Confirmed with Link: [ANA/OTT] Erik Gudbranson for 2021 5th round pick

[McDonald19]

I liked Gudbranson’s game and thought he might even be signed for a few years.

5th round picks are meh...but I understand the cap situation.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Barrie could rebuild some value. 1 year @ 6 million

We don't have 6m. We have just over 4.4 to split between a RD and a goalie.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Put me in the “clearing money off the books because they’ll hemorrhage cash with nobody in the arena” camp.

 

[sasha barkov]

Hope this means Barrie is coming here

It’s more if you factor in the Kesler LTIR. I’m not sure how that works in the off-season to be honest.

 

[bsu]

Highly doubt we get any good defensemen in FA.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Welcome home, Sami V

The rule used to be something like, you can go 10% over the cap in the offseason. Then we would place Kesler on the LTIR at the beginning of next season? IIRC

I agree, I loved what guds brought to this team. Unless something happens tomorrow, I just don’t like this. We would’ve gotten more at the deadline ( so it makes me think that we must be getting that rh pp qback)

 

[The Duck Knight]

You only get max LTIR benefits when you're right at the cap. If we put him on LTIR right now it would only give us an extra 2m in space. In order to maximize the LTIR space they would need to spend the cap they have left first before they put Kesler on.

So Bob basically confirms this is about Barrie, eh? So be it, as long as he's not dangling term.

 

[Elvs]

Yeah. With all the uncertainties (covid) going into next season, I could see this move being made simply for saving some cash.

 

[All Mighty]

I’m going to predict that Barrie will be our target. His value will be pretty low after last season, and I can’t see a quality team offering him much, especially with a flat cap. A perfect scenario to me would be a 1 or 2 year deal so he can rebuild his value.

 

[Kalv]

Not a fan. Obviously has to wait a few days to see where it leads, but at first sight I don't like this at all.

Btw Cam was on pace for his best season. Maybe just MAYBE it was because he finally had a decent D partner. Ugh.

 

[MCB]

Y'all aren't thinking like murray. Bringing Bieksa out of retirement. 7 years full NMC.
Kidding aside vat would be a dream but I am holding my hopes so I'm not disappointed too much.

 

[Paul4587]

We have to be looking for a dman. There’s a giant hole behind Manson now, this clears cap space and a roster spot.

Also good asset management. Pay nothing for Gudbransson and get a pick out of it. Thanks Dorion.

It will probably be 3 years. We have to over pay to get players to come to Anaheim. It just is what it is!

I dont really like Barrie much... if thats who we are targeting... he should ideally help our powerplay and our transition game ... but damn is he a mess in his own end.

And what do we go
Fowler Barrie?

That pairing would get demolished with any type of zone pressure.

Honestly I'd much prefer that to more than 2 years to Shatt/Barrie, but I think it's pretty obvious BM wants a RHD that can play the PP.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Shattenkirk isn’t the target imo. He played super well in a contract year, just won the cup. Unless he’s this super humble character guy, I don’t see him playing with the same fire he did this past season. I see him coasting the rest of his career. Barrie on the other hand, younger dude, there’s a ton of value in the fact that he had a bad season. Bargain bob likes bargains. And Barrie this season , perfect time to sign him.

 

[Paul4587]

Also if we are targeting a RHD to help the PP I really hope it’s Barrie and not Shattenkirk. Both are bad defensively but the former is younger, better and can QB a first unit. Shattenkirk while still useful is more a second unit guy which we already have an abundance of in Curran (if he makes it), Fowler and Lindholm.

Tomorrow just got more interesting

this. Bob does not need to be signing Shattenkirk long term. I fear that’s his target though.
