The Official Anaheim Ducks '13-'14 thread

That would be insane.  I could see giving that up for Kesler but not for a rental.

 

Murray is smarter than that, unless we get picks in return.

Someone on Twitter reporting Palmieri and Etem for Vanek or Kesler. Idk how credible that is.

Yea Im hearing this too.  Way over paid for a rental! pretty dissapointed if this is true

[RawDogginit]

This might be fake but I heard Vanek to Pitt! Im glad if true bc I did not want us to overpay for him

It was a fake

Half hour left, starting to think maybe nothing else will happen.

The Penner deal seems pointless now if they weren't planning on making another deal.

Pretty much what I've heard. RT @ChrisBottaNHL: Ducks never got in on Vanek seriously, confirmed.

They turned Penner into a stay at home D man.  They have depth at wing.  Obviously BB had some issues with him, otherwise he wouldn't have been constantly moved around.

Wow.  Vanek rumored to have been traded.  they don't know to who yet.

 

Gaborik to the Kings.  

 

Thomas to Dallas.

[gotbeer]

Sounds like Vanek to Montreal.  

[nate]

Moulson has been traded too.

[Gavin]

Kesler is staying put.

[nate]

Nick Schultz to Columbus.

[nate]

Sounds like Moulson to Minnesota.

[DB24]

What was the point of trading Penner?!?!

[nate]

Also, spot on:

 

 

Mark Whicker

This perception that Ducks have a hole at wing because Penner's gone is astounding. They can't even get Silfverberg into the lineup.

[gotbeer]

Also, spot on:

 

Or Etem.  Or Selanne.

[gotbeer]

Sounds like Moulson to Minnesota.

 

A feed just said this.

Turns out it was Moulson, 1st and 2d for 47 games of Vanek, a 2d and a prospect...Something ventured, nothing gained for the NYI.

[HaloCory22]

So Ducks stand pat essentially. Expect Palmieri and Maroon to get time with the twins the rest of the season.

[gotbeer]

That's wierd.  a following post.

Habs acquire Thomas Vanek + conditional 5th round pick in 2014 from the Islanders for S. Collberg and a conditional 2nd round pick in 2014.

[nate]

Yep.

 

Kesler was the one I wanted.  He would have been amazing to have.

 

Cap goes up at the end of the season and the Ducks have lots of $ to spend and not many holes to fill.  Could be a fun one.  I think they will look for a big D man and a #2 C.

[mrwicked]

I like the ducks moves.

They didn't need to do much. Got something for future for fasth, and penner wasn't needed (but D is).

I'm cool with this.

We go into the playoffs basically on the horse that got us here - we get passed the first round (and over the snakebite hump from last years debacle) I don't see us stopping until the finals.

^ confirmed already.

 

Either the other GM's didn't want help the Ducks, or Murray screwed up big time.

How did Murray screw up?
