I have a feeling we’re going to sign someone big we didn’t expect.

Id prob take a short term deal on Nick Robertson tbh.... specially if we strike out on RH forwards.

He's not a 4th liner. We have Killorn, Vatrano and Gauthier on LW.
We can still call him fatI guess I can't call him a liar anymore then

I've actually been thinking about this since they drafted Sennecke. The Ducks are/were weak on the wings. They've been experimenting with Zegras as a solution to the Wing issue. It clearly isn't working and I think management knows it. What have they done since trying Zegras on the wing? Traded for Gauthier and drafted Sennecke, two core wingers.
Now the trade for Gauthier happened to open a hole on RD. The Ducks aren't likely to be drafting high anymore so how do you fill the hole at RD. Trade. Who has enough value to return a top 3 RD? Zegras.
I know that Sennecke isn't going be on the team for a while, so it's not like Zegras has no spot right now. But if you think of it as who's going to be on a cup contending core, I think the Gauthier and Sennecke moves might indicate that Zegras isn't a part of the winger core. Especially if they sign a RW in FA.
I can definitely see one of Zegras/McTavish moved for a RD, most likely Zegras since they seem to be keeping McTavish as 2C.

Regardless of how you feel about Verbeek, July 1st has definitely been a bigger deal here since he took over
So what are the chances something unexpected happens over the next few days with the Ducks? I expect a decent winger and bottom 3 D.

There’s so many players available I would be pumped for this team to get - regardless of need, hand, contract, etc. strictly in a vacuum
Just off the top of my head
Stamkos
Marchessault
Reinhart
Roy
DeBrusk
Schmidt
Monohan
Bertuzzi
Lindholm
Montour
Skjei
This feels like a really strong FA class and we have a GM who doesn’t give away anything already on record saying essentially that he plans to go shopping. Let’s go

The cap raising is going to hurt us. Many teams closer to competing are going to throw money at talent and I fear be more alluring to players. We will see.

I feel like getting the RHD is gonna be the hardest part.
Supply seems to be dwindling and the demand is always high.
Best hope is Roy. If it’s not him, not sure we’re getting a T4 RHD. Pesce, Montour, Tanev, and Carrier all seem to ve close to deals with other teams. Walker is more of an offensive guy and the rest of the RHD FAs aren’t T4 quality.

Yes please. What a menace he was in game 7.
I would be very happy with Walker. Plays hard and can move the puck well.
