Thread: The most id give up for Zegras
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>Anderson isnt a dump for anyone, hed be their 3rd best winger and that 1st is this years as the Habs with Zegras arent finishing bottom 5</div></div>

Killorn, Terry, Vatrano, Henrique, and whatever one of McTavish or Strome plays on the wing this year are all better wingers than Anderson. Anderson isn’t good, he’s a major cap dump

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffGorton</b></div><div>notice how i said winger

A winger is a player that plays on the Wing. There is a Left Wing and a Right Wing. You named 2 players that play the Center position. The Center is the player that plays in the middle of the forwards. Takes faceoffs.

Hope you now understand better</div></div>

So is Anaheim gonna play all 6 of Zegras, Carlsson, McTavish, Henrique, Strome, and Lundestrom at Center? No because a team only uses 4 players at Center

Hope you now understand better

"It is expected that Mike Babcock will resign as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets this afternoon"

WOW</div></div>

It's official now.
Something about several minute long, meetings away from team facilities and younger players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Babcock knew what he was doing . Young Guys like Fantilli, Johnston, sillinger, boqvist likely had pictures of them partying/drinking and he knew it would make them feel uncomfortable</div></div>

I'd say that is as likely an explanation as any. Younger players don't have "families" in the same sense as the older players, and likely have more "intimately revealing" photos, such as parties, pictures with girls (or guys), things they found funny, like their buddy Frank mounting a fire hydrant, etc.
Generally ammunition a coach could use to exert control or shame into desired behaviors.
