24/25 Waivers/Rumors/TDL Thread.

I've definitely been picturing both Ed and ASP on PP2 for the next couple years
I am probably in the minority here, but I don't see Ed as a viable, regular PP option at the NHL level. I think Seider, ASP and two forwards will be a better option. That said, I have been wrong before about these things.

Ed would be better than seider on the pp long term imo. He's a better passer than seider and seider rarely shoots the puck.
 
Zegras absolutely sucks why would you guys want to use a first for him? He isn’t good defensively and isn’t producing offensively anymore. He is absolutely not worth a first round pick, use that to actually upgrade something we need.

You better get another guy on the ice or that will be a lousy PP.;)
I laugh, but actually agree that Seider and ASP might be a great combo on a PP. It would let ASP just do his thing offensively without worrying about hanging back. I wouldn't mind seeing a 2D 3F power play again somehow.
If that happens, we had better see Ed on the second unit though. Should be trying him out there already over Gus.

Second year in a row losing significant time to injury. I wouldn't be thrilled with losing a 1st for him but he could also be a nice buy low candidate. Before the injury I remember ducks fans saying he had made some good strides defensively, too.

Could see ASP in a Kane/ Ray side board role, but having 3 righties in the back might not be the best bet.

I could definitely see an Ed/ ASP pp unit at some point. Ed is pretty solid about getting shots on net and his reach would help keep pucks in. I feel like having another dman would free ASP to really move and cheat in when he wants. Get Soder in front of the net and get some shots on net.

Future thoughts:

DBC/Buch (low slot)- Kasper/MBN (bumper)- Larkin (Kane Slot
Ray (high slot)-Seider

Buch/MBN (slot)-Danielson (slot/bumper)- Soder (net)
Ed (back) - ASP (rover)

I should note that I feel like these pp would get way more even time like PP units of old.

ASP will be in the ovechkin spot if he’s on a PP with Seider. I bet they ease him in though, if ASP gets PP time it will be PP2 to start.
