Confirmed Trade: [ANA/CBJ] Devin Shore for Sonny Milano

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Sonny Milano was a guy I always liked. It’s a lesson we always learn the hard way, but development paths are different for everyone.

The Athletic had a solid article about Eakins' "do it or else" message to Sonny, where Eakins basically said play this way on this team or play your way somewhere else. Thus, it makes sense that he liked Torts' straight forward communication. Perhaps the environment wasn't correct or simply he wasn't mature enough to ACTUALLY listen. In that article he credits (some of) his success to listening to what Eakins told him he had to do to stay in Anaheim.

Can't help but think that Zegras has helped Milano to flourish a lot.

But Milano is skilled and crazy enough to capitalize on it, it's just a great match. I would be interested to see how many points does Milano has without Z on the ice this year.
