id rather have jumbo joe.

even at 35 he's still way better than kesler and spezza.

can you imagine that 1-2 punch down the middle?

insane.

 

joe > kesler > spezza is my order.

 

i dont think we let go of the 10th. unless the other end includes more pieces.

 

i still vote for 10th+28th for number 1 pick.

I would even throw in one of our 2nds but if we do all that we better sign a center because we wont have many trade chips left.

Say no to Joe. I don't want a Shark on this team. We want to win in the postseason.

[halobob]

No way the Sharks trade us Joe.

Brad Richards isn't a bad option if the price for Kesler is too high...

 

Brad Richards gets buyout from NY Rangers, nets over $20 million

I think this makes him a FA.  He might move to the top of the list, and save the chips for a Dman.

[Thomas]

Rangers fans were counting the seconds until he was bought out. I wouldn't be too eager for him.

[TeemuTrout]

Brad Richards is garbage. I rather stick with what we have (Getzlaf, Bonino, Perreault, Rakell) than sign him.

[HaloCory22]

Newest rumor that is starting to have some life. 

 

"Ducks are packaging 1st rnd pick, d-man for Kesler. Also heard, Silfverberg to Isles for the no. 5 pick flipped for Kesler

[gotbeer]

Report: Kesler only wants to be traded to Penguins or ‘Hawks (Updated)

[gotbeer]

Acutally, the update lists that the Ducks are on the list also.

Kesler said he wants to win

And stop the painful losses in the playoffs....

The Last topic is on Yandle. 

 

"Phoenix is deep along the blue line and Yandle would command a handsome return, but the guess here is that if Yandle is moved it will be for immediate assistance rather than top draft picks. The Coyotes need help down the middle."

 

 

I would try and put a package together for Yandle. Perreault/Rakell + Leblanc + 24th pick + Fistric/Sbisa/Vats/Allen?

 

So they would get 2 centers, a first round pick and a dmen to help replace Yandle... wishful thinking?  In this scenario we would have to trade for a 2C for sure  though

[Thomas]

Chicago is a bit of a different case, given that it does need a second-line center after parting ways with Michal Handzus

 

And before parting ways too...

[Gavin]

Kesler said he wants to win

And stop the painful losses in the playoffs....

Took the Kings to seven games. Kesler could easily change that series. Also our goaltending was a question mark, to say the least, but keep gloating.

Update from Ducks open house posted on Ducks message board:

Player Updates

1) Teemu Selanne‘s jersey will be retired in January.

2) Sheldon Souray will not return due to his injury. Murray said he is “finished.” Probably indicating he will retire.

3) Stephane Robidas status is still in the air. There is so much rehab involved that he may retire as well.

4) John Gibson and Frederik Andersen will be the two main goalies. The only question is who will be number one.

5) Dustin Penner was moved due to inconsistent play and possibly off ice activities.

Team News

6) There will be new jerseys, the current third jersey will be the Ducks home jerseys. The new jersey will be shown at the draft on June 27-28.

7) Murray did try to offer the “farm” up for Ryan Kesler. He said he is looking at other options beside Kesler and Jason Spezza.

Honda Center News

8) There is more money going to be put in the building to make some adjustments to the structure. It appears the 400 level will be getting upgrades.

9) The Wild Wing Statue is going to be moved sometime in the future. (Most likely to be with a Teemu Statue)

Final Word

10) Tim Ryan was not happy about opposing fans occupying the building during the playoffs, but he did say in the past the Ducks had around 7000 season seats sold and this year it is projected to be 12000-13000 this year!

#6, wonder if it will be the orange jersey stadium series jersey?  

 

And if #10 is true, that will be awesome for the Ducks.  

[Spencer]

Love the 3rd jersey. It would be f*cking sick if the stadium series jersey becomes the new 3rd.

[nate]

Losing Souray is a blow.  Not having him this last season definitely hurt the Ducks.

 

Don't think Phoenix trades Yandle in division.

[nate]

Not sounding good for a Spezza/Kesler trade.

[Gavin]

Really? I haven't heard anything that says the Ducks are out of either one of those trade talks. In fact, I read earlier that the Ducks and Hawks were the front runners for Kesler.

[nate]

Kesler only wants to go to the Ducks/Blackhawks.  Vancouver is asking for a lot and it doesn't sound like the Ducks want to pay it.

[Tank]

I hope Kessler stays right where he is. I don't want to see him anywhere near Chicago. Scary.

[HaloCory22]

Look at these sexy beauties.

Just watched the Teemu stuff again.  So awesome.  Also watching the Kings handshake line, really cool what Doughty said to him.  Doughty is the only Kings player I like, dude is a beast.
