Weird trade. I have a feeling that LaCombe might be moved.

EDIT: I remember Dumoulin not being great at the end of his tenure in Pittsburgh, but his underlying numbers with Seattle last year were actually very good. Probably in a reduced role.

 

[cheesymc]

Not the expected long term RHD

He’s our Kulikov 2.0 who hopefully doesn’t return a mid pick plus McGinn contract at the deadline

Not lacombe. But maybe fowler

This was always inevitable for jaxxxxon lacombe

So we back here huh? Sucks. According to PV we were gonna commit to playoffs

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

I don’t hate this move at all. Actually I kind of like it

 

[Deuce22]

Crossing my fingers that this means Fowler is getting moved.

 

[Arthuros]

So this guy's the Lyub replacement?

 

[cheesymc]

Maybe they are trading Lacombe for someone like Ross Colton… but more likely a worse player

 

[MMC]

This year's version of the Lyubushkin trade. Pick can be recouped or slightly upgraded if we are set to miss the postseason

 

[The Duck Knight]

Still 3m under the floor. I don't think this means Fowler is going. I think it means Lacombe is either being traded or starting in San Diego.

 

[Arthuros]

Maybe interesting to note that he was 3rd among all Kraken players in +/- behind Vince Dunn (+8) and Adam Larsson (+6).

 

[MMC]

Hoping the pairings we see assuming no further acquisitions on D are

Fowler-Zellweger
Mintyukov-Gudas
Dumoulin-Luneau

with Vaakanainen and LaCombe rotating in

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

I love Dumo, wanted us to sign him last year, but definitely didn’t see this coming, thought Ceci or Holl might be that guy instead. Be very interesting to see where he slots in.

 

[Unholy]

Crossing my fingers that this means Fowler is getting moved.

Why?

 

[Rybread86]

lol we didnt trade for a 20 point Dman to replace a 40-50 point D man.

 

[cheesymc]

So what would have been preferred?

Holl + 2nd
Or
Dumoulin - 4rth

It’s neither for me when players like Desharnais + Hakanpa is less in cap combined.

 

[Static]

Dumoulin is a perfectly competent dman, nice move. We have too many LD.

 

[Deuce22]

Why?

Not a fan

 

[mightyquack]

I said it in the main thread, but I can definitely see LaCombe packaged for an upgrade at defence or forward.

Don't see him above Minty or Zellweger in the left side of defence and don't think he sticks long term in the NHL playing on the right side. We have quite a few promising left hand defenceman in the system too.

Not to mention Vaaks coming back as well.

 

[Static]

The pick is in 2026. Might as well not exist!

 

[Arthuros]

Man, Dumo had better be sending half his paycheck to Letang, because I had no idea he was making over $6M.

 

[cheesymc]

So we are in fact paying to reach the cap floor when others are receiving compensation for taking on contracts.

Masterclass.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Oh good. Another lefty.
