Pretty much everyone knew Eakins was on the way out. Unlike his brief tenure with Edmonton he had the time to try be a good coach. Just wasn't meant to be. Being a holdover from BM didn't really help either. Going to be a very interesting off season for the Ducks. Can see a few vets not returning, Shattenkirik and Silfverberg to be specific. Having a top 3 pick is going to huge. The two things the Ducks really need to work on are defense and their passing game. I like what Verbeek is trying to do but it's going to be awhile before we turn it around.
