The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Bozak would be a nice get.  At 29 though he is at his peak but he would fill a need.

[Pujols4MVP]

If a team was willing to take Stoner Would u be willing to get a less return on Andersen ? They give up Andersen, shed Stoner's contract which ends in 2018 & gain prospect/picks but not as much if they didn't include Stoner.

This is money saved used to keep Perron/Lindholm & they could still trade Vatanen for a top6 forward.

No way we can trade Anderson right now...Gibby is too injury prone.

Offseason more likely.  While I think Gibson is going to be great.  I just don't trust him to stay healthy and then have to rely on Dobin.  Let Gibson and Andersen share it.  If Andersen goes nails, it can only help his value.

Yeah, I would hold onto Freddie until draft time. 

 

This 4:00 PM start time is weird today. Throwing me off. 

[mrwicked]

I don't mind stoner.

He was one of our bright spots in last years playoffs (beachemin was the pylon)

If stoner was just paid a little less no one would have an issue with him.

Stoner for two more years at $2m or $2.25m is totally acceptable. The problem is just his $3.4m hit. Luckily it's only a couple more years. We can trade him or Bieksa in offseason.

[gotbeer]

There was an article about Stoner.  Can't find it for the life of me.  But it was talking about how Vatanen has gone kind of cold since Stoner went on the IR.  They were accounting it to Vatanen would take more chances in the offensive zone since he knew Stoner would have his back.  So while Stoner won't wow you with offensive numbers.  He really isn't a pylon anymore on the defensive side this season. 

[nate]

Stoner played well this season when he was in.  Honestly the D has been strong.  Cam has been pretty bad but the rest of them have been fine.  Bieksa has been crazy impressive compared to the start of the season.  Lindholm of course is a star and Manson has been so great on the line with him.

[gotbeer]

Boys look good so far.  Nothing to show for it.

 

Bennett is going to get it soon. 

[gotbeer]

Marroon!!!!  That was a goal scorers goal.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Nice win. I was worried it would be a trap game coming home after the long road trip.

Beautiful game from Kesler.

[gotbeer]

Pittsburgh is our trade bitch.

 

Calgary is just our points bitch. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Getzlaf with another goal tonight, he's got 9 now on the season and 48 points. Great production from him after such a horrendous start.

[Pujols4MVP]

OK now can they offer that 8 year contract to Lindholm ? In addition to the 2 power play assists tonight he has 3 power play goals this month.

What happend to Fowler's shooting ? Has less goals than Bieksa now.

[UndertheHalo]

Great win tonight. Bozak would be a solid get, I still think they should also take a serious look at his team mate Nazem Kadri. This is a high skill guy that plays a tough game and is still young. He would fit in here and he's potentially available for an affordable price.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Rumor has it the Ducks are in the mix for Dale Weise

[gotbeer]

Don't know much about Weise.  But not sure how much of an upgrade he is to what we already have.  Looking at his stats, loos like more of his success is at the AHL level.  And he's an UFA after the season.

fewer

 

Bieksa has really come on since Christmas, it is like everything clicked for him.  Kesler was a monster today.  Maroon really stepping it up lately too.  Noticed Cam struggle some, especially clearing the defensive zone.

 

Thompson is another guy that has been unheralded, he has been lights out in the faceoff circle and does a good job on the forecheck.  If that fourth line had any scorers I think he would be racking up the assists.  This team is reall rolling right now.

bieksa looks like a totally different player.

what a turnaround.

love that deal now. man he was hard to watching in the first month or two (along with everyone else).

[UndertheHalo]

Thompson has been really great.  I dismissed his impact over zealously earlier this season i'll admit.

[Gavin]

Game was a blast. The Ducks have scored 33 goals in their last eight games ; talk about en fuego. Can't wait for the two bottom dwellers to come to town (part of the reason is to see McJesus and Eichel in person).

[HaloCory22]

What a turnaround this team has made. Rakell has been the spark plug to this turn around. So great to see him break out and lead this team.

[nate]

Agree, Rakell has been amazing.

 

Murray's trades have been good too.  Perron plays very well with Getz and Garbutt fits that fourth line very well.

[halobob]

Going to the Honda Center expecting the Ducks to dominate, and then watching them dominate is such a joy.  I can't wait for the playoffs!!!

Ducks Looking For Scoring Forward

Blogger for the Sabres.  He thinks a deal with the Sabres is going to happen, with Fowler being the prize.  But not sure I like who he listed as what we would get.  I don't think Murray would deal Fowler for a rental.
