    Daym...

    4th from the bottom is piddle poor.

    Team has been bad for 7 years, fans will be back when the team is good, if anything I might put some pressure on Verbeek to get this team to start winning

    DTS mentioned it in a different thread (the Zegras one?) that we have all the pieces in the world to get a lot of people and cap space to boot. Z? Tradeable. McT? Yes sir. Bunch of picks? Absolutely.

    Problem is, Verbeek wouldn't trade his picks if his life depended on it. Also, would EP fit the so-called 'team blueprint'? Age-wise etc etc.

    I think Vancouver is trying to win, so when I look at the Tkachuk deal

    Huberdeau coming off a season with the most assists ever? Or something like that 

    Weegar 

    1st lottery protected 

    Prospect

     

    conversation starts and ends with at least one of Zegras or McTavish 

    but what else that really makes sense for Vancouver’s window? I think the Ducks could package prospects for sure, but I don’t know if that’s what they want

    I was being sarcastic.  Traded an excellent defenseman for very little return.

    It’s a good example just how much of a shot in the dark a late first round pick is and why i want Verbeek to flip that pick or target young nhl ready players instead

    Why do you guys want Kakko? He is simply not good + he has some health problems not related to his injuries history.

    His “not good” is a solid two way 30-40 pt player. I’ll take that floor and bet on the ceiling. Hes far more of a sure thing than whatever late 1st round pick we get.

    There's always bottom six guys in free agency and actually if Vatrano isn't moved then you have Vatrano-Lundestrom-Strome as a third line. You have Johnston-McGinn as wings for a fourth line or Johnston is the 13th forward. Heck you can bring up Nesterenko to be the 4th line C. The Ducks have options and we still don't know what return Henrique will bring.

    So if you package Henrique + Jones <----> NYR 2nd + Kakko (I doubt you get a 1st) + a late round pick (maybe even a prospect) maybe Kakko slots into the top 6 RW.

    I would absolutely target Kakko and would like to see Verbeek target guys in that age range of nhl ready guys over picks to be honest

    Lundestrom to me is much more competitive and has more skill than Leason or Groulx. He's also on the PK. Leason and Groulx haven't done much to solidify a spot in the line-up. Not that I want Johnston but evidently the coach does. 

    Jones always has injury problems and when he's out, it's like ok we didn't even know he was gone. McGinn also has another year on his contract.

    When guys aren't working out or need a change of scenery why keep them if you can make a trade?

    I’m more in agreeable than not. I just don’t know how realistic it is to completely replace your entire bottom six. I think Jones and Lundestrom have probably been good enough to bring back, but also not so good that I would be sad if they did not 

  7. I don’t know about ALL of the RFA’s but I do think the Ducks need to rework their entire bottom six almost. I think Max Jones has earned a spot or at least another look. I think Leason had a strong start to the year, but I’m not really all that sold on him. Groulx has had really strong moments, but again he’s not really stayed in the line up consistently. I feel like the Ducks top 6 is relatively set.  
    Zegras - Carlsson - Gauthier 

    Killorn - McTavish - Terry 

    I’m not sold on Lundestrom, 

    Johnston has TWO MORE YEARS which makes me depressed 

    you have Strome 

    maybe you keep Vatrano, but I really don’t think they should. 

  8. Henrique 50% retained to Colorado/NYR for 1st round pick 

    Lyubushkin to Toronto for a 4th round pick 

    Sam Carrick to someone for a 3rd/4th 

    I think we see one or two of the RFA’s get moved as well 

    I really want Vatrano to be traded. You should easily get 1st round +, he scores, he kills penalties, plays tough, can play anywhere in your line up and has an extra year at a really affordable price.
