Where to even start...

I know I haven't been here in years but man. Fuck cancer.

Many of the OGs will remember the thread but my first thought after reading some of the replies here is ... Please let this be yet another infamous "A-hole actions of IEBruin" moment and he's hustling us here. Lou, I am so sorry this happened to you. We only got to meet once but years and years of banter on here. Everyone is going to miss you. There's only 1 IEBruin.

Has LF been reinforced to support the extra weight? 

**** cops. Damn scum.

Rachel McAdams not even in the top 100 makes this list a failure.

and you can count... on me waiting for you in the parking lot!

The Ducks are putting themselves in a solid position for the draft. We're due for some luck. If we can somehow get the #1 pick and get Lafreniere that would be huge. Zegras looks like the real deal. He actually looks like an elite talent. Steel, Terry, Jones, Comtois are all very talented guys and I think in the next year or 2 they'll significantly improve. None of them are elite level talents to lead the next gen like Getzlaf and Perry were. Zegras and Lafreniere could be those guys. Elite level guys that have impact right away when they hit the NHL. Not just rookies getting their feet wet. That's been the Ducks biggest problem. None of our rookies are true impact guys right from day 1. Not to say they won't be eventually.
 
If I'm GMBM I completely sell off at the deadline. Commit fully to the re-build for the rest of this season and next. Trade Henrique, Silf, Fowler, Manson. Silf's stock won't be higher than it is right now. Some say he could net a 1st rounder. Dumping those contracts frees up a lot of money we can use to sign key pieces in free agency. Mix that in with draft picks acquired and player progress. We'll be in a good spot. At least the Eakins Ducks are more entertaining to watch than the Carlyle Ducks. 

Definitely still need to sign or trade for another arm. I wanted Alex Wood as a buy low guy that has solid potential and is still young. However, that's not necessarily the impact arm. There are a lot of arms in our system Suarez, Pena, Barria, Peters, etc. Doesn't mean any of them are worth a damn. If our current projected rotation of Ohtani, Heaney, Canning, Teheran, Bundy gets hurt we're in the exact same position as 2019 by filling the injured spots with turds.

It's probably not the popular opinion around here, and I do really like Simmons, but I would rather save whatever salary we would be paying him for higher upside pitching.

We're done with your mom

Damn.  A @HaloCory22 sighting.  It's been a while, hope all is good.

I bet Eppler feels really dumb for getting Stassi now.

No one has called him cheap. He's just full of shit.

Yeah hopefully we can go from one of the bottom 5 staffs in baseball to one of the bottom 10.

This is it. If you’re already offering that much, how do you come up short to a team with better pitching and a better overall team? We had the need and offered less. Incomprehensible. 

It was always going to be dumb money. Arte clearly wasn't willing to do "whatever it takes" and at this point I'm convinced he never will be. All talk.

The potential for this happening makes me want him more.

What evidence is there that he'll get better in his 30s? His wRC+ hovers right at 100. Literally average. Defense has been down this year (granted might be due to the ankle injury) compared to years past. With Rengifo and Fletcher along with the guy we drafted this year we have options. Much cheaper options that we can put money towards a true need in starting pitching. Simmons could be put to good use with that one more year on the contract.

We'd get some epic action shots from his drone too.

The potential for this happening makes me want him more.
