Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet is starting to realize what he might have in the newly acquired Trevor Zegras.

After practice Wednesday, Tocchet said he was quite pleased with how Zegras has approached training camp, practices, and thus far the one exhibition game Zegras has played. And it appears Zegras has taken a liking to his new coach, dubbing him, er, “Taco.”

“I think he calls me ‘Taco’ now, I don’t know what you call it,” Tocchet said as members of the media laughed in response.
