We're just going to be thin up front unless we make a move or 2. Problem is we are very very thin on RHD lol so like everyone is saying, Beeker has his work cut out!
Dont be surprisd of Gudas signs a 1 Year deal to stay,..I’d bet a fair amount of money that one of Paryako, Risto , or Carlo ends up on ducks next year.
Ideally we add an offensive type in addition like Hamilton , Nemec
I see a world where we just end up w one of the big defensive guys listed and run Luneau , Helleson, and one of big three. Then expend rest of assets on Larkin.
Ideally we add another , though.
Wouldn’t be shocked if we attempt to sign Rasmus Anderson or Raddysh, also
+1000 the beeker may think a lot more of McQueen the player right now and in the winter than most of you doThis might be the runway McQueen needs to start getting with the big club. Move Sennecke up with Leo and Cutter and let McQueen play on the 2nd or 3rd line.
This.Obviously I think the goal is to slide McQueen in the 2C spot when ready but Is there anything stopping Cutter from being the 2C?... He's spot filled at times. Played a mix of LW and C throughout his career. Oddly enough he seemed to thrive when he played his off wing RW this year... Dude is just a gamer.

With that new incoming contract, he will have to play goalie if we ask himObviously I think the goal is to slide McQueen in the 2C spot when ready but Is there anything stopping Cutter from being the 2C?...

It sounds like they are trying to move Binnington so I’m guessing Hofer isn’t available.Hofer would be a nice piece to receive from STL
Its not panic its reality:The panic level around here for it being mid June is something else.
Verbeek knows what he’s doing. But I think the Terry news pretty much guarantees McT isn’t being traded for a defenseman and if he is, one of the big time prospects is going to bring in an impact forward - or vice versa
Not shocking to me tbh…. I think he’s one of those guys that will learn more/faster in the NHL level.The Ducks may decide to continue Solberg's development at the NHL level next season. It sounds like they think this will be more productive and also introduce him to Quenneville's system early. If it happens, I don't know if he'll stay with the Ducks from the start or called up later. I think they see him in a 3LD role, he's going to play.
Personally I think it would be a good decision, as Solberg has shown he can handle heavy minutes against NHL players, then there's no need to keep him in the minors. And there will be no better coach than Quenneville to teach him how to play a physical game without taking it too far. I'm sure Solberg has a ton of respect for him.
Patience, let’s see what the team looks like after draft/free agencyIts not panic its reality:
- Terry out until December
- Carlson gone
- Trouba testing FA
- No extensions yet for Leo / Cutter
- McT on trade block
That's a LOT up in the air for a team that has to build on success of last season. Also, draft is next week, FA shortly after that and its a short summer. Lots of business to tend to.
This is where I’m at also. Especially since you’ve stated that the beeker has told him that they see him as a key piece on this team moving forward. I can see him being our bottom pair lhd this season. And eventually our 2nd pair lhd behind Lacombe. People who love minty will hate me saying that. But if somehow we’re trying to trade for both parayko and larkin. Unless we can sell zellwegger. Something has to give. And that might be minty .

Absolutely but let's not act like we have a whole lot of time. Our reality will set in within weeks.Patience, let’s see what the team looks like after draft/free agency
