Some interesting updates from Derek Lee after the Ducks' practice on Saturday. Most interesting to me is the top-2 lines for practice were Rico-Carlsson-Strome and Vatrano-McTavish-Terry. I've been waiting to see that second line play together since October. I'm hoping they gel so that we can see Killer-Carlsson-Zegras in a few weeks when everyone is healthy.
Glad to hear that Mintyukov is getting close too.
Happy To hear that too. It won't be long till others are healthy and ready to go suit up for our Anaheim Ducks.

It’s also not ironic that the Zegras speculation started after drysdale got traded. “If they trade Zegras’ buddy, then he could get traded also!” seems to be the initial basis. Now it’s the contract issue from four months ago.
of all these reasons we’ve discussed for why Zegras could get traded in the future, these are the weakest.
Glad I am not only one who notice that....Speculation started after Ducks traded Drysdale.

Definitly in regards to all speculation and rumors between our Ducks and Z-man Trevor Zegras...All of it should be taken with grain of salt no more no less.

Vegas (won the cup)-Affiliate is in Henderson, NV
Colorado (won the cup)-Affiliate is in Loveland, CO
I understand your point with Theodore but I don't think you're taking point into consideration. If the Ducks affiliate back then was on the east coast or even mid-west with the Eakins coaching staff, would distance have mattered?
You implying that IF the Ducks had a their Farm team closer years prior it would help in the Development of our prospects in Winning the Stanley Cup?

I guess it depends what Cronin and GMPV value. Zegras (back 2 back 23 goal seasons before this injury riddled season where he’s much more complete player) / mason from 17 goals to on an 82 game average of 25 goals this year. Terry is on pace for 26 goals per 82…. Leo is on pace for 21 goals as a rookie per 82 games….. and cutter seems to project as a 30 goal scorer.
so we have 20 - 25 goal scores in 4 of our top 6 with cutter being a ? One in his second year / one a rookie / one 26 years old and one in his 3rd.
I’d argue our snipers are cutter and mason….. Zegras and Leo are playmakers who can score and terry is pretty complete player maker slash goal scorer.
would you run a
Cutter - Leo - terry
mason - z - vats
?
IMHO it would not hurt to try IF it happens.

Very true.
Also, my preferred scenario is that Zegras stays and that we get Levshunov at #3-5 in the draft and then sign or trade for a legit top-4 RHD to play with Mintyukov. This proposed Zegras trade is all just a thought exercise. I don't want to trade him.
Trading Z-man would be Mistake.

Yeah from what I remember, Murray had an Etem jersey ready. Dallas picked Campbell. The Ducks contingent scrambled and picked Fowler. Towards the end of the video you can see Etem putting his jersey on.
I remember watching that and many of us Ducks Fans were happy with the Pick and reading the Ducks wanted to pick Etem at 12th was rumor I heard days after the NHL Draft back then.

I would say just because the "rumor mills" aren't talking about Carrick and Silfverberg that doesn't mean there isn't any interest in them. I do believe some teams would want Carrick since he's cheap and could add some grit. Silf could add some veteran leadership to the right team, say Detroit. Zegras is always going to be in the rumor mill just like Gibson.
That is true which I always take these as nothing more then Here-say and Gossip.

Fowler is the last man standing from the Getzlaf era. He's a precious veteran, but it really is a time to move on and build a new identity.
I have heard alot of talk among the Ducks Fanbase of wanting him and Ducks to move on...Some felt its time...others no sure.

No, just like Cam Fowler is not Scott Niedermayer, Cam got tired of telling that to people for 10+ years straight.
I wonder if he is still tired about now? Oh well Ducks have team full of potential so Best we put it in rear mirror.

I do think he is overrated. In the sense that he will be a great second line guy, but a first line guy? Not sure that’s happening. He does flashy stuff, has an ego/cockiness, but is still only a 60-70 pt guy. At times they make him look/sound like a 90-100pt guy. Please prove me wrong Z. But that’s how I see it.
When he returns From IR...He should be Motivated to just do what needs to prove Naysayers wrong. Would love to see IF he can score 50 Next Season.

This Season for our Ducks I have feeling we will see more as NHL Trade Deadline day gets closer.

I will say this...Ducks calling up some Players will be done After NHL Trade Deadline or days before...Just wanna say that out now. Zellweger imho the First of many Callups.

I think we have a good defensive coach. And I’d argue how long he’s been around the game….. the fact he basically started the USDPL… he is a real hockey guy
Then I guess we are seeing his mentoring of the Ducks right now.....Yes he is Hockey Guy and hopefully he gets some good result when Season begins.

I support sending LaCombe somewhere close to home in Minnesota, he canenjoy being eternally mediocre in the Twin Cities. Just need to find the right trade to get value out of him. Can keep Vaaks for 3d LD instead.
Basically I think IF Ducks decide to Trade LaCombe it will come down to making Tough Decisons to benefit our team in Longrun. There will come a time when Ducks will have to make that Decison.

I'm thinking it will look very similar to that.
It Should be....I have feeling we are seeing the Future of the Ducks as we speak. On the Blueline I expect some callups once Allstar Break concludes.

Ah, true enough. I don’t know I just feel weird. Zegras was never overrated by anyone. He’s just marketable so people get bad about it. Which is stupid
Marketable YES and someone who can create enough buzz each time Ducks visit sworn rivals and enemies.

I could see it. He's definitely a Drysdale replacement.
L - Mintyukov, Zellweger, LaCombe
R - Fowler, Gudas, Luneau
7th - Vaakainainen or a vet
That's SUPER young and very inexperienced, but it still might make sense. Could be a trade over the summer, too.
I like you Ducks Defensive Pairings you have there.....are you expecting this will be the Ducks Defence Corps in few years?.

Zellweger will be called up soon once Allstar Break is over....Don't be surprise IF Ducks call up few more players after NHL Trade deadline day.

I guess he's a Duck for life then. Why on Earth would these "journalists" speculate on him being traded? If potential future teammates view him as this bad, a cancer and a talentless oaf, then nobody would want to play with him. No GM would want to trade for him.
