Before the season I said McTavish would need to take a step for the ducks to competitive. Ha hasn't.. Zegras and Mac t have regressed.. Although still young.. they have been in the league 3 years now.. Its not an excuse anymore.. Terry is the only one playing hard.. Its not about even playing hard... Its about how stupid Mac T is playing.. Dumb penalties.. Most in the offensive zone.. I gotta feeling Verbeek might trade one of the young guys for a shake up.. The truth is.. That wont work.. The coach is just way out of his league. We need a proven NHL ready coach.
It's too early in the season to make trades based on a few weeks of games.
Last year at this time Mac T looked like he was by far the best player on the team and people were wondering if Terry's contract would be an anchor to the teams salary cap in future years.
I feel like the team is too incomplete to really get a good read on what we have. You got green players who would probably be better served with some AHL experience (either this year or last) playing with overwhelmed vets that probably would be better served playing on a lower pairing / line. You have "older" youths like McTavish and Zegras who have been surrounded by some of the worst teams the league has ever seen, coached by one of the leagues worst coaches and possibly a second all time bad coach in Cronin.
I guess they could trade Zegras and or McTavish but I don't see the point in it. The names out there have been incredibly underwhelming.
