Confirmed with Link: [ANA/NYR] Jacob Trouba for Urho Vaakanainen and 2025 4th round pick

[Firequacker]

What's the point of principle though? Just make the team better.

First, I don't think he's going to make the team appreciably better.
Second, Verbeek wants "high character veterans" teaching the kids and he gave us a blatant flying elbow merchant. I don't like giving up assets for that even if they're borderline assets.

I like it!

They just made gudas captain!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

We are never going to not be on the PK

Exactly. Just when the Ducks are finally starting to get some balanced officiating we will immediately start a new 10 year trend of getting screwed regularly.

How long until trouba gets suspended? I give it a month

 

[Firequacker]

They just made gudas captain!

And how's that going?

We just traded literally the only D who hasn't been garbage with Gudas this year.

Whoever isn’t suspended can be captain.

Fowler-Trouba
Zellweger-Dumoulin
LaCombe-Gudas

Helleson-Mintyukov to SD and press box?

I easily play Minty over Lacombe.

 

[Static]

And how's that going?

With what part? His captaincy? Does anyone regret that?

 

[Deuce22]

Anyway you slice it, 2 of young D won’t be playing. All belong in the NHL.

lol Vaaks is a 6/7 guy. We have so many young D in the system that can make up for him.

 

[Deuce22]

Mintyukov has twice the ceiling as LaCombe.

[hockey webcomics]

what jersey number is he picking?
#88?

Jesus f***ing Christ.

yep

 

[Static]

Come on, how can you not love this. I'm excited

 

[bobbythebrain]

If JFresh says he's bad, then you guys got a stud.

JFresh is literally the opposite of reality

Trouba is totally a PV type player. Idk why anyone would be surprised that he wanted to acquire him once he had the opportunity

Ive liked Helleson but he probably goes down for a bit. Fowler likely doesnt make it past the trade deadline. Depending on how Trouba does, Dumo could be out too.

Short term minor inconveniences while they hammer out some roster decisions.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

If Trouba somehow turns it around we could retain and repackage him to a contender lol

 

[KelVarnsen]

Mintyukov has twice the ceiling as LaCombe.

I guess that why I was confused you had him on the bench or SD in your lineup.

 

[quackquackquack]

I easily play Minty over Lacombe.

Its dumb we even have to make that decision. Both should be playing. Too much depth on the back end and not enough up front.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I'd like to think Verbeek has been sitting on a Fowler trade he can now pull the trigger on.

 

[Deuce22]

I guess that why I was confused you had him on the bench or SD in your lineup.

Because they are scratching him.

And it will probably be for a month.

Gotta figure the young guys on the team appreciate seeing PV adding to this team after we’ve been improved to start the season
