If Robertson is still a RFA, 5 yrs , 8.4m per costs a #1, #2, and a #3. we have 3 #2's and 2 #3's.

All very good posts in here. 👍 I can't see MacTavish in the minors at all. He's too good. No problem starting him off on a wing, but I hope is camp is so strong, they just make him 2C to start off with Lundy 3C. Olen 9 games for sure. No reason to rush him.

would rather see: Henrique - Zegras - Terry Vatrano - MacTavish - Strome Silfverberg - Lundestrom - Carrick (shut down line than can score 35-40 goals) Comtois - Grant - Jones Comtois know more for hitting now than goal scoring. Jones creates some energy also. Really like the top two lines for scoring.

also rec'd G Clang. Play his ass off to get a better contract next time in a better market for him. On ANA, he will get every opportunity to show his skills, and then possibly be traded to Cup contender at end.

and G Calle Clang, whom many are very high on

CapFriendly@CapFriendly · 13m D John Klingberg #Ducks #FlyTogether Confirmed Breakdown: 2022-23: $7M all base salary Includes a full no trade clause from now until January 1st, 2023, then turns into a 10 team no trade clause until the end of the season.

we weren't going to sign him to the deal he got in PITT. So we got a 2nd for nothing.

Just saw and really like VerBeast

at the deadline, those numbers will be much lower. Would be 50% of what is still owed.

Or maybe he wanted out of Dallas....

The problem is you have a complete lack of not understanding how a championship team is built. Verbeek has spent 16 years learning the craft under two very good GM's. He's really earned the right to be respected from Day 1 probably more than any first time GM hire in the history of the league. You want to make moves ASAP for the sake of making moves. Worst strategy possible. Kings did that for decades in their early years. PV exercised extreme patience because he knows what he's doing with the Klingberg signing today. Could not have gotten him for 1 yr 7mil, when FA opened. He understands to a great degree how to work the market place. This signing is so good on so many levels. 1. If he signs a really good F, and he's says he is looking to do so, then the Ducks have a good shot at being in the playoffs this year. 2. If he doesn't sign that F, probably due to the market place not being a good fit for the Ducks at this time, then maybe he flips Klingberg at deadline for a prospect and a pick. The accumulation of picks he's done and I'm sure will keep doing allows a team to be a consistent playoff team. Allows a team to build. Allows a team to trade for what's needed to make those pushes when the time is right. 3. This trade allows O.Z. another year to develop without being rushed. History has shown D men need time to develop. 4, This takes some pressure off of Drysdale and will allow him to focus more on development than being on #1 pair. We all want the Ducks to be a playoff team asap, but it's more important to do it right. Verbeek has NAILED every move so far. Worst case right now is that the team will be a very fun to watch, .500 team.

flip shatt and Drysdale... Great move. If the Ducks are still 10th from bottom, Klingberg gets flipped for prospect and a pick. If PV signs a solid F, a chance at the playoffs. Also allows O.Z. another year to develop and not be rushed.

agree with all of this. I don't think they are going to be awful this year at all. Maybe .500. McTavish is a lot better than most are giving him credit for.

It's amazing how ignorant this post is. Rakell and Lindholm have received deals that make zero sense for the Ducks longterm. He has signed two players that fit where he wants to take the team. More is needed for sure. He's told us what he's looking for still. He's told us and the players what he expects the players to be. He has like 16 years learning the job under two very good GM's. Post after post, you continue to not see anything past your nose. If they haven't made all the grades and FA signings by the end of the day, we see yet another one of these stupid rants. Maybe he'll get that D-man and the F soon. Even if he does, I think the big push comes next off-season. Terry, Zegras, Drysdale, MacTavis all need another valuable year under them. Look at COL, it takes a few yers for a team to mesh to win it all. He's doing a great job with what was handed him. We had 2 1sts this year 1 1st and 3 2nds next year along with 2 3rds 1 st and 2 2nds the year after that. This is how you build up a team that can win year after year and trade assets when needed to make a push. Very excited for the Ducks future.
