    Time for a shake up. Can't understand how an organization has such great talent and they play like a peewee team. Coach has to be the issue. Eakins didn't do anything in Edmonton and was mediocre in san Diego. We need a coaching change and why not now in a shortened season to see if your choice is suitable for the future. 

    Fish rots from the head down Bob is he problem to begin with. Bad trads bad contracts. Erkins was not on the wish list he did nothing in Edmonton with 4 first overall picks. Clean up the front office first!

    Agree that's it's absurd to suggest the Gulls could beat the Ducks and those comments make my head explode too. But given the deficiencies in this roster, I think everyone has to be on the table for the right price if we want this thing to turn around. For example, if Eichel truly wants out of Buffalo, I'd give them Comtois + Steel + and unprotected 1st, and then cry the same amount of tears that I shed when Lupul was traded for Pronger (i.e. zero sad tears, many tears of joy). For me, Zegras is the only player off the table. Everyone else should be in play for the right price.

    Going to the 3rd period twice with 3-0 and loose the game doesn't make your head explode?

    Which Makes the Trade Market very Unpredictable.....Ducks are in this jam due in part of the team being fiscally Conservative but frugal...Ducks do want to trade but with the price tags is BIG Hurdle.

    yes we have a expensive defense and underperformed veterans.

    you say Henrique is a bad contract, it was maybe a mio too much, but look at other teams, every team has some bad contracts...

    for example Buffalo: Okposo (6 Mio and M-NTC) and especially Skinner (9 mio till 2027 and NMC) are very bad contracts...  Skinner's contract is crazy.

    with the expiation of Gibby and Z-Man everyone should be available for a trade. I trust that if the the gulls team come up and play the nhl team they will do better than the upper club.

    IF that is the case then another reason why Bob Murray needs to go.

    There are PLANTY of reasons for BM to GO I trust that someone is reading the fan concerns the arena will open one day and they will call us all if they will not make a change they will feel it.

    Peter Holland (15th) in 2009, Fowler (12th) in 2010, Lindholm (6th) in 2012, Ritchie (10th) in 2014. So four top-15s in GMBM's 10 drafts before the Zegras pick in 2019. Yes, that's harder to get superstars that way. But consider how much better this team would be if GMBM had been able to really develop the potential of some of the good young players his scouting team had identified. Kyle Palmieri (#26, 2009), William Karlsson (#53, 2011), Shea Theodore (#26, 2013), Marcus Pettersson (#38, 2014)... all given away for practically nothing.

    GMBM is also responsible for the assistant coaches. He doesn't let his head coach hire his own assistants. Morrison and Wilford are GMBM hires, and Morrison (who runs our PP) is actually a holdover from the Carlyle days. He's been here since the 2017-18 season.   

    I agree with you about the drafts and the development. I wish to have Shea Theodore he is a stud on the blue line. Morrison is the reason the PP is so "wonderful" he should be gone with BM.

    I know, everbody hoped that the retool is enough. I was always for the total rebuild and I don't see much talent from the kids, there is Comtois, Zegras, Drysdale and then? Terry and Steel who both not can score. Lundestrom looks better after the AHL-Trip. Jones is not a top 6 forward.

    I don't want to be a playoff team, I want to be a contender team and that means, that you have to pick earlier in the draft (as I said, twice in the last 15 years won a team without a top 5 pick), you need at least one elite player. so better make the rebuild.

    we still need some top 6 forwards and top 4 defenders for the future if we want go deep in the post season.

    I could not agree with you more we have NO sniper or unity on the team. It will not happen if BOB MURRY is at the helm. you can put his hockey IQ in a teaspoon and there will be room left. The sad story is we care and he DOES NOT and he gets paid for that.

    I'm relieved that Henrique cleared waivers, but am still angry at BM for risking losing an asset for nothing when he could have traded him at the deadline last year for a good haul.  

    Overall I'm angry at BM for not trading away ANY mid-career players for picks, prospects or other young talent since it became obvious that the Ducks were in rebuilding mode over 2 years ago.   He traded Montour for a 1st rounder 2 years ago and Kase for a 1st rounder, Ritchie for Heinen, Sprong for Djoos last year.  While the Kase move likely has paid off, since he is so injury prone, why are Henrique, Silfverberg, Fowler and Manson ALL still on the roster?  I'm not advocating burning down the roster completely, but given the sad state of this team, at least ONE of those guys should have been traded for a significant return by now.

    Brian Murry has NO hockey sense. Look back what he did in Chicago and got fired. The team has no direction no accountability no emergency I wish the ownership would have ran the club like they ran their pc business they are verry successful there. Go get Jim Rutherford they will be an over night success.

    Aren’t you tired of losing? I know I am. Horrible coach. incompetent GM. NO system in place when will someone wake up and do something about it? So frustrating.

    What I am saying is that it is a factor to those problems. Without definitive leadership, the team lacks direction. That doesn’t only come from the coaches.

    That will only happen when you have a REAL GM not BM there is no accountability or commitment.  

  10. 17 hours ago, Jasoaks said:

    yeah, they seem like very hands-off owners which has it's ups and downs. I'm sure BM loves it haha 

    Let's be honest here. At work if we do not do our job there are consequences to pay its called accountability commitment, our team has NONE OF IT! Fish spoils from the heads down start with Bob. 

  11. BM needs to GO NOW!!!!!  Trible trades bad sinning just like he did in Chicago.  Shattenkirk per Haizy spouse to quarterback the powerplay 0 for 23 Go get Jim Rutherford and see magic happen. The players do not believe in the coach or system trade Ricki, silvie, and see them succeed. The kings are next in line to play us they look hungry this GM is a JOKE!

    So with Addition of Ben Hutton...Ducks Defence Corps will look something like this.

    Lindholm-Manson

    Fowler-ShattenKirk

    Hutton-Curran/Welsinki.

    A Fowler-ShattenKirk Pairing on the Ducks Powerplay could work wonders on our team imho. Signing is big boost for our Ducks and all of us alike.

    Now if BM would surprise us and sign Pietrangelo we have triple towers Buckes and ShattenKirk from the Blues (just kidding it will never happen)

    When you got alot of young guys that are the same age as our Ducks...or were born when our team was 5 years old...yep accountability is not strong considering the Youth that has tendency to be laidback at times.

    I was referring to our current front office. Fish rotten from the heads down I was there at game one in 1993

    More likely Ducks will continue with "Developing Within" Strategy...yep something all Ducks Fans have to deal with.

    Accountability is not the strongest attribute of the club we support.

    You and I and others can agree Ducks and rest of the NHL Teams will play shorten season...Plus they need to find a way to have limit number of fans in the Area too.

    This is a deep draft, someone like Brian Burk will walk away with 4-5 players in the first two rounds and shades about $12M of cup space.
