Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

[The Duck Knight]

Shepard or Bussi would be my top choices.

If it was a long term play sure, but whoever we claim is going to be right back on waivers in a few weeks. Better off taking a vet who you know can give you 3 or 4 decent starts in the meantime and might clear.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

If we’re claiming a goalie Shepard is who I’m taking

Excellent choice, IMO

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Put me down as a vote for Bussi, deserves an NHL shot. Not quite as big but reminds me a bit of Stolarz

I am curious how Duck fans value Cam Fowler. He might be on the move, at some point, and I suspect that there would be several teams interested especially if he were offered with retention. A number of playoff teams would be able to fit him in depending on the number.

Does he play the right side?

 

[KelVarnsen]

The fact the article referred to Gibson as "Cam Gibson" and Zegras as a "disgruntled prospect" is all I needed to see.

Cam may be moved at the TDL but I don't think anything is going to happen soon. HIs limited trade clause really hampers a trade even if he expands it a little.

He has played the right a little in the past but he is so much better on the left.

Duck fans are split on Cam. Some feel he helps insulate the younger D from having to play tougher minutes. Other think he has outlived his usefulness and needs to be moved to clear the way for younger LHD.

I can think of at least two things wrong with that caption. Obviously, Ross Johnston has never "handled" a puck.

And Fowler has never had a fight. At least that I can remember.

Considering Johnston barely goes out to protect our younger players anyway, the only handles he's got are love handles.

Get him out of here!
He kinda plays right side…. He’s fine on a diff team…. Do you really want a guy that can’t even make line changes tho

I would bet money that if Cam plays a reduced role on the team this year, almost all of the squabbling about him will go away and he will look really good.

Good for Cam for sticking up for Vatanen. Understand why it's been an infrequent thing.

You are probably right because Cam would be good in a reduced role. I just don’t think Cronin will do it. I think he’ll ride Cam into the ground again.

I think it could go either way. I want to say that the lines/practices from pre-season made me hopeful that he will get a reduced role but it's also pre-season so tough to say if it means anything.
