    Listing Eichel as missing is just plain stupid. I don't know, the last time I paid any attention, I didn't recall anyone having the Ducks team on par with Vegas. You may be a Vegas fan, but as far as the Ducks are concerned, I wouldn't discount the importance of Fowler or Zegras to the team. They're not in as esteemed company as Pacioretty and Stone, but they're valuable to the Ducks. I don't get putting the Ducks on par with Vegas to begin with. The season so far has been a pleasant surprise, and yes there's going to be hiccups along the way. I don't understand the need to ridicule. Vegas was, and is, a deeper club than the Ducks.

    We're missing 'ONE guy." No: Zegras Fowler Comtois Henrique Jones 🙄

    The year the Ducks won the Cup, they played Philly at home. Philly was atrocious that season. Ducks lost something like 7-2. Teams are always going to play stinker games. We can only hope it's a one off and not the start of a losing streak.

    Rumors floating around Jakob Chychrun (Az) LHD is available for trade. Has 3 years left at a cap hit of 4.6M. Ask is high, but I could see a package starting with our 1st and Comtois. At 23 he fits right in with our rebuild.

    Ducks sent McTavish down to specifically work on the C position. If he plays for the big club next season, I would substitute him for Grouix. I don't see him playing wing upon a recall. If Getzlaf retires, then obviously that changes things.

    Had season seats in the lower bowl until we tried one season in the 300 level. Haven't gone back down to the 200 level ever since. I think the 300 level has great site lines. Other than the box office, I think "714tickets" is the way to go. I know they're right across the street from the Honda Center. Or check some of the Ducks sites on FB. There's usually season ticket holders posting tickets for sale.

    Various sites are now listing their top 10 candidates to be traded at the deadline. The lists I saw not one Duck was mentioned.

    "The Michigan." Only a matter of time. 🤞
  9. dukitup
    And Getzlaf shortly before that.

    First bold = what's the rush? Deadline is March 21. Second bold = Then let Fowler mentor him. They moved Drysdale in with Lindholm in late November (not during the preseason). There's no hockey for a month because of the Olympics, and if Lindholm gets traded, Drysdale is out sometime mid/ late March. That's stupid. Makes no sense. Anyway, that's my take. If Lindholm is traded then Murray and Solomon are the new stars of a Dumb and Dumber sequel.

    Why would the Ducks have Drysdale move in with Lindholm and mentor him if there's a possibility he's leaving? Let him live with Fowler then. It makes no sense. So the speculation is at the trade deadline Drysdale is living alone and needing to move because Lindholm is now gone. Even worse conundrum is if the Ducks are still in the playoff hunt. "Thanks for the effort team, we're still trading Lindholm (Rakell and Manson for that matter)." I could see the team moving on from Manson at the deadline, but if by some miracle we're still in the hunt I think Rakell stays too. I admit I may be wrong, but moving Drysdale in with Lindholm seems to me a no brainer he's staying. If not, then Solomon is a bigger idiot than Murray.
  12. dukitup
    He's no longer on the roster. The Ducks evidently sent him back to the Gulls
  13. dukitup
    Your first bolded comment is the reason he should stay. Him mentoring Drysdale only adds to his importance. There is nobody in the system that can step in and replace him. Nobody. Going the UFA route to replace him will do nothing for the club. You're going to have to pay a premium and give max term for a player that's not as good as Lindholm. Keep him and watch Drysdale flourish.
  14. dukitup
    The Ducks did burn a year off of his ELC last year. We absolutely sucked, and the club could have easily restricted him to 9 games (same with Drysdale) which means he would have another 2 years making under 1M. By burning that 3rd year, he's gonna get big money one year earlier. Tit for tat imo. He's not gonna care one bit about reaching UFA status one year later.
  15. dukitup
    My thoughts exactly. Makes zero sense to have Lindholm move Drysdale in, mentor him, then trade him at the deadline. I'm not seeing it (not to mention they're also D partners).
