Another gentle giant and useless to the teams needs. Verbeek is obsessed with these players. No wonder many posters love the job he's doing. This trade is completely of no use

What a refreshingly original take. Your takes are always so new and not stale at all, that I think you're using ChatGPT to come up with them.Another gentle giant and useless to the teams needs.

Verbeek is showing the hockey world it's hard work to ice the leagues worst team with an unwatchable roster and get high draft picks. I'm sure he's gaining the leagues respectSo we are in fact paying to reach the cap floor when others are receiving compensation for taking on contracts.
Masterclass.
Go post how much you love the team verbeek assembled omg he's not overpaying and resigning the ahl caliber useless players. You are obsessed with this last place roster good for you. I'll continue to voice my opinion nobody cares what you thinkWhat a refreshingly original take.

I would guess: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.
Don’t know why people engage himWhat a refreshingly original take. Your takes are always so new and not stale at all, that I think you're using ChatGPT to come up with them.

Sure, i was only replying to why people have him in the NHL lineup.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.
99 impact? Don’t know what that mean but it sure looks like a nice video game stat.
It is likely we sell him for more than what we paid at the deadline.
Should be Fowler, doesn't fit the window. Might get a decent return.Fowler
Mintyukov
Zellweger
LaCombe
Vaakanainen
The writing is definitely on the wall for at least one LHD
I don’t think we will trade him, but if Detroit doesn’t get Trouba, I would think they could have interest in Fowler.Should be Fowler, doesn't fit the window. Might get a decent return.
I’ve come to the conclusion that this board will be split into two groups of thought:
Either the team will steadily improve with prospect development and the ‘possibility’ of getting better through trades
vs
This team trying to improve is merely an illusion created by PV and co. Either prospect growth will stagnate, and/or PVs built roster won’t improve.
At least that would bring more entertainment than the typical Ducks game would provide and actually justify the price of admission. We would probably also see less opponent fans too. Why not Jake Paul on skates? We could be the worst hockey team in the league but be I can guarantee we wouldn’t be skipped during commercial breaks on broadcasts like what we see at the draft. Let’s hire Rogan as our GM. We can suck and be the joke of the league with our minor league management but be entertaining at least, creating Slap Shot family memories.Who did you have in mind dirk…. I know there is video of Daniel Cormier in hockey gear but I assure you he isn’t a free agent

At this point we mind as sign up to be a reality tv show… insights to a dysfunctional hockey club. Start promoting that we are having amateur tryouts from the street and guarantee a spot to a random beer league guy or goon who would be a fan favorite. He can be our Rudy making league minimum which would be life changing for him. We can also start watching relationship drama from Zegras and his famous girlfriend. Make it like Hard Knocks meets Ultimate Fighter and the Bachelor. Who cares if we win… we get to keep drafting top prospects like it’s a video game in EA sports.We can’t sign Jake Paul - Cronin didn’t coach him in college or the minor leagues!
And he’ll be traded at the deadline for a third-round pick. "Good asset management". But I still hate where this team is at after yesterday.Well, he’s got Cup winning experience and it was a cheap trade. Not expecting a large on-ice impact.

It’s not ideal, but I suppose that’s the way it is. I don’t believe they’ll trade a defenseman.
This was the D pairs I was thinking, maybe Vaak comes in every 2-3 games for Dumo.Well, he’s got Cup winning experience and it was a cheap trade. Not expecting a large on-ice impact.

Also, anyone think after this last draft, Zellweger on the right might be the best long term for? If he pans out and becomes the player we reasonably hope, Solberg might be the perfect partner for Zellweger. Provides the size and snarl that Zellweger won't have along with a dynamic offense that Solberg probably won't.
