Player Discussion Trevor Zegras : Part III

[Ducks]

Z is absolutely pivotal to any future success we have. His points may be down but his impact on the team is unmatched.

God. What a locker room cancer...

Sorry but I’m disappointed. The ducks need him to be a high end offensive player.

Sucking our thumbs about him when he’s at .49 PPG for the 2nd year in a row seems a little bit like we’ve capitulated

He’s varying levels of mediocre a lot of the time

As of right now, Cronin has ruined the Z we knew. I'm hoping that with the "old Z" coming back attitude-wise, maybe his offense will too.

I think it's a fit situation. There's no question Zegras needed accountability for his play and to focus on the defensive side of the game.

To his credit, both Zegras and Cronin believe he's improved in those areas and I would say there has been growth. At the same time, Cronin's system does not mesh with how Zegras wants to play. He's also center being forced to play wing.

Until there's a new coach, it's impossible to know how much is Zegras and how much is systems.

I know it's impossible to measure something like "vibes", but it absolutely seems to be night and day just on the bench during a game when Z is in lineup. Some guys just have that infectious energy that makes the daily drudgery of going to work a little less painful. He just seems to have fun when ever he is playing the game, and that shows in how he interacts with his team mates on ice, and on the bench.

I like Zegras more than I like this organization right now. I'd rather see Cronin, and even Verbeek, go long before Zegras does.
