The Anaheim Ducks, John Gibson And Even Trevor Zegras
Matt Levine: The Anaheim Ducks remain in a curious bind. They require to remain rather competitive however plainly have actually been attempting to determine what to do with John Gibson. Some think Gibson truly desired out of Anaheim. Some believe Ducks’ management has actually been attempting to shop him for more than 2 years.
Somewhere the fact remains in the middle. Anaheim’s restore makes it clear with their depth finalizings that they require Gibson to remain for some time. Add because wage cap issue also. Also, Pat Verbeek tattooed some veterans that perhaps persuaded the goaltender that staying was the very best strategy in the meantime.
That is far from the only thing going on in Anaheim. Trevor Zegras stays anonymous and little motion appears likely from either side as September starts. Anaheim stays poised to surround the star with as much skill to reinforce the protective side of things as possible.
One thing is particular. The Ducks are attempting. The concern is just how much can they climb up and their limbo is not like the Winnipeg Jets.
