Now the rumor is that Zach told Waddell, "you have one more year to improve things or I'm out." Who knows. Werenski isn't an outspoken guy, but he's never been more valuable (and he knows it), so his patience for playing on middling teams is running thin. Between the Olympics and winning the Norris, he's more "known" across hockey than ever before.
I hope his demands (if he's actually making them) push the front office to make a push this year.
