The Anaheim Ducks have made a significant coaching change, parting ways with head coach Greg Cronin despite a notable 21-point improvement in standings this season. General Manager Pat Verbeek indicated that a new direction was needed and highlighted issues with culture and player support for Cronin. Speculations suggest the team may prioritize star forward Trevor Zegras, especially given their rocky history and potential trade discussions surrounding him. Verbeek’s comments hint at an aggressive offseason strategy to bolster the Ducks’ playoff ambitions, though they will face stiff competition in the Pacific Division.
