Montreal got ripped off. Domi has a hard time putting the puck in the net & supposely is awful defensively too.

So can everyone tell me again how Bob just can’t make trades.

Maybe they'll shock us & Perry ends up on Montreal....followed by Montreal's GM being fired.

Galchenyuk #3 overall.  Last 4 years between 44 and 56 points.  2 years, $4.9 million per left.

Domi #12 overall   52, 38, 45 points.  RFA with I think 3 or 4 years left.

Ritchie #10 overall.  28 and 27 points.  RFA with 4 or 5 years left

Maybe we can give Ritchie and a third round pick to Phoenix for Galcenyuk

Actually not a bad deal.  His save % and GAA hasn't been that bad for the Gulls the last two seasons.  Just hasn't played much.

I do wonder if this is related. That and some cap savings. (PS this story is reason 347,297 why I hate people)

 

According to Francois Gagnon, Galchenyuk's father verbally berated him after every game (apparently journalists were witnesses to this), and Alex was constantly on his phone between periods reading the "feedback" from his dad.

That's toxic.

So Galchenyuk is like Cameron Fry in "Ferris Bueller's Day off" who can't stand up to his dad.

I guess if Cameron was 23 and was making more in a year than his dad did in his entire career.

I meant to post this here yesterday.  I wish they would just go back to using this logo as the primary one.  The D is so generic.  The mask and sticks is iconic and instantly recognizable.  Never made sense to me that they rebranded without it.  These new 3rds should look great.

They'll sell a lot better if nothing else.

The difference is that Nick Ritchie is slow and worthless and will remain slow and worthless.  Domi at least one can pretend is a project. Ritchie is not.  He sucks.   Sad.

Except his dad went to school everyday & Cameron did not, Galchenyuk's dad has been on his case ever since he wrecked the Ferrari.

I didn't know Galchenyuk was Russian for Ball.

Ducks would never pay what he's going to ask for in salary.

Anyway, we have Randy who's also a cup winner. Who could ask for more.

Well, Bob Murray couldn’t. 

[UndertheHalo]

Ruh roh ! Wut could it be !?

(it’s new threads)

@UndertheHalo Yeah saw that.  Everybody says it's the jerseys.  But I did look to see who were centers in 1993.  And it wasn't a good list at all.  Even Rucchin didn't get there till 94.

NHL Rumors: Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and the Top 25 Trade Bait Board

Would love to have Tavares. I imagine the bidding for him will be furious and expensive. Liked Rieder and hope they keep him.

Should The Montreal Canadiens Trade Max Pacioretty Now?

Left handed Dmen on the Ducks.  Lindholm.  Petterson.  Fowler.  Larsson.  Megna.  Mahura.  

Would you do Lindholm for Max?  What if Lindholm's value is just huge.  Could we unload Perry + money also?  Lindholm + Perry + $4 million to cover Perry for the next 3 years for Max.  Financially, that would be $4.625 million for Perry $5.2 million for Lindholm going to the Canadians.  $4 million staying with the Ducks + say $6 million for Max.  ($4.5 million this season).  Net for the Ducks would be a -$3 million and for the Canadians + $5.3.

I would have traded Lindholm for him straight up.  It’s less clear that it’s a good move for the Ducks now.  I consider the Ducks to be in a downtrend.  If I legitimately felt we had cup aspirations I would probably still be open to it.  Reality is that MaxPax is in the final year of his deal and he’s 29.  A Ducks extension means we’ll end up getting his downtrend.  Which would be a terrible hindrance to retooling.  We’re already dealing with Kesler and Perry.  Who knows how long Getzlaf will continue to be effective.  My hope is that his game ages well. We’ll see.  Bottom line, the Ducks need to look at rebuilding.  A few rough years are probably necessary. 

You know my thoughts on Hampuis Lindholm.  I’m not a fan of his game.  I think he’s massivively overrated in Ducksland.  But he is young and he is signed and he is legitimately a top 6 D man.  Top 4 with the right d partner.  So as a straight up deal I think I pass now.  Which I can’t believe I’m saying honestly.

I can't either.  But if it means we can unload Perry in addition, I think it would be worth the risk.
