I'm sorry but anyone who thinks Pat is going to trade a player he just signed for 7 years needs to give their head a shake.

Somebody please tell Derek not everybody spends their life on social media. I’ve got plenty of other ways to waste time.
I feel the same. This would be my starting lineup next season.
Gauthier and Carlsson looked good together in their one game and should be given every opportunity to find chemistry. Terry doesn't work with Carlsson and Strome/Colangelo should not be on the top line. Killorn could be there but it makes the most sense to aquire a player on RW.
Vatrano-McTavish-Terry looked solid on their short time together. A healthy McTavish and Vatrano already showed chemistry and success. Terry and McTavish make sense.
This leaves the remaining of Killorn and Zegras. There is no reason to believe that they wouldn't play well together. Strome would most likely play on RW due to seniority/contract. However, if guys like Colangelo, Regenda, Nesterenko, etc... start to push, I could see Strome traded at the deadline or next summer.
Idw to go on Twitter, been avoiding it for a while.
Derek, if you read this, would love to hear:
1. Do you feel we improved over last year?
2. How can we escape the injury curse?
3. What's our bottom 6 next year. Is Lundy playing?
4. Big hopes in San Diego but result was horrible. What were they missing?
5. What to expect from Luneau next year?
6. How does Pat runs the drafting decisions? It seems we're missing some obvious talent, picking size/grit insteat. Will we continue this trend? It does not look sustainable to me
I don't do Twitter, but I'd be really interested in hearing Derek's take on the relationship between Verbeek and Zegras. Some of the big name insiders have kept hinting at a rift between Z and someone else in the organisation, suggesting that he might get traded as a result. It'd be interesting to hear from someone who's been around the team.

Friedman has on several occasions, Seravalli has but he's obviously not to be trusted, and I think even LeBrun has hinted towards the same idea IIRC (might be mistaken there). There's smoke, I just don't know if it's an agenda that some are driving or if it's a real thing. Hence the interest.

I haven't seen anything concrete other than speculation which even Friedman does. I would be very surprised if Zegras was traded.
Ya unless Im mistaken every time Friedman has said anything it's always been "I think..." which is speculation.
I'll preface by saying i don't want to see him traded under any circumstances. I think the only way it could happen is if we get Celebrini and even then it's unlikely. If there's any harsh feelings between them, they should work that out because Zegs staying on the Ducks is what's in everyone's best interest.
Um was there a break up day? There is no news at all. Was hoping to get some insight who may be going to the WC, and what players were injured.
I was thinking maybe today or tomorrow. Probably sometime this week.

I don't know what getting Celebrini even would have to do with Zegras. The kid is 17 years old right now. He's very good, but not a generational Bedard type of player that's going to immediately light the league on fire.
We're a team that's starved for any positive offensive players, and Zegras is probably the best forward on the team right now when healthy. Unless he's full on demanding to be moved, I can't fathom why he would be traded or what a trade would be that even makes sense.

He doesn't say that nearly as often as he says "I think".
It's all about clicks anymore. Insiders used to only say something when they actually heard something. Their bosses won't let them stay quiet that long in the current age of social media. Clicks equal revenue, revenue equals keeping their jobs. Hence, everybody now has some Eklund in them.

Glad to see that Luneau is with the team and apparently training. That's an encouraging sign after the season of horrors for him.

Zegras (USA)
Gauthier (USA)
Zellweger (Canada)
Carlsson (Sweden)
Dostal (Czech)
Gudas (Czech)

That Fowler tweet really sums up why the guy was never in contention for the C. Talk about lack of leadership.

At the end of this video, Carlsson is asked about his plans for the summer. All he talks about is going home to Sweden. I'm guessing he won't play in the WC, which is probably the right call.
