Elliott Teaford of the OC Register answers questions from fans regarding the Anaheim Ducks,

Q: Do you get the sense Carlyle is going to finish out the season before moving to the front office, regardless of losing streak or missing playoffs?

A: That’s a very likely scenario.

Q: Any word on who Carlyle’s successor might be?

A: Dallas Eakins, the coach of the Ducks’ AHL team in San Diego, could be in line for another crack at an NHL gig after a disastrous run a few years back at Edmonton. It also depends upon who is available after the season.

Q: Do you think we’d be in this position if we had Perry and Eaves? A fully healthy roster.

A: Probably not as bad. The first month to six weeks of the season would have been better, that’s for sure. Four rookies playing in the defense corps? I don’t think I had ever seen three rookies before this season. Amazing it hasn’t been worse, really.
