Struggling Ducks have problems in their dressing room
The Anaheim Ducks may have some tough decisions ahead.
Unlike the past three seasons when the Ducks were pretty much assured of a playoff berth at the all-star break, there are no guarantees this season.
The Ducks are sitting in eighth place — the final playoff spot — in the Western Conference with a 23-21-5 record, just two points ahead of Minnesota and Columbus.
Dallas and Colorado are just four points back, so Ducks general manager Bob Murray needs to figure out if it is time to reload or to rebuild.
"Something’s not right in the dressing room," Murray told the Los Angeles Daily News. "Within that group of players, it doesn’t for some reason lend itself to the team coming and playing with enthusiasm. There’s no energy. That could be a chemistry issue."
The Ducks’ core group has been together for several years, save for some minor tweaking. Murray admitted change isn’t out of the question.
"I’ve been with this group since Day 1 after the lockout," he told the Daily News. "There have been a few more bumps this year, but we had predicted there’d be more bumps this year. It may be a year where it may be time to move on."
