Around the NHL - (2024-25)

[Rybread86]

With the roster freeze in place, they cant move him until the 28th (?), so healthy scratching him in my mind means they already have a trade in place and have been asked to not play him.

@Leonardo87 you know better than most. Has his play been bad enough to scratch him or is this a trade lead up?

 

[FiveTacos]

He's not playing great but no way healthy scratch worthy. This is either a pending trade, or he's hurt/unable to play, or it's more pettiness from the team.

Good news, it makes the Ducks/Cronin/PV look like playing for Club Med.

Rangers 12 SOG, got shut out lol

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Mer Cogliano? A fish that never misses a game?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Lalonde fired, McLellan and Yawney hired

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Yzerman running out of ideas.

 

[ohcomeonref]

There goes McLellan

 

[mightyquack]

Yzerman running out of ideas.

Stock is dropping by the season.

Only thing worse would be if you hired off Yzerman's management tree to follow in his footsteps........oh

So if yzerman can change a coach mid-season, does that mean his protege verbeek can do it too?!

That's what I'm thinking. Come on Pat, make it happen!

What also hurts Yzerman is they missed on drafting a 1C to longterm replace Larkin who is gonna turn 31.
They've drafted Wingers/Dmen 'most' of the time with their highest picks. They also got shafted by the draft lottery. The Ducks have gotten Carlsson, Zegras, McTavish and even Gauther was a Center prospect when he was with Philly.

Larkin's 28.
