The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

I think the whole point of doing it is to not have a 3rd line. You now basically have 2a, 2b, and 2c. It's a reaction to the playoffs. They don't think Doughty or Keith can play the minutes to cover 3 lines.

I hope so. Would like to see all 3 lines used equally if Perry is going to be on 3rd line but he will probally get alot of power play minutes.

Ducks announced an extension for Simon Despres. 5 year 18.5 million. 3.7 AAV. Love it!

[gotbeer]

Very nice.  Now we need to sign that other defenseman.

[OCAngelsNotLAA]

Looks like we are going to be a cap team for the next few years.  I really wish they would sign Hampus already.  if you know any hot OC chicks send them his way.  If he falls in love with a local it will be easier to sign him to a reasonable long term deal.

Kind of like Getzy.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Lindholm and Vatanen. It's really important that we retain Lindholm in particular.

OT, unfortunate turn of events for James Wisniewski...he tore his ACL :47 seconds into his Hurricane's regular season debut.

[gotbeer]

that sucks for Wis.

We still have insane amounts of cap space available. Especially with some expiring contracts and 1 year deals coming off.

[mrwicked]

what a deal!

for a legit top 4, and potential #2.

at his age.

$3.7m for 5 is insane.

lol@pittsburgh.

what a total robbery of a trade that was.

 

lindholm next please.

Do the ducks ever play this season?

I think they need to give Lindholm an 8 year deal at least.

If they go the RFA route he's going to be worth too much by then.

Vatanen could be replaced with Theodore.

saturday up here vs shizzies.

i am thinking about going.

but might hit up a bar to watch that game and the cal game at the same time.

f*ck the sharks.

[Tank]

Kind of like Getzy.

 

did scioscia steal your account for a few moments?

 

if you're going to call him getzy, then you better say things like "the puck was coming off his stick real well tonight."

I think you mean Ritchie.  Theodore is I believe the Dman.  Along with Noessen.  

[nate]

So is Vatanen

[gotbeer]

Ugg.  I got Vatannen and Rakell mixed up.  Vatannen is probably a trade target now.  We have Theodore, and Montour, and even Holzer at AHL.  Noesson I thought was a Dman but is a forward.  Man, this heat must be getting to my head.

I wonder what they get for Vatanen. Then there is that Larsson kid that could be ready in 2-3 years.

The drafting report on Larsson is he's a clone of Lindholm....maybe a poor mans Lindholm.

He's 24 and a RFA next season.  He's probably worth a good draft pick or 2.

Ducks owners are losing less money, plan to keep franchise in the family

 

 

We are so lucky to have them as owners.  Hopefully the negative cash flow will become a positive soon.

Allow me to queue my best Dexter impression...

 

Tonight's the night...

[nate]

The Samueli's are amazing owners.  Not just because of what they do with the Ducks but all they do for the community and hockey in So Cal.

 

Game day!!!  I can't wait.

[nate]

Just going to leave this here...

Man, those lyrics are deep.  Much better than buttercup.
