The Official 2018-2019 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Also Eaves down to the Gulls for conditioning.  So he's probably up in a week.

[UndertheHalo]

hopefully Murray can get rid of Eaves immediately.  Guy is just worthless. 

Also, Murray is doing all kinds of shit tonight.  See twitter.

Seven and closing.

At least the Ducks are competing in one manner..

[deepdrive]

Hey, look who's back.

I like Grant as a forth line guy. Didn't understand why they let him walk at the price he commanded.

So, was this part of the Pettersson deal ?

[gotbeer]

Damn, the fuckers been busy.

Anaheim acquires Del Zotto from Vancouver; Grant from Pittsburgh

Ok, let's see what he did.

Schenn and a 7th round pick for Michael del Zotto.  Well we all know that Schenn was Murray's but veterans signing this offseason.  More than likely in case 3 of our defensemen were hurt, which they were for  8 games.  No big loss there.  7th round pick, usually is not much, but picks are picks this draft and we should be hording them.  Michael del Zotto, 28 year old defenseman.  Ok, Murray, at least take a chance on like a RFA defenseman.  Especially if you are giving up a pick.  He hovers around a 50 CF and FF.  Oh, and he's $3 million this season to Schenn's $800k.  Michael del Zotto is not the difference on D for this team.  So this IMO alone is a pretty bad trade.  Unless Murray is going to make a much bigger trade in one of our top 4 dmen.  

Next up  Grant.  So we traded Blandisi for Grant.  Blandisi if you don't remember was part of the Rico trade.  24 years old, and didn't get much of a shot under Fatso #2.  But he was scoring 23 points in 27 games with the gulls this season.  And we traded him for Grant.  We all remember grant.  Actually he's a good guy to have on the 4th line.  problem is, we have like 20 players that are good guys to have on the 4th line.  Grant is also 28, so we are getting older.  And he's a UFA.

Overall, the last 3 trades.  It looks like Murray is trying to help other teams get better, and really not doing anything for the Ducks.  I think I'm getting in the fire Murray column now.  We really haven't traded anyone of significance.  But at least trade somewhat for the future.

Here, hold our beer.

[gotbeer]

BTW.  Anyone find it odd, that suddenly a Kesler article that he won't waive his NMC comes out in the midst of Murray going crazy?  I wonder if a trade was in the works.

[deepdrive]

Lol.  "problem is, we have like 20 guys who are good guys to have on the 4th line"

The Bob's speciality.

Bob's... It's like the big boy never left.

I think there's probably 5 trades in the works. Problem is, the other GM's know Bob is going a little crazy right now and they don't want to make a deal unless they can take him.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Doing what Bob always does, constant reshuffling of 4th line guys to make it look like we're taking things seriously and being busy.

[gotbeer]

So what creative way are we going to blow this 2 goal lead?

[gotbeer]

Hey we won one.  Hopefully we will win another before the month is out.  

Fire Carlyle.

I like that you dream big. 

[gotbeer]

Dammit Ducks.  Can't you do anything right?  Either Lose for Hughes or win the cup.  None of this half ass lose 12 in a row than win 2 in a row.

Fire Carlyle

[tennischmp]

If they really want to tank they should be giving Gibson games off 

[gotbeer]

Back on track.  Lose for Hughes!

Fire Carlyle.

[Pujols4MVP]

Another 12 game losing streak is needed. Top 5 pick or bust.

Let Chad Johnson play half the games the rest of the season.

[nate]

I give up.

Took you this long to come to that conclusion?

[gotbeer]

Lol.  6:27 left in the 3rd.  And 12 shots on goal.

 

[Pujols4MVP]

Well we got a great chance at Turcotte in the draft. Speedy top line center with skill.

[UndertheHalo]

Just hang em up boyz.  Get dat draft pick higher. 

[gotbeer]

Silfverberg needs to get healthy.  So we can trade him.  Same with Perry.  And Eaves.
