I'm really looking forward to this tonight. Doubt there will be any actual storylines heading into RR but it'll still be fun.AUSTIN 3:16 in the house!

Vermette has a limited NMC that lets him veto trades to 8 teams. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Florida teams on there.

Vermette for Point straight up. Get r done, DiPoto.. errr I mean Murray.

Kings vs Ducks games are always must see tv but damn.... Tonight feels like it's going to be game of the year status.

I can't remember seeing someone get cross checked like that while on their knees. Brown took 3 strides after Schultz fell to his knees. Especially since Schultz just came back from concussion like symptoms. Player Safety is something.

Brownie must have some good dirt on Parros. Wow lol.

We're a battered wife. It's all we know. :'(

Nail on the head right here. How some people are content with the rotation and "depth" we have right now blows me away. We need someone that's actually pitched consistently the past few seasons.

So you're essentially saying signing a 31 year old to a 5 year deal is insane but signing a 29 year old to a 7 year deal is cool.

2013 Angels agree

The more I've thought about it the more I'm down to give him a short 3 year/$90-100 deal. The AAV of $33 could be enough to get the deal done. Maybe a 4th year option that kicks in if an innings limit is reached. A 3 year deal doesn't hinder us at all. It'll be done by the time Trout's deal comes through. Pujols will be on his way out too. Doesn't cost us a pick either.

Last night was my first game in person this year. Man... The defense is so bad in person. You really get a look at how truly bad they are. Bieksa with who knows how many pure awful passes in our own zone that lead to 2 goals. TWO! Hampus, Montour, Fowler all looked bad too. How is Hampus getting beat to everything?! He loses so many battles for pucks. He just gets pure out muscled by opponents. He's taken such a step back. Fowler had some really bad shifts too. When I'm praising Manson you know the D overall is bad lol. Like Nate said, Pitt has been on a tear as of late and didn't have their top goalie. It's a great win for the Ducks. Got a lot to clean up still obviously but it's a good start to the home stand.

Anyone catch the Mixed Match Challenge last night? Pretty solid bout between Finn/Sasha and Nakamura/Natalya. Pretty funny hearing Sasha get boo'd for doing "Two Sweet" with Finn lol.

Hoffman is an interesting name. LW/C making $5.1 AAV for this year and 2 more. Can bank on him for 25 goals a season. Probably more if you surround him with talent like Rakell and Getzlaf. Plus, he's only 28 so right in his prime. We have $3.1 to play with right now if I'm reading the capfriendly page correctly. Definitely gotta shed some fat if we make this move happen. Also, factor in Montour, Kase, Ritchie are RFAs after this season so they'll get a bump in pay. Bieksa's $4 comes off but Manson's new contract essentially takes that money's place. Of all the guys on the team I hope its Silf that gets traded. I don't think he's ever going to hit his offensive potential. He's making $3.8 for what he's producing. Would be funny to send him back to his original team lol.

This season's team and their NMC/NTCs NMC- Perry, Getzlaf, Kesler, Bieksa NTC- Eaves, Cogs, Vermette, Miller, Fowler (next season), Manson (in 2 years) So that leaves Henrique, Rakell, Silf, Brown, Ritchie, Kase, Lindholm, Montour that are signed beyond this year with no clauses.

Unfortunately, that's a very small list thanks to GMBM.

Ducks are in such a shitty position now. 4 pts out of a playoff spot and all but I believe 1 team ahead of us has games in hand. SJS has 4! We're also only 8 points from the 3rd pick % in the draft. Like UTH said, if they don't get moving in the next 2 weeks I'd consider selling at the deadline and going for that lottery pick. Defense just doesn't have it. Speed teams are going wild on this ancient system Carlyle has in place. Of course anything can happen but I just don't think this team has what it takes.

You can't be a 2 way player if you don't have any offense in your game, Nate

So what you're saying is I should do him a solid and club him in the knee for his own good.

Yup. Unfortunately Perry's contract is really hindering us from signing that top line winger we desperately need. Eaves' condition didn't help either but obviously that's entirely out of anyone's control. Only 3 more years of Perry tho...

I just can't stand him. I specifically remember a play in the WCF last season where he murdered us on a play that lead to a NSH gwg. That's another story tho lol. Plenty of guys have bad games. Cogs just doesn't do it for me. Too many whiffs when she's wide open and on breakaway chances. He's incredibly overvalued imo. That iron man streak is the biggest reason he's relevant and that's not even that big of a deal. You don't pay 3.25 for a primary defensive FW. It's not going to break our bank and hinder us from other moves but I just simply don't think it's a move that needed to be made. I did like Cogs at one point. Then after he got his extension and took an epic shit offensively that's when I started to dislike him. I fully admit it's irrational hate but my mind is made up lol.

Getting rid of Cogs was the move I was looking forward to the most this offseason. GMBM fucking me raw yet again.

Cogs just got extended 3 more years at 3.25 AAV.... Wtf man.

Trump is essentially a Brita filter.
