  1. Verbeek is familiar with killorn from his time in Tampa but that is just a bad contract
  2. Zucker to AZ was a surprise. One year deal just to get flipped in March
  3. Twitter has been down bad. What’s going on in free agency????
  4. Luke Schenn got 3 x 2.75 from Nashville. Now, I've seen everything. Coming in hot, Trotz Apparently he signed Ryan O'Reilly also
  5. Talbot to the kings. Reaves getting 3 years from Toronto is pretty extravagant
  6. Sounds like soucy to Vancouver and mayfield staying with the Islanders
  7. I’d be shocked if the players didn’t know well in advance of the public announcement that they would be qualified. Plus, I’d figure that Verbeek has already engaged in preliminary talks on extensions or contacted agents so I thinks a total non issue
  8. It's also not as though the Ducks were the only team waited until the deadline got closer before announcing who would or wouldn't be getting them. Seems like most teams did it that way.
  9. You have to tender a QO in order to keep the rights to a restricted free agent or else they can go straight to UFA. Players don't have to sign and Zegras, Terry and Drysdale won't. It was just a formality so that the Ducks can keep their rights while negotiating their next contracts
  10. So what does everyone give the Ducks as a draft grade? I’m going B-/C+ range. That second round really hurt imo
  11. And they were for Drysdale, Terry, Zegras, Dostal which was always going to happen. Groulx even got a QO
  12. Brutal if that’s why the Ducks didn’t draft him
  13. Gaucher has been great for what he is, a defense forward/pest and penalty killer which I’ve said isn’t his problem. He at least has the defensive game game down but is similar to Myatovich (sounds like the winger version of gaucher) in that the Ducks drafted guys with maybe a bottom six upside so high in the draft when way more offensive talent was available. Verbeek better bring in actual legit top-6 forwards from outside the organization because he sure looks like he isn’t trying to draft any, sans Carlsson.
  14. I respect Madden's honesty but the logic behind that pick is terrible. No need to try and feel better about it. Really making Getzlaf's new job as Development Coordinator hard right from the start
  15. Did he call him that? Makes that pick somehow even more unbearable then
  16. Which is what you shouldn’t do at a draft when you are devoid of offensive talent, particularly on the wings.
  17. Tracey at least had 81 points and was ROY in the WHL during his draft year and we were still clamoring for kaliyev lol
  18. Exactly, he’s the Gaucher of this year’s draft.
  19. Verbeek must be very confident that he can develop minimal upside guys into mainstay NHLers. He left so much value on the draft floor imo
  20. Madden works for the Ducks and he lives Montreal, I believe. Sure sounded like in his interview on Duckstream that Getzlaf is a Nashville resident even if he’s got properties elsewhere
  21. In more terrible news, heard that Getzlaf lives in Nashville now. Just another kick in the hacky sacks today.
  22. None of the drafted d-men this year may ever see the NHL at all and are a couple years away at minimum if they do. Fowler will be gone as well other guys traded due to a log jam so I don’t see this draft class creating a problem there imo
