Ducks traded defenseman Olen Zellweger to the Buffalo Sabres for prospect Anton Wahlberg and the 45th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. This transaction marks the start of the Ducks' offseason retooling after Zellweger struggled to secure a consistent spot on the roster, being scratched in the playoffs. With the trade, Anaheim retains seven picks in the draft, including two second-rounders, and faces growing trade rumors regarding Mason McTavish. Wahlberg, a 20-year-old forward, had 37 points in the AHL last season and is expected to contribute as a solid forechecker for the Ducks moving forward.
