Speculation: 2023-24 Roster Thread

[robbieboy3686]

Don't love that. Zellweger should be up for the rest of the season.

He might be the main piece in a ducks trade for a top4 physical right handed D this summer. He is small, and verbeek doesn’t want small. Don’t be shocked guys.

Looks like Lagesson and Meyers up, Gawdin and Zellweger down per AHL transactions

Verbeek is acquiring guys who couldn't quite break into the NHL with their former teams but fit into our current AHL-ish reality. Don't like that they're blocking our own prospects (Zelly), but this season is a lost cause anyway.

 

[MMC]

These guys going down may just be paper moves to get us through the 23 man roster limit expiring after the deadline

 

[forever1922]

Rather have our guys playing competitively in AHL than losing almost every night from here on out.

We'll see what else happens tonight. I like the shuffling so far, we do need the competitiveness throughout the organisation.

He literally just traded for a guy who's 5'10. I think this is either about the roster limit or this is about giving the Gulls a chance to make a playoff run. Both are reasonable.

He has been quoted as saying “ with the nhl rule changes, smallwr dmen can’t hook anymore and it will be very hard for these types of players to succeed” I’m paraphrasing but this was 100% thoughts he vocalized in an interview

I'm not at all worried about Zellweger's future with the organization. If Verbeek trades him, so be it, but I don't think that quote means it's imminent or likely. Nothing I've seen about the way they've treated Zellweger indicates Verbeek doesn't like him as a player.

If we trade him it will be for someone everyone will be happy about. I would guess. And we’re desperate for a top 4 physical rhd we can add to what we already have in gudas

Regenda might just be staying up.

Regenda might just be staying up.

Anyone not sent down today (if not just as a paper transaction can't be sent down for the rest of the season, which is why Gawdin/Meyers/Zellweger were sent down, doesn't look like Regenda was though, so he'd have to stay up

Also since they appear to not have done this with LaCombe, he will remain on the roster for the season

Don’t they also have to be on Gulls roster today to be playoff eligible?

Correct

Gulls won't be playoff eligible, so it won't matter if the players are.

I haven’t been keeping up. I thought they were showing signs of life.

 

[lwvs84]

I haven’t been keeping up. I thought they were showing signs of life.

They have been significantly better than the start of the season, but I think they dug themselves too deep of a hole and now their best player (Zellweger) is probably going to be consistently up in the NHL.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I haven’t been keeping up. I thought they were showing signs of life.

They've stumbled in the last 10 in games they really needed. Now they're missing a bunch of top players. It can still happen for them (they're in 9th, top 7 make the playoffs), but they need a really solid run to end the season.

Verbeek says Olen will spend the rest of the season with the ducks.

Hope this mean the lacombe experiment is over with.

[Hockey Duckie]

Verbeek says Olen will spend the rest of the season with the ducks.

And I hope Verbeek moves off of his stance that he wants defensemen playing in their natural shooting positions b/c Zell has been playing RD with Fowler and LaCombe played RD with Vaak last night.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

The Future Watch hasn't hit my B&N yet. So sad. But I discovered there's a prospects special edition by THN. I guess it's tradition to want the physical mag instead of getting it digitally.

From the Ducks' link:

Among all NHL clubs ranked in Future Watch, Anaheim is first in five-year average position and also 20-year average position. No NHL team has had more top-10 finishes (13), top-five finishes (10) and top-three finishes (eight) than the Ducks over the past 20 years.​

I don't understand why posters want to get rid of our scouting staff.

Even if playing all the remaining games, the most they can get is:

Leo – 59
Zegras – 39
Lundestrom – 46
Luneau – 7

Others have missed games but are not as bad. We have to figure out how to stay healthy or we will not be any good.
