So dumb to offer sheet ducks. We have more money to spend than almost every other team

Click bait season

Yes, he is worth that contract. Because of his size, though, there has to be a specific role for him.

Size is ok. He just is not tall. But size is more than just height.

Didn't watch Spence in Ottawa but man oh man did he get pushed around and manhandled when he was in LA.

 

[All Mighty]

Something (kinda)

 

[ADHB]

What in the world good would front loading a Carlsson contract do? Do other idiot writers think Ducks ownership is cash poor?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Something (kinda)

Hey, this was MY idea a couple weeks ago!

Some time in between and I see so much of Brandon Montour in him. Even size is similar.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Losing Johnston, Viel, Trouba and Gudas (when healthy) is 100% of anaheim toughness. Replacing them with? Small soft useless Spence?

If Vegas cannot afford 6'3 LD Jeremy Lauzon, then maybe the Ducks could be in on that. Lauzon ranks 10th overall in hits with 251 hits. Problem is... we have a lot of talented LD's vying for a spot on the Ducks' roster and we have Solberg developing in the AHL.

The V in DVM actually stands for Verbeek

I like him a lot.

He'll never be the goal scoring threat that Montour was but on the plus side he seems to play a much more structured game than Montour did at 25.

Lauzon is a poor mans Clayton Stoner. Yes he's extremely physical. That is basically his only redeeming quality. He's not a great PKer which actually is irrelevant because he lives in the box. He's not better than any of our 4 LD.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Dumb.

1 - you can’t front load the variance like you used to be able to.
2 - Richest owner in the sport, idiot
3 - What would give pause is to make it mostly bonus money to make it buyout-proof, not front loading

Learn to troll better.

It’s short for “Da Verbeekening Man”.

A poor man's Clayton Stoner? That guy isn't even an AHL player.

 

[The Duck Knight]

That's kind of my point. Lauzon is terrible.

 

[Static]

Risky

 

[Static]

Not a whole lot, but again, he's a big risk.

 

[Masch78]

It's about of how he moves and shoots.

Yeah not sure I'd want him on a team with young Russians. Will almost certainly gravitate to each other and may not be a great influence.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

There are legit nlh “insiders “ that follow that account.

Give us some names.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Give us some names.

Which is a decent bit given I hardly follow any nhl people. But they are some of the few I follow. Maybe not insiders, but people you can count on for a good story etc

Anthony Di Marco isn't a hack

Hide this post from Dirk. Extremely physical is all a guy needs.
