Speculation: 2022-23 Roster Thread

[Kalv]

Lol Wildwing is tougher than he looks, former highschool classmate of mine got in a fight with wildwing back in 2000 at a Ducks game, this guy starts calling him names and then they started shoving back n forth til Wildwing tackled him down.
It was a school trip so the principal was pretty mad at him, we were lucky our school wasn't kicked out, apparently no one noticed wrestling match lol.

If a skill guy like Selanne dropped the gloves twice in his career I could see Zegras doing it someday against another teams skilled player.

Hahaha that's mad

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Hahaha that's mad

I don't even remember if the Ducks won the game or not. I can only remember the WildWing incident haha. 22 years ago.

Negligible change seems right. Honestly a 1% chance seems absurd.

Seattle and Philly have better teams than us

I just hope we end up with a top 5 pick this year.... then go all in next offseason.

I saw this question on Eric Stephens mailbag and thought it was funny lol is that you @Kalv

"Verbeek has talked about being tough to play against. But looking at the roster at hand it seems we have gone from Big Bad Ducks a few years ago, to something like Duckstreet Boys
There are more elements to it, but how do you see us addressing toughness for the upcoming season and the years ahead, Eric?"

Oh wow. They must have some really interesting formulas to come up with those, lol. So someone is confidently going: "Ah yes, the chances of this NHL team to win the cup next season are now exactly 1.49 %."

Yes, that's me
I am really concerned about this topic, this is how opponent can squish Zegras creativity if we have no one to answer the bell. So far Verbeek has drafted big guys but we have lost Manson and Deslauriers among others.
Offseason is not over, tho. Klingberg and Kadri signings might require some moves around the league, will see.

If Comtois returns to form Z will have that big body power forward. I think a line of Comtois - Zegras - Vatrano would be well balanced and I think they would be more responsible in their own end when Milano - Z - Rakell. Vatrano can transition from D to offense very well, will forecheck and if Comtois throws his body around and crashes the net will be a successful line.

If Comtois is not going to return to form hopefully Verbeek will try and add a Top 6 power forward. Which the Top 6 really needs .

D is a mess now and if they can get one Top 4 D I will be fine at this point lol.

Comtois can't fight for Jack shit literally lol but yeah he does play a semi heavy game.

 

[Kalv]

Yes, but he at least would be there to push Jay Beagle aside

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I'm concerned but maybe someone like a Lucic, Reaves or anybody that has a physical edge will fall to us.

I'm still surprised that we didn't acquire Kassian. The Coyotes will rough it up even more it seems.

The Coyotes can run a 300 IQ line of Ritchie-Crouse-Kassian.

 

[Leonardo87]

Not worried about the fighting as much but he is able to use his body on the walls and push players around if needed. That’s if he uses his body. He also has the skill set to score goals and make plays. Again, if he uses it. I hope he comes into camp motivated.

I'm more worried about the next time someone grabs Z or T... It's definitely going to happen more times especially with the way Zegras plays flashy and pesty.

Bring in Someone like Lucic and other teams will think twice about trying anything on Z.

They still have Liam O’Brien too.

 

[KyleJRM]

Isn't a 300 iq line just exactly average?

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Isn't a 300 iq line just exactly average?

Yeah that feels generous.

 

[All Mighty]

Yeah that feels generous.

I more meant it as 300 IQ for each of them. But I should've used a different number to avoid confusion.

 

[All Mighty]

While Klingberg does help our defense a lot, that group is incredibly soft.
