The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

He disappears for long stretches of the season.

[OCAngelsNotLAA]

I like Palms but he does disappear for stretches of the season.  I just don't see him as part of the future plans for the Ducks so I would trade him this off season instead of letting him walk for nothing during  his UFA next year.

yeah, the IR.

He is a RFA next year.

Paul MacLean will join the Ducks as an assistant coach.  Huge get, he was coach of the year in 2013.  He also has the best throwback stache outside of George Parros.

[HaloCory22]

Dallas Eakins (former Oilers HC) hired as San Diego Gulls head coach.

I liked him as a player.  He got screwed by the idiots in charge of Edmonton.

Anaheim Ducks 2015 Draft Strategy Part Two

[gotbeer]

In a deep NHL draft, expect Connor McDavid to lead the way

 

I found this blurb in the article interesting.  

 

 

"The first half of the first round is also very good. I don't know if the rest of the first and the second is as outstanding as some say. But there's definitely depth well into the third round. It'll be interesting for us."

 

 

Now, looking at the above link from puck daddy about draft strategy.  It would not surprise me one bit, if the Ducks traded the first round pick, maybe include a player in a trade for someone else's player and a second round pick.  Then with the Second Round pick, they pick the best available goalie.

With Lucic in LA, they won't be able to keep Sekera.  Git r done Murray!

[gotbeer]

Yeah, I didn't get that move.  I would have tried to keep sekera and used the #1 to stay young.

[gotbeer]

Man, I'm more interested in the NHL draft than the MLB draft.  And yet these players probably still have 1-3 years before they hit the bigs.   I love trade porn, wish the MLB would do it like all other sports.

[gotbeer]

Interesting.  Goalie taken in the first round.  3-4 years away from the big club.  Not sure i like that pick for the Caps.

[gotbeer]

The guy that was projected to the Ducks just got taken by Vancouver.  

[gotbeer]

Ducks are on deck.

Ducks are on the clock.

Jacob Larsson.  

 

 

4. Jacob Larsson, Frolunda Jr. (SWE-JR): In 30 games with Frolunda's team in the Swedish junior league he had eight goals and 19 points; in 20 games for Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League he had one goal and three points. The 6-2, 191-pound left-handed shot, No. 3 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of European skaters, is a good, mobile skater who reads the game well and is effective with the puck. "He will be even better when he gets more physical strength," NHL Director of European scouting Goran Stubb said.

Type of player: Two-way defenseman

27) Anaheim Ducks

Jacob Larsson, Defenseman

NHL Central Scouting final ranking (European): 3

2014-15: Frolunda Jr. (SWE-JR.); 30 games, 8-11-19

Summary: Larsson (6-foot-2, 191 pounds), a two-way defenseman, is a good, mobile skater who reads the game well and is effective with the puck. He is smart on the transition and has the ability to lead the offensive attack. He models his game after Arizona Coyotesdefenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

You guys love the swedes

[nate]

Murray loves his slick skating D men.  Seems like a good pick to me!

[gotbeer]

The guys on the radio are talking up Murray's past picks and just loading up the Ducks farm.  Said it's a solid pick.  

[gotbeer]

Palms traded.

[gotbeer]

Palms traded to NJ for picks it sounds like.
