Confirmed with Link: [ANA/SEA] Brian Dumoulin for 2026 4th round pick

[Leonardo87]

Solid pick up..



Just to add, Anytime I see the Mighty Ducks logo in social media, websites, and whatnot, it makes me happy, lol.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Why stop there? He's at best a 3rd string water boy now! He's at best the 4th guy I would want to serve me my fries now.

1st in points, 1st in assists, 2nd in goals, 1st in time on ice, I think you're being a little rough on the Fowler. Our team seems to disagree, a bit.

Our team has had 3 top 3 picks with fowler leading the charge. Not sure if they are the best judge

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Bring in someone that better compliments those guys... fowler doesnt compliment any of our young guys.

If the goal is a high pick, by all means captain cam can lead the way.

I am all for bringing in a top pairing defenseman, and paying what is takes, not sure there is one available.

Lateral moves, i.e. trade Fowler and then bring in another 2nd pairing defenseman to eat top pair minutes, seem nothing more than a light touch up and wasting assets.

It’s funny , NHL.com has him as RHD, lol.

 

[Kalv]

I read around that he played right last year and was decent. Obv has to be paired with an OD. Minty-Dumo

I mean neither of us really know, but ive been saying it for a while... team needs a culture team... fowler and gibson are the last 2 pieces of the BM/Getz culture, and i think its time to move on from them.

I wont lie i thought he was a RHD and got a bit excited

Letting Lindstrom walk is a bit baffling to me. He was decent, certainly deserved a shot at camp

 

[Leonardo87]

Maybe he can play either side?

 

[Kalv]

Apparently played rightside decently last year. Paired with rookie so was sheltered

I mean i guess it was prob a question of Lacombe vs Lindstrom vs Vaaks.... and maybe they thought Vaaks/Lacombe have a lot more to show

/shrug

 

[cheesymc]

Are we really going to dress 7 defensemen with Zellweger on a forward line?

Maybe Verbeek has changed his stance on his three left shot d-men who have played RD before in Lacombe, Zell, and Hinds?

 

[Terry Yake]

really hope this doesn't mean lacombe is gone. too soon to give up on him

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Most likely... rather have the most talented players on the ice regardless of handiness anyway.

 

[Beckett]

I'd like to think this is a precursor to a trade... but they're probably just planning on using him on the right side.

 

[gilfaizon]

The people penciling Luneau into the d rotation are probably in for a shock. I think he starts in the AHL and has to earn his way here. I don't think this addition necessitates another deal.

 

[Ducksforcup]

I like the move...a 4th round pick is nothing and it's seem like he will add something to the last pairing.

 

[Vaakou]

The people penciling Luneau into the d rotation are probably in for a shock. I think he starts in the AHL and has to earn his way here. I don't think this addition necessitates another deal.

I think thats because the team has said that he is part of the big club before. A injury sidelined him last season, he would have been with the Ducks.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I think thats prob the correct move, based on health issues the last year... let him get back to normal in the AHL and bring him up at some point.

But sometimes when you hear the way they talk about Luneau, you wonder if they dont already have him penciled into the line up if healthy

TBF I think most people here aren't penciling him into the line-up, more like expecting that Verbeek wants to be able to pencil him in.

Most would probably agree that a year in SD would be good for him (and probably good for SD) but Pat seems really high on him.

Even luneau himself would understand the change of plan to play with the gulls instead of starting with the ducks given his injury and lack of development the last months.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

For sure he’d understand but that’s not really an issue anyway. Last year was brutal for him in terms of game action and it makes all the sense in the world to start him in the AHL but he also made the team as a 19 year old and could very well do so a year later. He may have only played 7 NHL games but he was around for months of practices and they could very well think he’s just NHL ready. For us fans it’s tough to handicap but the brass has seen a lot more of him than we have.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I think thats because the team has said that he is part of the big club before. A injury sidelined him last season, he would have been with the Ducks.

The injury that sidelined him was when the Ducks loaned him to the WJC with the intent of returning him to juniors. Anaheim wanted Luneau's ELC start to slide onto next season by playing fewer than 10 NHL games; Luneau only played in 7 NHL games.

Missing that much time off the ice as well as not in the gym due to leg infection does push his development back a bit. Then factor in Drysdale missing so much time due to injury only to get injured early into the season probably is another reason why starting Luneau in the AHL is the most prudent thing for Luneau, Luneau's health, and the Ducks.

 

[Hey234]

I don't mind the player but the pairings confuse me. Two players will be playing on their off sides and Gudas will most likely be asked to play more minutes with Mintyukov. This doesn't seem like the right strategy. I worried about too many players receiving minutes they are not capable of.
