Thread: Total Overhaul

The only incentive ANA has to trade Zegras is if we land yet another at or near NHL ready LHC in the draft (Celebrini or Lindstrom).

It makes absolutely no sense to then flip Zegras for another LHC

Thread: Solid Down the Middle

That ANA trade is 4 scrubs with no value, negative value Jarry, and a 2nd for Gibson, while ANA retains $10M of his salary. Please tell me you didn’t actually think this was serious 😂

Thread: DeMelo and Levshunov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>The difference is that Killorn and Gudas weren’t close to the top of their free agent class. Demelo is arguable a top 3 available player at a position that most teams in the league need.

Mark my words, Demelo isn’t going to a bottom feeder like Anaheim.</div></div>

That’s reasonably fair to assume. I don’t think your perspective is outrageous in any way, maybe just the confidence you have behind it without anything concrete from the player.

Look where Gaudreau signed when he had his pick of the litter. There’s more that goes into these decisions than just playing for the best available team 100% of the time. It’s not unreasonable that a 31 year old might be interested in choosing a nice place to live with a warm climate to settle down with his family. Especially somewhere with ample cap space to give him a pay day, where he can play the role of a leader for a team expected to be on the rise.

Not saying ANA is happening, or even likely. Just that maybe it’s not as clear cut as you make it out to be 🤷‍♂️

Thread: DeMelo and Levshunov

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>Demelo isn’t signing with a bottom feeder like Anaheim when he’ll be 31 and one of the top right handed defenders on the market. He’ll be looking for a contender and they’ll be enough interested in him that he’ll get a good offer</div></div>

You could’ve assumed Killorn or Gudas would’ve wanted the same. Pretty hard to say that with any confidence unless the player has said so themselves.

While ANA won’t be contending for playoffs next year, their young talent pool looks pretty promising for the last 3 years the suggested 5 year deal for him here

Thread: DeMelo and Levshunov

16 would be an awesome spot to trade up to. Feels like someone solid should fall there. 12 spots are very likely gone (in no particular order), including:

Celebrini
Lev
Lind
Parekh
Buim
Demidov
Eiserman
Iginla
Catton
Dickinson
Yakemchuk
Silayev

That still leaves your entire list above plus some other interesting players with only 3 picks before #16OA. Very real chance there’s a Helenius or Brandsegg-Nygard caliber player available there. Maybe even a Catton if the undersized Caufield effect scares away a few extra teams

Thread: Marner Staying

I actually got a chuckle out of that Zegras trade. I honestly think I wouldn’t trade a 3rd for those two players right now. No room in the top 9 for Robo at full health, and Lilj is not at all our answer at RD. You guys know that, which is why he’s been offered up in virtually every TOR ACGM

Thread: The End of the core 4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>His cap hit is 2.4 and he's got significantly better defensive analytics than Lundestrom. He's tough to play against as well. There's a reason he got that contract to get a bottom 6 role. Yeah, probably overly rich contract, but not by that much. He's a viable bottom 6 upgrade.</div></div>

That’s well put. I don’t personally think the money should be spent on a 4C with term right now though. We aren’t going to be pushing for the cup to make it worthwhile, so I’d personally rather see the spot be filled either more affordable or more strategically (like giving Gaucher a look). But see your point at least. If it had 1 less year on it that’d be more palatable as well

Thread: going back to Cali

ANA wants neither if those players for anything. Let alone giving up Vatrano or our 1st

Thread: Top 6 upgrade options

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>You don't think 99 assists in 210 games a year younger than DeBrincat indicates a play driver?

Zegras has a PPG of 0.73 despite having to include this injury-riddled season in his stats. Whatever are you talking about?</div></div>

To be fair, he’s talking about this past season specifically. We Ducks fans know he was playing injured for all but the last 10 games of it (and was then a point-per-game center) but we probably can’t expect fans of other teams to have been watching the Ducks and know that. It’s hard enough for us to watch our on-ice product let alone someone who isn’t a fan on the East coast who’d be staying up until after midnight to finish a Ducks game 🤮

Well give you Lundestrom for that

Thread: The End of the core 4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I'm sure several other Anaheim fans will come on here not wanting Kampf, but I'm interested in him. Yeah, Toronto can't afford his services, but the Ducks can.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>It’s an upgrade over Lundestrom and could be a fine 4th liner.</div></div>

Can I ask why? He’s 100% not a 3C, and $2.9M over 3 years for a 4C just seems silly. We can afford him, but I don’t think we should. Especially that third and final year hitting when every ELC we have will be on a contract

Thread: Invisible trade

Definitely keeping Gaucher

Forum: Armchair-GMYesterday at 3:29 p.m.

Thread: Top 6 upgrade options

Fully agree OP. I don’t see WAS and ANA trading because I think Leonard will be a must for ANA to make Z available, and I don’t think WAS will be willing to move Leonard for pretty much anything right now. Both totally understandable, both will need to look elsewhere to fill the holes in their lineups

Thread: Flyers 2024-25

Ducks need players, not picks. They want to compete, not hit restart on a rebuild they’ve been in for years

Thread: Could this be a fit

TOR: Hey rebuilding club, we’d like one of your most promising young, core pieces. In return will give you a pending UFA. This is toootally in your best interest 😂

This. Feels like a settle for every one of these guys. Also, let Grouxl walk

Thread: Ducks

Pass on every single UFA there.

Totally okay with trading Lacombe. This isn’t a return to make it worthwhile

Thread: moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Lmfao he was a ppg player for 8 games. That’s reaching AF but yeah do keep him bc you’d be brain dead to think he gets you Leonard</div></div>

It’s his only sample size without injury this season, so yeah. And 10% of the season isn’t totally irrelevant. Not enough? Take a look at the last 2 seasons where he put up 60+ points back-to-back. Pretending he’s a 15 point player is the outlier.

You won’t see a single ANA fan posting Zegras trades for a reason, I’m not the one pushing this. I’m just saying what it’d take since one of your hometown boys proposed acquiring him. I very clearly said if he isnt worth Leonard to you that’s alllll good. We’re more than happy with him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Zegras had 15 points this year. Keep him. Lmfao Leonard gtfoh. I’d hesitate to give Cristall in the trade

Also 17oa isn’t “late”</div></div>

Zegras was injured, lol. started the season with the same ailment that kept Couture out all year. When he rested it while recovering from the broken ankle he returned to form as a point per Game Center to end the year. Thank you, we will glaaaadly keep him

Zero interest in Timmins. Maybe someone else will take him though

No Leonard no Zegras. If that’s a ‘no’, totally fair. We have zero reason to be trading him, and we love him here

Ducks have zero interest in Kampf. Maybe SJ will eat the salary

Leonard is a must to even talk Zegras. If your response to that is ‘no way’, that’s totally all good. ANA has zero incentive to trade him and we love him here

With this Toronto meltdown it thankfully isn’t. The Marner panic has been pretty team agnostic

I feel like MTL will be our bane until Z gets a long term deal though

Thread: Necas to DET

Ducks fan here trying to be neutral. I couldn’t imagine DET having any willingness to give Danielson for Necas. And that’s 1 for 1, let alone this. I think you’re going to have to lower the expectation, but maybe I’m wrong 🤷‍♂️
