Jesus, more dumpster diving.  Rowney and Gibbons.

I get that we need to sign Gibson, Kase and Henrique.  But some of these guys are a fu*cking joke.  Who knows what the hell is going on. 

Im slightly interested in the Swedish kid we signed yesterday.  I guess he led the Swedish league in scoring.  But his prior stint (20-25 games) in the NHL was extremely bad.  We’ll see.

Rowney got a three year contract worth 3.4m.  How in the fuck?

Oh my god are you serious ? I at least get Gibbons, guy is fast.  Decent PK player.  I have no idea what the interest in Rowney is.  Dude Facking sucks. 

[nate]

Rowney is quick, but paying him $1m a year is a stretch, and for three fucking years?

Basically all the moves today are bottom six and depth moves, but how are these guys better than the scrubs in SD?

[Pujols4MVP]

Seriously Jones & Kassila would have been better to be on the 4th line than Gibbons & Rowney.

Bob Murray signs players off of LetGo.com & Craiglist.

This has been so Facking underwhelming so far. Unfortunately, when you have guys like Perry and Kesler clogging up the payroll it's hard to make moves. Especially with how much guys are getting right now in Free Agency. All of these moves so far have been non factor moves. Meanwhile, every other team is getting stronger. Hate to say it, gents, but the window is officially closed on the Getzlaf era. GMBM is a huge reason for this.

[Pujols4MVP]

If Murray's solution is to sign ECHL caliber players, he needs to be fired ASAP & promote Madden to GM.

Carter Rowney

2 seasons with the Penguins

Total of 71 GP, 12 points, -11.  Corsi and Fenwick last season of 46/46.2 and 49.2/49.9 before that.

28 years old.  3 years, $1.33 million a year.

Ritchie must approve of this signing.  

 

Brian Gibbons was given a 1 year contract for $1 million

29 YO.  At least last season in 59 games, he had 26 points.  No defense though with a 44/45.1 Corsi Fenwick.  

 

Both have to be minor league depth right?  Because if they are on the opening day roster, we are fucked.

[gotbeer]

Looks like we also added Street.

29 year old centerman 5 NHL seasons, for a total of 35 games should be all you need to know.  

[UndertheHalo]

Gibbons is an ok get I think.  

[UndertheHalo]

I don’t get why you give Rowney 3 years for 1.1 million but walk JT Brown who just signed for 1 year with Minnesota for 750K.  How is the Rowney deal better  !?!?!

Murray doesn’t make sense a lot.

I would have rather waived the white flag for the upcoming season and filled our lineup with our own prospects instead of signing any of these guys.

This is some Duck fan nobody but the tweet made me laugh.

I heard the Ducks are in on Erik Karlsson. I'd include Lindholm in the trade only if there is a window to sign Karlsson(Trade cancelled if he doesn't sign) or Karlsson is signed pre-trade. This opens up a future LHD spot for Mahura.

LD/RD 1: Fowler/Karlsson

LD/RD 2: Larsson/Manson

LD/RD 3: Petterson/Montour

Or do they trade to acquire another LHD so Larsson isn't on the 2nd pairing ?

If he had (NHL elite) hands than you'd be paying him a lot more than 3 and change a season and couldn't afford him. I keep reminding myself that watching Trevor Lewis on the break. It helps with the pain.

I swear Murray, Carlyle & Scioscia go fishing & golf together. Murray brings the Irish Whiskey, Scioscia brings Lasagna, Carlyle brings the Donuts.

If Murray somehow manages to land Karlsson, I’ll be happy to eat my words and be wrong about him.

If he ends up here, it will because he (or his wife!!!) wants the SoCal life and the Kings extended DD so they don’t have the cap space.

Longshot, but it’s all we have.

& possibly the idea of having fellow Swede Lindholm as his D partner interests him as Karlsson could just pinch the whole time he is on the ice with Lindholm backing him up incase there is a turnover but on the powerplay he could play with Fowler & they just fly all over the ice causing havoc for opposing teams. Also Silf & Rakell fellow swedes.

Looking at it more, i'd think Montour goes if Karlsson is coming, he's a RHD & Karlsson is a RHD. Trading Lindholm for Karlsson would open a hole at LHD & Larsson is too inexperienced to play in 2nd pair.

[UndertheHalo]

Bob is definitely working overtime on making the Ducks faster.
