Zellers was initially upset upon learning of his trade to the Boston Bruins, believing it disrupted his successful season in the USHL. Drafted by the Colorado Avalanche, Zellers had impressive stats and was a Player of the Year contender. After reflecting, he became enthusiastic about joining the Bruins, an Original Six team. He expressed feelings of honor wearing the Bruins' logo and noted the mixed emotions surrounding the trade. Zellers acknowledged his improved profile made him a desirable prospect, expressing the joy of being wanted at a young age.
It's kind of a weird feeling. I didn't really expect it at this young of an age. I was just hanging around with my buddy and my agent gave me a ring that I was being traded to the Boston Bruins."
I think if I could have picked a team to get traded to, I'd think an Original Six team, the Boston Bruins, one of the most historic teams in the NHL, no matter what year it is.
It's a good feeling to be wanted at this young of an age, no matter what you're doing or what level you're at.
