Flames need to do a better job with him, and also probably emphasizes how brutal the start of the season was in and around the team with the expectations vs. the poor start.
Flames have to get better at handling, and embracing younger players who haven’t been pushed through the system for years of development. Which is fair, Zayne is the first one since Tkachuk to do it, but it’s a young league and so as much as it’s “Zayne has to be better”, the organization needs to learn how to onboard and embrace true young players unseasoned by the Wranglers etc.
There’s lessons in how defeated/down Zayne very openly admits to feeling - and damn good on him for answering questions in his own, unfiltered words. |
I can't see any glaring examples of mistakes made with him.
He's an offensive player, that was starting his NHL career with a team that couldn't score a goal to save their lives. That meant no points. And that meant eroding confidence.
They could have sent him back to juniors if they knew they'd suck in the first quarter, but not sure they would have predicted that.
Imagine if Parekh was on the team in the last 20 games? He's likely have 10 points and be well on his way.
