^ Getzlaf is the same age as me, had my hair sorta like that back in the day.

It'd be funny if Pontius Aberg pilate ever gets to play for the NJ Devils, what are the odds he has a Hat Trick on the last game before Christmas ?

@UndertheHalo  Dammit.  You should have waited till Christmas before giving us such a gift.

You’re right but I was too excited.  It couldn’t wait.

5 hours left on the Nylander watch.  Get er done Murray.

Fire Carlyle.

[UndertheHalo]

It will be amazing if they don’t trade or sign him.

7 minutes till the clock strikes midnight.  Haven't seen anything that he's signed or traded.  Weird.  You would think the Twitheads would be abuzz right now.

[gotbeer]

Wait, now it looks like the deadline is 5 ET?  I thought it was 3 ET.  Hmm...

25 more minutes.

Dammit.  Ok, maybe he will still be traded.

Lindholm appears to be very good on producing in the PP & in Overtime situations. Even if his zone entries aren't Fowler tier, points just happen.

He's had to step up his passing since Fowler got hurt. Putting pressure on him seems to have helped him.

[Pujols4MVP]

As i typed that, Lindholm just got his 2nd PP point of the game.

This is what happens when Carlyle trusts him on the offense more.

[Pujols4MVP]

Woah Pontius Aberg is the Anaheim Ducks leading goal scorer with 9, in his 2 goal game in what could be the game winner.

Lindholm bullied Tom Wilson lmao.

Bob Billy Beane Murray found some gold in the bargin bin for once.

[gotbeer]

Who the F do the Ducks think they are?  Coming back from a 4 goal deficit.  It's like we are in bizzarro world where a reality show celebrity is president.

Ryan Kesler: 6 points in 26 games.

Kesler has a worse contract than Perry, Perry is on LTIR & insurance covers 80% of that i recently read. Then add in that Kesler has an extra year remaining on his contract.

So all Perry needs to do once he's back is get hurt again & when its clear he's finished, a salary floor team will be open to acquiring him since insurance will cover 80% of it but their will still be a cap hit so it helps them reach the salary floor.

Even more concern about Kesler.  -11 on the plus minus.  For a defensive minded forward, that's a huge number.

Eklund.  So take it with a grain of salt since he's never right.  But hopefully he is for once.

On Jakob Silfverberg...

One of the most under-publicized available players out there is Jakob Silfverberg... Silfverberg is going to be perhaps the belle of the ball at this year's deadline, and a few teams are already talking to Anaheim...Florida LOVES this kid, Montreal has held several closed door discussions regarding Jake, and don't count out Rutherford in Pittsburgh.. Could a Kessel/Silfverberg swap happen?

The Avs might be looking for a second line RW who can put the puck in the net by that time. Maybe they could offer up Shane Bowers

I was reading that the Ducks are going to try hard to keep Silfverberg.  The last 4 games makes me think that I don’t  know what to think of the Ducks.  Strange game yesterday, power play was effective.  They only had the 25 SOG.  Anyway, great road trip.

I think Silfverberg at $3-4 million would be great to keep.  But if we are talking about $5-6 million.  We need to trade him and get something for him.  

As a comporable, I think James Neal is there.  He's around a mid 40's point.  Although he has a upside that can go north of that.  Also can go south of that.  He just inked a $5.75 a season contract this offseason.

lol this team.

Credit where credit is due.  I like this move.  The Ducks have a glut of puck moving d men and they traded one for a nice forward prospect.  Hopefully Sprong pans out.  I don’t know a ton about him but from what I understand he’s a pretty well regarded forward prospect.  Top 6 wing upside.  A lot of skill.  

We’ll see how it goes. 

[mrwicked]

Yeah I'm cool with this trade.
