    What's worse it this also affects our image with UFAs. What high profile players would want to come here seeing things like this? I understand trying to find a middle ground with the arbitrator but this just hurts our organizational image more than helps us get the ruling in our favor. Honestly this looks like Terry isn't going to be a Duck for long. I'm getting worried what Zegras is being offered.

    Oh the Pacific division.... I'd love for us to start dominating our rivals to the north starting next season. I'd like for nothing more than to watch the Kings lose. Playoffs, probably not. Beating the Kings? Yes please!

    Best response ever.

    Wouldn't this hurt Murray more though? Like missing a year could be career threatening for him. If he's ready to play I would think he'd play. But that was pretty funny!😂

    Oh I've followed Perry to every team but Chicago hurts. I guess I'll watch the highlights of Perry and Bedard but I'm not rooting for them at all.
  6. g20topdogg
    I think Perry signed for two years so that's going to hurt more than you think. 😥

    They can still buy out Murray I believe. But I'm sure they're trying to trade guys out first instead of just buying them out to get as much savings as they can.

    I don't think that's how it works. Likely the arbitrator looked at comparables given by each side and judged that likely he ended up somewhere in between the comparables. Both sides want the maximum for what they're looking for so the guys they argue will be highly in each other's favor. But in the Leafs case because they don't have cap space they really needed to play hard ball. Tough luck for them. We can easily help out a fellow team. 😂😂😂for the right price of course!

    Well that too! 😂

    Emerson Etem former Ducks phenom?
  11. g20topdogg
    He might end up scoring decent points if he's used properly.
  12. g20topdogg
    My biggest issue with his tenure here was not the player himself rather Eakins strange utilization of him and D-Lo.
  13. g20topdogg
    He's just a player that wasn't good enough to play in the top 6 and wasn't really geared to play bottom 6 either. I'll say that I hope his spot gets taken by one of the kids though. If it's some low ceiling guy not from the farm I'd rather have Grant. Hope he does well in Europe.

    Interesting. If you project Zegras numbers over the course of 80 games he ends up with about 10 G and 33 A for 43 pts. McT had 17 G and 26 A for 43 pts However, I'd say that Zegras probably would have had better numbers if he had played all 80 games. It's all going to depend on what McT can produce next season. That's really going to determine his next contact and if it's going to be higher than Zegras.

    I'm probably one of the few on here that actually liked Grant. I thought he was a good 4th liner. When he came back into the lineup I thought that line had some jump. He's actually not a bad passer either.

    Yeah I don't see Gibson bring moved this off season. I still think he plays this year and maybe next off season he gets traded where his contract is more palatable and shorter. I still think the defense isn't helping him any and if PV wants to trade him he needs to do more with this defense than what we're currently projecting. I think PV still adds another defenseman before the season starts. Hagg shouldn't even be penciled in the lineup for opening night. If we add someone and one of the kids out plays Hagg then so be it. Put him on waivers and play the kid. It's not difficult. Losing Hagg wouldn't be a big deal. We should be trying to ice a good defense not a bunch of waiver wire guys. If PV runs a terrible defense next season, I'm not sure I'm willing to give him any more benefit of the doubt. So far, he's acting more like Bob than Yzerman. The Yzerplan so far doesn't seem to be working much in Detroit. They were good in Tampa but I think they lucked out with some of their picks. Let's hope this rebuild gets a move in the right direction.

    I think given the circumstances of an offer sheet I would have to think you would need to come up with comparable value otherwise they would just accept the return on the offer sheet. I'm not saying that we take both Goodrow and Laf but that the value of the trade should be comparable. I'm not sure what Laf is worth but maybe a decent prospect that still has 1st rd value and a second. But I'd have to think new York may want a player back that can play or if they're dead set on getting Tarasenko then picks/ prospect. Would they still be able to sign Tarasenko after they move Laf though? The other thing with offer sheets is the other team may like the $ but not the term so you could theoretically offer sheet guys to longer contracts where the other team doesn't want to commit to the years. Isn't that what happened with Shea Webber? Nashville eventually decided to match but the contract was for high dollars AND term. I think the length of the contract was ultimately the deciding factor and not the dollars. So in the Lafreniere scenario, would we be willing to sign him to say a 7 year contract? So maybe like a 5x7? I don't know. I understand he's young but he really hasn't proven much. It could become a bargain contract or he doesn't grow his game anymore and we become sort of stuck with a bad contract. I mean that would be betting on him getting better. Would we take that risk?

    If I remember correctly our former gm Burkie talked about offer sheets and specifically Penner. What I recall him saying is that it was common to call the team and say 'hey we want to offer sheet this guy. Do you want to work out a trade or we're just going to offer sheet him?' That way it's not a surprise to the team holding the player. It also prevents negative feelings from fostering. The other team doesn't know, but has a good guess, as to what you're offering. And if they're up against the cap you could work out a trade. The Goodrow+ Lafreniere trade mentioned up above is probably a better way of get your guy without having the team be angry with you and retaliate with an offer sheet on your guy later. Something to think about.

    I don't think he's a great comparable but I think of Sergachev in Tampa as a guy who didn't seem like a great player at first but has taken the steps to take over from Hedman. If Drysdale grows in a similar fashion, and he could, I think the Ducks would be really happy with him.

    Happiest day to be a Ducks fan for the last several years!

    I don't think this is my most memorable but Gibson nearly getting in a fight. Restricted for fighting. Whatever. Lol Can't remove the link now.

    I just got back from camping for a few days and I wanted to chime in with my two cents on our FA pickups. Killorn feels like a bad contract waiting to happen. Why not just keep Henrique? Aren't they about the same age yet it seems like Henrique is said as being too old yet we pick up Killorn? I'm not super excited but to all the haters of PV... we ended up getting the second highest paid UFA cap hit. This FA class isn't the greatest but it's not like he's unwilling to spend the money. I'm just disappointed somewhat as to what we spent it on. Gudas seems like a decent pickup. I've seen some put him on the third pairing but at 4 mil per year PV likely sees him as a second pairing guy. I saw some ideas floated around for Dumba on a one year deal for 7 mil. I'd like to see one more impact D get added but if we don't add another I'd be fine as is. At least we didn't resign Shatty. I'm happy about that. Addition by subtraction. Not a bad off season so far. Maybe we're able to make a trade work for The Cat or Willy. That would be great but I'd rather that happen until AFTER we sign Z and Terry to contracts. That way those trades wouldn't make the ask of Z and Terry to go up. What I'm excited about is that we're considered as a possible destination for Debrincat. It's been a while since we've been in talks for any major players. By the way, did anybody see the Klingberg signing? Lol another 1 year deal at just over 4 mil. The guy should have signed with the stars. I mean with Toronto he should be in a much better position but still if he hasn't played like garbage last year he wouldn't be in this spot. Looks like the stars dodged a bullet....

    No way we give them an unprotected 1 st. We're talking about the team that finished last in the league this past season. That first is going to be very valuable no matter what because there's no way we become a playoff team next year.
  24. g20topdogg
    I think I'd vote for McT. He seems like good captain material. I just wonder what the other guys like Z and Terry would think about that. Maybe we just drafted our future captain at #2....
  25. g20topdogg
    That would be really nice if they did go with that jersey.
