Going to need a new coach in Anaheim. Cronin has already neutered Zellweger and Mintyukov.

I think Cronin's okay for young defensemen. Zellweger and Minty are deployed differently. Zell is sheltered as an OFD with a 59.1% OZ start, which is a team high for all Ducks. Minty has a 38.6% OZ Start, with Gudas having the lowest OZ Start% among d-men with 38.3%. Zellweger's offense hasn't been neutered this season, but Minty's offense has taken a backseat due to the priority of defensive development (see OZ Start%).
Although, the rotation shit doesn't let Zell, Minty, nor Helleson get into their groove is all Verbeek. LaCombe playing consistently has helped his growth this season after Fowler was traded.
That’s by far what I’d rather see at this stage. Defense is a lot more likely to improve than offense

Mintyukov's OZs% is only 0.3% higher then Gudas, an absolute defensive defenceman. That sort of deployment is completely ridiculous, talk about not giving a young player any sort of chance and then being shocked when he's not tearing it up on the ice....
