Just Bobs poor excuse for continuing to be a below than average GM. My bet is that he missed on a couple of good trade opportunities and couldn’t pull it through ... like usual

Best thing in my opinion would be for Getz to be traded. It could be a win win for the team gaining assets and him as well having the opportunity to play for a contender. No point in whittling your last years with a second to last place tram which isn’t going to be good again for another few years.

Watch Bob will let Rakell go for freeeee in the expansion draft LOL. Wouldn’t doubt it, he let go a valuable asset last time around 😵

My biggest complaints for years about Bob has been how incredibly slow he is to react. I’ve always thought for many more years that he is a better assistant GM than as a top GM. Yes we have a small market team with not as much money to spend but that does not mean you sit on your hands most trading periods or just go dumpster diving for cheap reclamation projects every single year. His team vision is sub par and he can’t even decide which direction to build the team either. Time to get a new GM it’s long overdue.

We’ve had the same duo for a few years already and the results have been ... well you know

Hilarious! .... wait is this serious??

Would be awesome for Ovi to pass Wayne.

Exactly

I’m a firm believer that the US is one of the top leaders in medicine and healthcare. We have the best doctors and nurses from all over the world here so yes our death count for actual CCP virus related deaths should be lower when compared to other countries. dont get me wrong. This virus is nasty and is real but to the extent of what the mainstream media says it is?? I don’t think so. lets ask ourselves, if this thing is so crazy rampant and “surging” everywhere. How many people do you or your friends or their friends know who actually got this? I for one have polled everyone I know and they have asked their friends and so on and not a single person... none. Again, this is not to say that this thing is fake or not happening I’m just saying that when I look at the numbers and compare it to all the people I’ve spoken to which includes folks in Mexico and a couple of other states things don’t add up. also about people in government sincerely caring about the welfare of its people compared to power grabs, they will ALWAYS choose their own personal agenda. There is no doubt about that in my mind. what I’m saying here is that we need to look at everything going on around us and question it with our own eyes and our own minds especially when there is TON of misinformation out there intended to keep people in fear. This has always been the tactic of those in power to stay in power. Also, no disrespect to anyone here, my fellow duck fans just keep an open mind. I know there are lots of intelligent people on these boards....and my hope is that everyone stays safe and healthy.

Good conversations on the CCP virus. My 2 cents: How can the US have hundred of thousands more CCP Virus related deaths in the world when we have one of the best healthcare systems in the world bar none and we are still tripling and doubling up on countries like India and Brazil who have massive populations with India having almost more than China at 1.353 billion??? This tells me that the US States are purposely inflating the numbers. There are actually articles online with doctors even thinking this is the case. I think the hospitals are labeling as many deaths as COVID-19 related when its not the case and making it political while keeping the American people in constant fear. Fear is how the powerful stay in power and the media is all about it as well too since they love to sensationalize everything

This has ALWAYS been absurd. Proof it’s rigged. Just a way to boost whatever team they want which will project more money for them

This lottery is soo rigged. After the NHL got Edm all squared away with #1 picks it’s time to look at what other big market teams like LA can benefit from the rigging. So p-I-s-s-e-d

This is planned right on top of existing parking space for Honda Center. They must be building a parking structure as well. And more residential too eh? Crazy, that whole part of Anaheim is inundated with new residential buildings all around that area. Traffic is going to be INSANE even when there is no Honda Center event.

Incredible! Top notch owners. Now hope fans reciprocate with filling arena even when they are not doing great in the standings and stop complaining saying they will stop buying due to decline in standings

A contending team would be able to get away with a cheap contract for him after being bought out. (See Perry). ANA in the other hand will not be nearly as cheap unless there isn’t a huge market for him.

I would imagine he’s seeing the buyout as an opportunity to go with a contender. As we are not contenders he is certainly not going to sign with us for cheap unless we are offering him the most of any other team wanting him. I doubt we get him unless Bob pays him more than 3-4 mill +

Wonder if the Ducks could’ve put some clause in the buyout contract that says that if he resigns with any team following his buyout that said team needs to contribute like $1mill (something low and affordable) to help towards his buyout.

People need to stop comparing Perry and Teemu with regard to their knee injuries. They are completely different players. Teemu always was a speed player and so he relied on his knee to accommodate that speed. Perry on the other hand has never been the best skater and not nearly as quick. Perry has always been the grinding type player who just cycled down low and “slowed” the game down with Getz. As such, his knee is not going to make him a better skater nor a faster one. So really I don’t think he will come back and have ANYWHERE close of a resurgence that Teemu did ... not even close. The very wide majority of players only decline as they get to Perry’s age not get better. Sorry but he will never again be a 30 goal scorer. So paying him the amount he was getting to be a 20 goal scorer was insane. I love Perry too but seriously everyone don’t look at this with so much emotion. The younger kids who will take his spot will be better than what he currently brings to the table as far as points goes. This is the young players team now even Getz will eventually wind down. It’s just nature, people age and it’s also business too where spending that much money is better spent somewhere else and not on a 4th liner.

He’s a LW so he’s NA 😦

Good point. But Perry would still be taking up a roster space and arguably force a premature trade of one the younger players during that time span

Ok. So which young stud player would you be willing to burying at the 3-4 lines and possibly lose with the Seattle draft at the expense of keeping Perry?

I’m good with this. We need space for the young players and he was wayyy to expense to keep on 3rd or 4th. Bob wants to keep his good young players and not lose them because he couldn’t find space for them. This move had to be made.

LOL. Warren Buffet doesn't need more either and yet he’s still out there bank rolling the deals. We all want as much of that green paper we can get our hands on.
