I know they're just doing their job, but if these insiders actually knew anything they'd have known about Drysdale being part of the Gauthier deal. Anyone who claims to know about how Z is a nuisance and annoyance to his own teammates and is on the outs with Verbeek doesn't know a thing.
There haven't been any comments about how Zegras is some kind of locker room disturbance, causing tension between teammates, getting on Verbeek's bad side...none of that. If you actually watch the games, Zegras has been playing much better defensively and has been stuck with the shambling corpse of Killorn and a distracted Terry, so he was snakebitten offensively. He is playing by Cronin's rules, he takes benchings in stride (and let's face it, there are so many other players that need benchings other than him), and by all accounts he's a net positive in the room.
If people think he's overrated and want to put him down as a player because he doesn't dominate the game despite the press he attracts, sure. But anyone who takes these rumours of Z being seriously shopped clearly doesn't watch the Ducks every game and just wants to feed into a juicy narrative. Nobody on our forums gives these rumours any time of day.
