    Greg Cronin - New Head Coach

    My point is that Cronin did not have a great G, a great C, a great W, and a great Dman to work with.  He actually had zero of that.  Brunette had ALL of that.

    Give Brunette the Ducks roster and he very well may have had them playing better.  But they were not remotely sniffing the playoffs.  Talent deficit.

    Coaches make teams and teams make coaches.  It is 100% symbiotic.

    Not to much Interconnected Linked.

    This Offseason is perhaps Ducks GMPV Chance to really prove his critics wrong......ngl I think with Free agency in Summer may be test for Beeker going forward...Who knows maybe he will surprise with BIG Free Agent Signing.

    You are right.  And for the owners it's about  money they make on the OC Vibe and creating photo ops for Susan...

    Supposedly Ducks will get NHL Allstar Game or Entry Draft Once It is completed.

    Well, I certainly didn’t mean it as anything negative. He’s happy when he talks, he talks when he’s happy, I’m happy when Z’s happy. 😊 

    I am also Happy too....when Z-man Talks and Ducks Win I am happy it makes me achieve foresight into the future j/k.

    Realistically, I think there are 2 chances of Pesce signing here: slim and none. So either GMPV uses his draft capital to trade for an RD or he goes after a different UFA. I don't think either are on his to-do list. I'll just be comfortable with the notion that our defense will be:

    Fowler/Luneau-LaCombe

    Mintyukov/Gudas

    OZ/Lindstrom

    Like Pairings I would wonder IF Ducks are thinking of Trading Urho....I prefer to keep him imho....

    How many games are left?

    Do the ducks win any of them?

    Perhaps a repeat of the worst team in the NHL again?

    Might garner a 2nd pick?

    Celebrini is already a Blackhawk. No way ducks pick first. Ever…

    Thanks coach. Just stay the course.

    And you too pat… We are all excited.

    Rather have the Ducks win as many as Possible...why just a flawed System to determine where the Ducks will pick.....

    Hard to imagine that the coach they have is worse than the previous one.

    Didn’t see that as a possibility 

    We hope for the best clearly alot of things need to be address...Unlike some I disagree who throw in the towel I see things differently.

    Oh yes absolutely! I wasn’t saying I think PV will have him on a short leash, I meant for me personally on my imaginary team that I own, he’s on a short leash next season lol

    Its his first season with the Ducks....did we hope he can help turn things around and revitalize the team....Well Yes cause I thought it would...cept it seems Things are turning out not well disappointingly.

    I doubt Monty will go back to the dumpster fire that traded him.

    Its best for the Ducks to move on from Him...I am sure Monty has already focus on the path ahead for him.

    Here's my $.02 - which has an actual value of much less:

     

    1.  The old saying about GM's is that if they listen to fans they are soon sitting with them.

    2.  GMPV could have - possibly, not undoubtably - made a bigger splash last offseason, but I think the addition of Killorn and Gudas and Lyubushkin were fine.  C+, probably a B- if more guys (Drysdale, Zegras, Terry) had pulled their weight early on.  So, he could have shown us more of "who he really is" as a GM last summer, but I'm not all put out that he did not.  This summer?  He better kill it.  Top 6 W, Top 4 RHD, a coach to build a deadly PP.

    3.  I don't expect any GM to be 100% honest and truthful with the media/public/fans at an event like this, an event that is easily viewable by anyone with an internet connection.  Why would you show all your cards to your competitors?  I'm gonna give him a pass on not laying out his complete plan with all his moves and details at this event.  That would be odd.

    4.  I think, from what he has said, his general plan thru this season was to retain and compile assets and prospects, and he has 100% done that.  His only significant move was to trade a kid from depth to get a kid for need, and that was a very good move, imo.  Now, he appears to have the goods and the mindset to start using those assets, both picks and prospects - and NHL roster players, if the deal is good -, to get better at the NHL level, meaning acquiring NHL-proven players.  Again, this summer is make-or-break for him, imo.

     

    Reading the comments by Ducks GMPV its very clear to me he was expecting this....His Patience is unlimited at times compare to several Ducks Fans including Me.
