Without Fowler our defense is among the leagues worst. I don't understand this team right now.

Weird how when he was drafted Boll was though of as a power forward prospect. Then after his first two seasons in the NHL he became a straight enforcer. Happens to lots of guys but he actually had dece junior numbers in the U and the O.
On topic, such a weird signing for the Ducks, but defs fits the Carlyle mentality.

A) Not true. The Ducks had an amazing record without Fowler in the lineup, and Lindholm, Vatanen, and Manson are only going to get better.
B) The Ducks have an internal budget, and unfortunately we're stuck with Bieska. We have to shed salary, and out options are very limited.

Surprised Versteeg isn't signed yet. Thought he played pretty respectable for the Kings. Is he not get any offers?
The day Jared Boll was bought out was a celebration for a lot of CBJ fans. The guy is a possession nightmare and when he isn't scratched is out there to F stuff up. I am glad he is no longer a drag on the CBJ but he was a fan favorite for people who love fighting. Not a fan of this guy on the ice at all and I would have said the same three years ago. Great guy off the ice so I wish him luck in Anaheim, but two years on a one way deal...

and you're just assuming all will be better? To each their own, but we're in for a long season if we roll with what we have right now on defense. (without Fowler)
Welcome to the world on an internal budget when you have two bottom pairing defenseman making a combined $7.25M.
And yes, I expect all three of those players to be better.

This is not true at all. Defenses right now are basically made up of haves and have-nots. Anaheim would still be a have, for sure.Without Fowler our defense is among the leagues worst. I don't understand this team right now.

The biggest problem I see is how Boll never played in the AHL where he would be a 1st line player, play on the PP, and get to develop offensively.
Boll came into camp his rookie year and blew everyone way with out much effort he put forth. He immediately earned a 4th line role as a energy player (Derek Dorsett was similar). His priority was hitting, but he was actually causing some turnovers. You could see that he could be a complementary player on a 1st or 2nd line that opens up the ice for the more skilled players and can drop the gloves immediately if anyone took a cheap shot on the skilled players.
But Boll's only gotten slower, his hands haven't gotten any better and the idea of him having any offensive potential has evaporated.

The Ducks are going to beat down everyone next year. If they can't beat them, they will beat them up.

The problem is that Detroit has a lack of forward depth with the departure of Datsyuk and the decline of Zetterberg, they would want to keep what little they have.
It's bargain bin Bob. He always does crap like this. It's no surprise at all. And you are correct. Until Murray fixes that third line this roster stinks for next season IMO.

Boll pks doesn't he?That's a bit of an understatement.
One guy will give you 5 points if you're lucky. The other guy has scored nearly 30 goals in a season.
We saw what happened when BB had pure enforcers. They rightly sat in the press box. RC will consistently put Boll in the lineup and play him 4 minutes.

He fights people.
Who knows? Maybe this will be a come to Jesus moment and Boll breaks out. But yeah, he is just there to fight.

Boll was one of the better forecheckers on the CBJ when he came,into the league. Had some decent speed and willing to hit everything in sight. Actually thought he might develop into a 10g, 15a type guy. Occassional surprising skill. Unfortunately it never happened and he's since lost a step, or two. I hope he finds some of his game but a little shocked it's a 2 yr deal, one way... Great guy in the room and community but he's stealing money at this point. Wish him luck though
I stand by my statement that Anaheim won't even make the playoffs this season.
And this team will only get worse the coming decade, since the twins plus Kesler earns a buttload and will only decline even more from now on.
Also has very limited prospects, especially among forwards.
Anaheim is in for a "Dead Wings" era.

Hearing things like this blow my mind. Fowler is nothing special. at all. Out of all our defensemen not named bieksa and stoner he's the clear candidate to be traded.
