The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

[halobob]

You know what a good feeling is?

 

Being in Vegas, going to the sports book, and seeing Ducks -1 1/2  +215.

 

That was a nice $100 bet to get $315 back. 

 

Oh, and then my messages from my Kings friends were the icing on the cake.  And the fact that they hate Perry makes me smile a bit. 

 

And don't shoot me because I jinxed our boys.  But how the hell could I pass up the Ducks +1400 to win the Stanley cup.  Put $20 on them to get $300 back. 

Where are they still +1400?  When I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago PH had them at +1200.  I bet them at +900 to start the year and would love to get some action at +1400.

Westgate had them at +1000, Venetian had them at +1200, Wynn had them at +1400 still as of last night.

TBL want another forward prospect in return for Drouin which the Ducks don't match up with.

Deadline Dealing: Summing Up Anaheim's Moves on Trade Deadline Day

On trading Patrick Maroon to Edmonton

[Edmonton GM Peter Chiarelli] and I have discussed certain types of players for a long time. When we made a couple of moves here today, we had too many forwards here basically, so Patrick was available. I called Peter, and it kind of fits into what he’s trying to add to the organization there, so he moved pretty quickly. This is a good move for Patrick Maroon, and that’s kind of what I was looking for when I did it.

Bovada had them at +1000 as of last night. I put some money down on them. +1400 is by far the best I've heard of for the Ducks. Great bet man !

[Pujols4MVP]

Wow i thought Jackman had passed away or retired. they traded Jackman for something more than a bag of pucks tainted with asbestos. GM of the year.

[Tank]

i won't miss seeing maroon on your roster. 

 

now if you guys could just trade that ahole perry.

[UndertheHalo]

seems like you should be less pumped to see McGinn.  Mostly because he doesn't suck.  

[Tank]

not very familiar with him. will find out next saturday night. hope you're extremely wrong.

[UndertheHalo]

he's not an all star or anything but he's a lot better then Pat Maroon.  Good nose for the net and a strong forechecker.  Can pop some goals in.  He should fit in well with Rakell and Perry.

Favorite thing about McGinn; dude goes to the dirty areas. He's a better skater than Maroon by a mile, too.

This is funny.

Feb. 28 The Panthers are seeking a second-rounder or a package of a third- and forth-round pick from potential suitors for forward Brandon Pirri according to TSN's Gary Lawless. The Devils, Rangers, Oilers and Ducks are all in the running, Lawless reparts.

 

 

Murray does not panic.  He could probably make Derek flinch at poker.

[mrwicked]

i locked them in at +1500 when i was in tahoe for Super Bowl.

right when they started looking like the post-christmas play was legit.

What Do Stats Say About Patrick Maroon?

[HaloCory22]

Getzlaf named 1st star of February.

What Do Stats Say About Patrick Maroon?

Lol and I thought the ducks bloggers were homers. Is dude has quite a flowery outlook.

[mrwicked]

maroon is no loss at all.

great guy, just no spot for him.

mcginn is the same player but with actual finishing skill.

 

i love those moves.

keep chemistry / roster players, don't mortgage future, add depth and options.

 

in the offseson we trade vatanen and freddie,

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I'm guessing once Pirri is healthy, he will be with Getz and Perron. McGinn should slot right in with Perry and Raks.

What is the likelihood of bringing McGinn back next year?

Remember when Chicago won their first cup with Niemi & then they got rid of him ? (but by letting him leave as a free agent).

Chicago won a cup with Niemi & then they let him walk cause they have Crawford & the Ducks have Gibson.

The Ducks could win the cup with Freddie & then get a big return with trading him (some team will overpay).

 

If the Ducks win the Cup this year, they definately need to trade for prospects/picks to reload like Chicago has done.

At that point they build around their core of Getzlaf/Perry/Lindholm/Rakell/Fowler/Kesler/Gibson.

[deepdrive]

Yeah, I'll be surprised if it turns out any other way.

 

Although, if enough was offered for Fowler or maybe even Gibson, I could see things going differently. Unlikely, but possible.

[gotbeer]

I also see a possiblity of keeping Freddie.  That is if a good enough offer isn't made, the double headed dragon isn't a bad way to go.  And Murray hasn't gotten GM of the year by panicking.  So we are really in a good position.

[Oz27]

I'm guessing once Pirri is healthy, he will be with Getz and Perron. McGinn should slot right in with Perry and Raks.

What is the likelihood of bringing McGinn back next year?

Pretty close to zero, I'd guess. We have plenty of key pieces we need to bring back and need the cap room to do it. I imagine we get scoring help by trading a D-Man and Freddie.

i dont think its impossible that McGinn gets retained.  Murray isn't big on rentals.  He's still fairly young and he probably wont cost much more then Maroons 2 million or whatever. I'd say he gets something in the 3 or 3.5 million range.  A lot depends on what happens with our RFA's and of course how well McGinn performs and fits in with the team.

Don't forget.  With the way he is playing.  Perron is making a strong case for being retained also.

yea man, I mean Perron has definitely made an impression.  Word was he was looking for a pretty big deal tho.  We'll see what he's fishing for.  Not trying to be contrarian, but of course the other side here is that the Ducks forward core is largely 30+  we have a smallish window to win a cup... Maybe 2 more years beyond this one IMO. At some point they will need to look at focusing on getting the Kesler/Getzlaf/Perry replacements.  Perron is not old, 27 but if he wants 5 million + those are numbers that would make it difficult for the Ducks to be flexible.  Same deal with McGinn, it just depends what they want.
