God damnit

Obviously a more minor deal, but one of the few if any that I would have been good with

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Wtf is Verbeek doing? Is he asleep? We are gonna suck again llol

 

[mightyquack]

Probably need to go 10-15% higher to sign anyone.

Yep, or offer more term (i.e Gudas).

But when teams are straight up already offering up 7 years.....well yep. I'd rather not have players like Stephenson etc having 7m+ AAV's with us

 

[Son of Gib]

Yeah, they have an aging core and are throwing everything at one last chance at the cup. Something we can't compete with given where we are in the cycle right now.

I still hate Nashville because of our history (and their annoying fan base) but no way they are actual contendors, even now.

 

[Dostwall]

These contracts are insane.

Only one I’d have offered more for would’ve been Arvidsson. But it’s possible he took less to sign with a contender.

We're probably still $6-7M or so away from the cap floor even after bringing back the RFA guys, so out of necessity we'll still need to do something.

Seems more likely via trade at this point.

 

[DavidBL]

They should all be in the same room to accentuate the futility.

I agree that they're not in the top contenders but they are still a playoff team at this point.

I think they'll be one and done (or miss the playoffs if Josi goes down), but they are a more competitive team then us at the moment quite easily which is what players in their mid 30's look at.

 

[Duck Off]

Isles signed Duclair. We’re officially the only team to not sign a free agent so far lmao

 

[Son of Gib]

Plus he will probably play center for them. He'd be on the wing with us.

Sign Henrique 8x9M, come on Pat, god damn

 

[WhatTheDuck]

What is it about Tarasenko, seems to have a bit of that best player no one really wants vibe, even after winning a Cup? Easily the most productive player left on the FA pile

It actually is pretty funny.

I never expected us realistically to be in on the big name guys, but to be the only team to not sign anyone while having the most cap space in the league is kind of hilarious.

 

[Rybread86]

I know we need to hit the cap floor and some names have gone that would have been nice, but I just cant be mad at our lack of action today when you see these contracts

Isnt he only willing to play in Florida or something?

 

[ohcomeonref]

These deals are whack as f*** man, you guys can't possibly feel like we were cheated out of something

OR, maybe some Ducks fans aren't as smart as they think as they're chirping "too much, too long" every year while we sit at the bottom of the league.

 

[GiveYouABagOfPucks]

Anything left that makes us better and harder to play against?

God damnit

I honestly don't care for big signings, but would have liked to have signed a handful of high effort physical players like Lomberg, Carrier, Carrick, Duhaime, Lafferty types. Now they are all pretty much gone...

I think it is pretty inexcusable to not have even signed these low-cost veterans to surround our young skill. It's not like we don't have the budget...

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Guessing Trouba is going to be the move for us

 

[Masch78]

Ducks will go after Pinto imho

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

So uh…. Who we trading for

Which deal do you choose then?

He wouldn't waive for us. If they place him on waivers then maybe.
