  1. Robb Quinlan + Ervin Santana = Quintana !
  2. You should check out forums of non-Ducks teams. Mansons value is easily a 1st + B prospect or pick. Foligno a 3rd liner got a 1st from Toronto. David Savard who is worse than Manson, Tampa gave up a 1st, 3rd and 4th to get him. 50% salary retention on Manson should return a 1st + 2nd depending on how high the 1st or 2nd is, in which case it would be a 3rd instead of a 2nd. If they exposed Manson in the expansion draft, Seattle picks him and either trades him for a 1st + or re-signs him. Lindholm would fetch a larger return and they probably only trade him to a team that wants a contract extension window with Lindholm to maximize the return. Rakell its hard to say because of his numbers but a team like Edmonton/Toronto with cap problems might give up a 1st + 3rd for Rakell with 50% salary retention. The Problem is Murray hasn't moved these players as if he thinks the Ducks can make the playoffs.
  3. Flyers were rumored to trade for Manson but not after they got Ristolainen who absolutely horrifying defensively. Well now teams that missed out on Risto will be calling Murray about Manson. Most likely a top 20 pick and prospect and or 2nd.
  4. Are you serious ? Everyone around the league Knows Manson is worth a 1st + prospect. Go to any other NHL's team forum and you'll see that such as hfboards.mandatory.com Manson also was better this year when he was finally healthy, his play was improved over the last 2 seasons. At last seasons trade deadline Dmen who were lesser than Manson went for a nice return. Murray would have been fired if he left Manson unprotected. The problem is leaving Fleury unprotected, when Jones could have been an acceptable loss but they may have a deal with Seattle in regards to Henrique. Its also speculated now that the Ducks have a trade lined up with Deslauriers and he's traded after expansion draft.
  5. Manson/Lindholm/Fowler were locks to be protected. Manson and Lindholm would each get a 1st + 2nd + prospects at the trade deadline which is more than they would get for someone like Steel. Protecting Silf and Des was beyond stupid. Should have gone 4-4-1 and let them take Jones who's only gonna be a 4th liner type in his career.
  6. Something like Manson for Sam Reinhart would give the Ducks a legit top 6 center. Both players are UFA so it'd be a gamble to see if they can re-sign Reinhart. With 50% retention on both Lindholm and Manson they could get a lot at next years trade deadline or this offseason in a trade, assets that would be more valuable than protecting a few extra bottom 6 guys like Steel, Jones and Volkov. Contending teams would give up quality assets if Murray were to trade them. Even Fleury has more value than Steel/Volkov/Jones. Its alot easier to find a bottom 6 forward than a 2nd pair Dman who can eat minutes.
  7. Exposing Manson ? They would trade Manson for picks and prospects before exposing him and letting him go for free, they could have done that at the last trade deadline. At the deadline players like Foligno were returning a 1st round pick, a RHD like Manson would have gotten a 1st + prospects and Lindholm even more. This offseason or at the deadline they could still trade them and get a 1st + prospects for each of them, that is much better assets than what Steel, Jones and Volkov are if they choose to protect 3 extra marginal forwards over 2 Dmen. What a way to run the Ducks into being a bigger joke in the NHL if they were to just hand out Manson and Lindholm to Seattle.
  8. The Ducks are in the best position in the expansion draft and will lose a marginal asset or Henrique who is overpaid and declining. Ducks likely go: 8 skaters and 1 goalie: Manson/Lindholm/Fowler/Fleury/Rakell/Terry/Lundestrom + 1 of Steel, Jones or Volkov. Fleury showed he's he's bigger asset then one of Jones, Steel or Volkov. They will likely lose one of Henrique, Steel, Jones, Volkov, Mahura or Stolarz. Larsson has negative value and Guhle sucks. Steel is the only one I could see having a breakout with Seattle if they were to use him as a Winger and coach him to take more risks offensively instead of that 2way grinder/ face-off specialist that Eakins turned him into. Looking at other teams fans forums I see that there isn't gonna be too much center options for Seattle that will do much in a top6 role and with RNH re signed by Edmonton it makes it more likely that Seattle has interest in Henrique.
  9. If the Skaggs family knows who the other addicts on the Angels are/we're then they may have known of Skaggs addiction before he died. One way or another the Skaggs fam will probably never have good ties with the Angels organization again. It does sound like another of case of "lawsuit to profit off of a dead relative" that you see with other dead celebrities or athletes.
  10. Well it doesn't matter because of who the owner is but for the sake of the poll i voted no. With how old the Angels owner Arte Moreno is getting, he probably wants to go back to the Reagins method of trading away the farm and going all in every year. The only thing i hated about Eppler was he didn't like drafting pitchers that much and waited until 2020 to draft one with a high 1st round pick. Maybe now they'll start drafting pitchers before Trout requests a trade when he's in his 30s. I also didn't like that Eppler wasted the chance to trade Simmons in 2020 and Calhoun in 2019, since it appears Simmons won't be back.
  11. So the Angels will have Barretto, Rengifo and Pujols in their INF next season. Another long season in 2021.
  12. So now the Angels will hire Dumbrowski who will sell the farm system for a barely .500 record 2021 season, then the farm system goes back to be dead last.
  13. If Pujols played til age 60 would he have totally reversed his WAR to negative value ?
  14. They need to find a way to replace the production loss of Simmons, La Stella & Goodwin or add more pitching. On paper the team in 2021 looks like they will be losing alot of games by a score of 2 to 12.
  15. Simmons should return unless they plan on tanking in 2021. If OhShit continues to suck in 2021 and Simmons doesn't return the team is gonna be relying on Trout, Rendon and Fletcher to score all the runs. Maybe Adell has a ROY caliber season idk. The lineup looks like it will have alot of weak links next season with Pujols, Upton, Barretto, Rengifo being terrible and even more if Ohtani doesn't rebound. Rengifo is terrible. Barretto will probably be too.
