So glad the Ducks And Rangers are not playing Tampa this year. They are going to eat their division alive, and without Kucherov.
He's also a 2016 draft pick like Steel and Jones. But unlike us the Blues let him play and build up in the AHL even last yearBeen impressed by Jordan Kyrou. Been waiting for his breakout
They also have adequate veteran talent for him to play with, like Bozak, Schwartz, Schenn, etc. meanwhile Steel is playing on a kid line lolHe's also a 2016 draft pick like Steel and Jones. But unlike us the Blues let him play and build up in the AHL even last year
He's a 2nd round pick btw.
Watching the Sabres game and there is so much rust. Eichel is struggling just to make basic tape to tape passes.
You should watch the Rangers game. They look awful. No passes connecting. But this is what I expected. Some teams will manage and some will struggle.
I take it he’s faring better this time around? He was awful last night.McDavid plays just like Zegras did in WJC...but against the best players in the world. God damn McDavid is fun to watch.

But Steel is playing with Terry, who was the saviour of the Ducks when he signed. Well at least at this board.
A lot of that was based in large part on Terry looking good in the Olympics in 2018 at 20 playing against 25-35 year old men. His impact in the NHL has been far less impressive.
I think Ducks fans are fairly realistic towards Z and D.Expections are always way off here. Z and Drysdale are the next on the list. Never played a pro game so far and Z did not trash the college league. They have all the talent but the way is tough. Terry is a good example.

Depends what exactly are those expectations, in the main board thread other teams fans are definitely hyping him up more than Ducks fan. I was just comparing that.I think expections are too high. The NHL is not a league where talent alone will do it. Physically demanding and tough to handle. Both are not there yet imho. Z looks like a kid, much like Terry.
I'm really enjoying watching the Canadiens play. 3 very solid lines and the combination of Suzuki and Josh Anderson is working really well already. Romanov also looks like a good one, too.
