Speculation: 2017-2018 Trade Rumors Thread

[Dr Johnny Fever]

This sounds like Fox news "somebody said ...".

I'm pretty sure you will find a player who does not like the coach on every team.

I’m willing to bet there’s more to it than that.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Look at Shea as the first man to leave the zone. Gallant must be a terrible coach if he's letting his defensemen lead the rush like that. Thank god we have Randy keeping all our defenseman stationary!

Good thing we just HAD to not deal with the Bieksa problem and lost a really talented player as a result...must be nice to have a coach that let's his players play to their strengths

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Yep. While none of us can say the Henrique for Vatanen deal was on the table pre expansion draft, giving up Theodore because we gave Bieksa a NMC is not one of Bobs finest moves.

Anheim also would've had more leverage if he had bought him out. Then you only have to expose one of vatanen or Manson and you're no longer held by the balls by vegas

 

[Masch78]

It was Monty or Theo. We would not play both.

 

[Paul4587]

Ones a LD the other is a RD so they weren’t competing for a spot. We played both in last years playoffs. There’s no rule against having too many puck movers. I completely disagree that we wouldn’t have played both.

 

[Kalv]

Theo now has a better support than he would have had here - in that I mean 4 good skating lines. He would certainly have an opportunity to be good here too, but oh well. It sucks that we really lost him for nothing - because we had Stoners contract and well thanks Bieksa contract as well.

 

[Masch78]

It was not for nothing. It was for taking a useless 3m contract. That's not nothing for a budget team.

Btw, somehow the Ducks are not able to land interesting FA anymore :-(

 

[bsu]

Because we have no money ever

 

[Arthuros]

So, I totally didn’t know that Manson was selected with a pick from Toronto.

Was he though? I hear his name put in that list all the time but hockeydb doesn't have any record of the transaction.

Apparently it was in exchange for our 2012 6th round pick.

Defensemen deals highlight draft weekend trades

Toronto selected some kid named Ryan Rupert who never panned out.

 

[kroypuck]

I have heard trade/buyout likely for Kesler.

Who said that?

 

[KelVarnsen]

Who said that?

I think he knows some people in the Ducks organization. He has said things that have panned out before.

As for his info? I hope it’s true. Kesler’s a warrior but his contract/injury/age/possible huge decline in play (may be due to injury so we shall see) make me want to trade him if possible. I’d take a resigned Herique over Kes every day of the week.

Totally agree. I just hope that his play this year was because he wasn't 100%. I worry that he is in decline and won't ever be the same, guess we'll have to wait and see.

There is no way someone is trading for Kesler lol

 

[kroypuck]

Team with massive amounts of cap space would.

 

[AngelDuck]

If we threw in our first and retained 50%, yes someone would do it. Laugh all you want but it's true

The question for BM is if it's worth it

I guarantee you a team like Vegas will be looking to buy first round picks/prospects that way this offseason if they miss out on the Erik Karlsson sweepstakes

 

[bsu]

retained 50% for 4/5 more years? and our first

 

[AngelDuck]

retained 50% for 4/5 more years? and our first

It's 4 more years and if BM wants a shakeup, then something has to happen that we aren't going to get the full benefit from

This is the cost of signing players over 30 to long term deals and hopefully everyone in the organization has learned from it. Also hopefully the next CBA the owners actually insist on 5 year max contracts. These 6-8 year deals are killing teams

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

If you're going to sign a guy like Kesler to the contract he got, at his age, then you have to be committed to being all in. Unfortunately Bob doesn't understand that concept.

I don't really understand this sentiment. We had a team that should have won it all and the players choked.

It's on them, not Murray. This narrative is getting out of control.

Narrative driven by a few one-note posters who strive to turn literally every topic into some sort of negative reflection on one of the two boogeymen.

 

[Trojans86]

In fairness to BM, Kesler was a great signing until the hip surgery. You cant predict something like that.

It's going to be a very long off-season.

It wasn't a great signing, but it was a necessary one if we wanted the window to stay open.

That's the ironic part of calling out Murray for not going "all in".
