The Official 2019-2020 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Lol. Murray thinks he's such a deal maker and... well, he's not.

weird rumor.

RUMOR: ANAHEIM RECEIVES TRADE OFFER FOR RYAN GETZLAF

[gotbeer]

Another rumor.  At least this one is grounded in reality.  More of a blog piece than from any sources.  But things do make sense.  And they do bring up that he's 2 years away from UFA.  And makes you wonder if the Ducks were able to get Drysdale at 6, if they would then use Lindholm and Manson to up the offense.

Eyeing Hampus Lindholm as a NY Rangers trade target

[arch stanton]

I do believe the Rangers will get aggressive this off season. They'll feel pressure to strike while Panarin and Zibanajad are peaking and Georgiev is cheap. Their D was a huge letdown for them. If I'm the Ducks I ask for the Carolina pick plus  a Forward prospect

[Pujols4MVP]

Gibson would request a trade if Lindholm and Manson were traded. He'll be facing 60+ shots a night without them. A defense led by Fowler, Gubranson, Djoos, Mahura, Guhle & Larsson is gonna get whipped and wrecked on the ice.

Drysdale's most common NHL compare is Cam Fowler. Why use the #6 on Cam 2.0 when we should be getting a Makar, Hughes, Heiskenin type when drafting a offensive Dman as high as #6 ?

The Forwards are much better in this years draft. Raymond, Perfetti and Rossi are much better talent at #6 all around. I have no clue which one the Ducks like the most.

Raymond a Winger is like if Silf had elite speed & agility, better playmaking and offensive IQ. He has that same quick release hard wrist shot like Silf and the defensive awareness of Silf.

Perfetti a C/LW has an elite shot and high end playmaking ability & IQ, small and average speed but the kid is a late bloomer physically and can improve his speed as he builds better leg muscles.

Rossi a C (possibly moves to the wing) is a elite playmaking guy who plays a hard nose physical game and high end defensive game despite his size, like Perfetti he needs to improve his skating

and as the smallest of the 3, Rossi may end up moving to the wing if he doesn't improve his speed due to being 5'9 and not possessing elite speed like Brayden Point & Tyler Johnson.

Ottawa may end up picking Sanderson with #5 because he's the top LHD and they need that & may use the #5 on need if they are unable to trade down to use it on Sanderson. A Sanderson/Chabot pairing will be dangerous.

I lean towards Raymond & Perfetti because they can shoot the puck really well as well as having high end playmaking IQs.

Rossi would be great but if he moves to the wing they need to have a shoot first center with him because he likes to pass pass pass pass and they already have a winger like that in Terry who passes all day.

[Pujols4MVP]

If Kapanen is worth the #15 pick that Toronto got from Pitt, than Lindholm is worth much more than Carolina pick that is #24.

I'd ask for Kakko or for DeAngelo + #24. I'd expect NYR to say no to that & Bob Murray includes another asset in the deal.

Trading one of the games best 2way shutdown defenders who was drafted #6 for the #24 is a massively bad deal.

With Kakko they would have the trigger man for Zegras. With DeAngelo they'd finally have a real Offensive Dman who is also a RHD and use the #24 on Peterka/Reichel/Wallinder/Grans or something.

Lol.

The Bruins should have never put Nick Ritchie in a situation to cost the team

 

 

[arch stanton]

That's some first class chickenshit there. Their Cup hopes left with Rask anyway

[deepdrive]

Nick Ritchie costing his team a game with stupid fouls. How could they have ever known this could happen. 

Oh, that's right, they could have read some Ducks' fan sites. 

Wouldn't it be nice if some day a GM was fired because the fans knew a players strengths/weaknesses/value better than he or his scouts did and he didn't check what they were saying because of his ego.

MAPLE LEAFS BEING LINKED TO HUGE TRADE WITH NEW JERSEY OR ANAHEIM

And BTW.  the Maple Leafs pick is #15.  And most of the mock drafts have the Ducks picking Drysdale.  Who is a RD that can be point.  So that makes Manson very expendable.  

[arch stanton]

It wouldn’t be an off season without the Ducks trading away a Dman. I’ve convinced myself that the Avs are going to trade Grubauer, a Dman like Zadorov, and maybe something else for Andersen and Nylander. I’m holding firm until proven wrong
