Speculation: 2023-24 Roster Thread

[MCB]

Damn, really? I remember hearing 24/25 season is when it’s all finished. Bummer :/

From what I remember it's going in stages, with phase 3 not even starting until 28/29, scroll down to the timeline section. ocV!BE | The new heart of Orange County
Maybe the parking will be finished by 24/25?

Or Mmc may have meant nope as in we will in no way be competitive next year

What are the odds Lundestrom gets non-tendered? Only been 10 games back, but he's got 1 point (a goal) and Cronin is playing him nearly 2 minutes below his career average TOI.

He's making $1.8 million AAV and has arbitration rights.

Definitely a good chance they nontender both him and Jones but if either goes on a run to end the year they might keep them

I think in his prime Lundy has all the potential to be an ideal bottom 6 center/PK, but I think that's a few years away and I just can't picture him being the type of bottom 6 Center Verbeek envisions.

Jones is a heart & soul guy, this team needs more of that. I think he has a much better chance of being on the team next season and carving out a role in the NHL.

Hagg also back up

Unless he goes on a run, I dont think hes back. Gaucher is the guy I think they see long term playing the 3rd line role and they can probably live with a guy like Carrick centering the 4th line for a while. No idea how close Gaucher is or isnt, but I think its possible he gets some serious consideration next season.

I would be shocked if Pat didn't sign Lundestrom to a cheap 2-year deal. It's a gimme and an obvious move.

Wow this is depressing how slow it is

Hagg also back up

So if my math is right, we're carrying 8D right now, correct?

Yep

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Is it time to give Z2 a look?

Looks like it is Dr Fever. Stevens should have such insight.

Ducks continue the tradition of sending Hagg down to the Gulls after every game

Called back up

PV does know Hagg's contract is not two way, right?

He’s just trying to keep him waiver exempt as long as possible. Hagg probably only needs a couple more days on the NHL roster before he is waiver eligible again.

He was not sent down (at least not yet) after yesterdays game so he may have reached it now

Can't risk our top prospect getting plucked off waivers

 

[Ducks DVM]

We need more complaining about Lundestrom. He’s got 2 assists and a +4 since it started Tuesday.

Be careful what you ask for.

 

[DavidBL]

Who do you guys prefer. Lacombe or Vaaks?

Well, someone did say that Lundy had no value as a winger recently. So there was that.

 

[mightyquack]

I feel like this is a trap because if someone doesn't say LaCombe they are going to be receiving an essay on disrespecting LaCombe.

But for me I prefer Vaaks at this stage and see him more of a natural fit if we are assuming our future puck movers are Minty, Zellweger and Luneau.

LaCombe is better offensively and we have seen flashes of some decent offensive potential when he carries the puck while Vaaks will always be the more solid defensive option IMO.

I can't remember who said it, but someone said that Vaaks reminds them of Lydman and I 100% can see that in his game.

 

[Random Guy]

Vaaks, LaCombe makes very bad decisions quite frequently. I personally think him and Fowler are a horrible pairing together. He'd probably be better with a different partner but all we can judge is what we see.

I'm actually with you on this. As long as Vaaks is healthy I prefer him in the lineup. I do wonder if there is room for both guys.
