For hanifin, he doesn’t have arbitration rights. But I doubt the games will put the screws to him. They were he ones to ink Hamilton to his current deal.Bit higher than I'd like considering this is a good Hanifin comparable.
Too high. He shouldn't have gotten more than 3. Not gonna lose any sleep over it though, I just hope he continues to improve.
...I honestly think he's going to struggle until Carlyle is fired. Randy has made poor use of this team's mobile defense.
This doesn't really mean much at all considering Montour plays a significant amount of minutes on the PP (2 minutes 15 seconds per game) while Manson sees next to no PP time (6 seconds per game) and since Montour plays on the PK (1 minute 12 seconds per game) it doesn't balance out even with Manson logging big PK minutes (2 minutes 27 seconds per game). Manson (17 minutes 49 seconds per game) plays more at ES than Montour (17 minutes 1 second per game) as well.Newsflash: he earned more ice time than Josh Manson THIS season, on a juggernaut blueline.

Montour is a damn good young dman, but lets not go overboard.
Its kinda scary to think by end of next season, fowler might be the 4th best defense for us.A good reminder that Montour is still our 4th-best defenceman, all things considered.

If I was a ducks fan I would be scared too, about the aging forward core. Your d and goaltender are stacked and relatively young but the forwards are getting into the mid 30's and you have no bluechippers to replace them. Kinda worrying.Its kinda scary to think by end of next season, fowler might be the 4th best defense for us.

Steel/lundestrum can be 2c/3c of the future... rakell/kase/comtois/Ritchie/jones/terry etc should make for decent enough wingers... getzlaf hopefully has a 2-3 more years left in him of elite play. Might lack an elite 1c, but outside of that the roster should be good enough to be playoff worthy... specially with that defense/goalie.
Then if Mahura/Larsson pan out, that makes 1 of Lindholm/fowler expendable if were in dire need for a center.
As always... RC is the big issue.
He won’t be coach after this season, book it. Either Eakins or Wilford will get promoted. Heck, Randy could get canned this season if they struggle up until December. Things are looking up

What would it take?
At this point leaf fans have to be trolling... they cant honestly come into a ducks dmen thread and think a package of johnsson/kapanen rosen and a 2nd will get the job done.Johnsson/Kapanen, Rosen, 2nd
