Sujet: Zegras is the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>Yeah yeah he is the next gretzky! Stop jerking yourself about it. The kids haven’t done anything yet. All the players in that tournament have a tons of skill but there only a few who will hahe a real impact in nhl. You might remember max friberg he was your next great one a fee year ago, don’t need to tell you the end of the story</div></div>

No one is calling him the next Gretzky so calm down. Maybe he could be the next Getzlaf if we’re lucky. But I’m just trying to be excited for the future cause the ducks best strength is their prospects. I’m not dumb enough to think tournament success automatically equals success. Terry was also a beast in WJHC but hasn’t found success yet. While Gibson was dominant in WJHC is arguably the best player on the ducks. But he has been an offensive force so far. He drives play, he’s really creative with the puck, he’s got great hockey IQ, and sees the ice really well. Reminds me a lot of Getzlaf or Toews.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheJoeMan</b></div><div>I think Steel is best utilized at center though I get the impulse to give him a better opportunity being on the top line. I think Shore has no place on this team. Not talented enough to be a top-6 guy and not fast and gritty enough to be a bottom-6 guy. Comtois brings the most effort and generates the most chances of our young guys so I wouldn't take him out of the lineup. He can swap with Jones though. I'm starting to worry that kid just doesn't have the hands for the bigs.</div></div>

Shore was one of our best players in the first 3 or so games. And then has been on a steady decline since. I think he's a decent 2 way guy and decent PK guy, but couldnt agree more that he has no place in the line up. As far as the kids go, I think they are going to get there. But they just arent there this year. The confidence and the skill just arent there. Jones could be really effective if he made smarter plays and stopped trying to either make the quick choice just wrong choice all together. Comtois and Getz are really fun to watch together so far. I think Ritchie has been better on that line that he has in awhile, but he's not the right guy. Not sure who is though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>I don’t mind moving Steel to the wing for a couple games. Bring up Lundestrom to for the all Swede line. And Comtois over Terry. Terry needs to sit. He won’t shoot the puck. Need to find a way to get thru to him. Sit him a game and see if he figure sit out. Had the puck in the slot twice last night and didn’t shoot either time.</div></div>

Terry is Getz Jr. Tries to do too much with the puck and wants to drive play, but he hasnt figured out how to make plays with the puck yet. He cant pass as well as Getz and has more than good enough of a shot that he should take more. I think he got really discouraged early on because he hit so many posts. He absolutely needs a message or a good scoring game to get his confidence.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Sadly, I must confess that I agree with you. And rather than entertain pipe dreams about Taylor Hall, Bob Murray should be trying to address the problem of a weak RD, particularly now that Josh Manson may be injured. He should be thinking ahead about all sorts of free agents from Mark Pysyk to Alex Pietrangelo and whether there is any way he could pry Brett Pesce away from a temporarily incompetent Don Waddell.

If we're talking about the New Jersey Devils, I'd much rather explore the subject of Damon Severson.</div></div>

Agreed. RD is a bigger need. I think we are still lacking a true goal scorer, though Rakell and Silfverberg can surprise at times. But if we don’t get our D figured out Gibson will be exhausted before the season is half over.
