It’s an embarrassing cluster #%^*.
Zayne has not struggled in any meaningful way. Bad coaching has messed with his play (and likely his confidence).
It’s ridiculous.

Yup. This "it's not working" narrative that has emerged the last few games should be directed at the roster construction, coaching, and veterans (relative to expectations that they could be a playoff calibre team). Zayne has been very respectable for a 19 year old D man.
I think people are frustrated not with the results but from the dogged persistence of this franchise to continuously try the same exact things and shoot themselves in the foot over and over again and then wonder what the hell is going on.
Wake up to reality. Stop pretending you're doing these guys a favour by showing zero faith in their ability to develop their best traits on a team that is clearly not good enough (and again, I think we're mostly fine with that part of it).
