Very true. IMHO Cutter has a little more upside in terms of long term value to our rebuild, mainly due to his combo of size and high end shot that are severely lacking in our system. We need more high end players that can push some weight around when needed.

I guess I don't value the draft pick as much as some, even if it's a high 2nd. The chance of that pick becoming a high end NHL player is so low and so far away that it's worth the toss in.

LaCombe, Colangelo, Zellweger, Luneau, Clara, and Pettersson have been 2nd round picks for us the last 6 years.

I have zero issues giving up that second for Gauthier. Obviously, we'll see what he becomes, but the risk was worth it to get a scorer like he projects to be.

LaCombe, Colangelo, Zellweger, Luneau, Clara, and Pettersson have been 2nd round picks for us the last 6 years.

I mean the jury is still out on all of those guys, barring maybe LaCombe at this point. But I will concede that the Ducks hit on dmen seemingly much more consistently than other teams, so maybe in that context if we used it on a defender it would have more value to us.

I guess I meant more of the timeline involved. We've had a decent amount of "darts" used on 2nd/3rd rounders over the past few drafts that we're hoping will start coming to fruition in the next couple years. Losing a dart in the 2025 draft that at best will probably become an okay NHL player in 2028-2029 is worth it (IMO) for the upside of pushing the Gauthier deal over the edge.

I'm also guessing there's going to be more TDL deals and picks to be had this season once we're out of contention, with Vatrano being the biggest one.

So looks like the ducks have hired personal to do blogs and take videos, photos. etc. I guess only approved personal are allowed to do that..

From Duck My Life, videos and pictures are not allowed for the "open" practice. It's crazy.

I know every team pretty much has a person they bring in for the season but I still love that the ducks do this.

What I don't love was Terry leaning in to try and pet a obviously stressed out dalmatian.

Hoping for continued success to Frenchie.

thanks @mightyquack !

The bullet about us “having a lot of good young RHD so trading Drysdale was ok” is a bit weird to me.

He must be really high on Luneau AND he must think we can sign Moore.

Because we really don’t have a lot of good young RHD

Not criticizing the trade that’s just an interesting quote

I also think Verbeek is a lot higher on Warren than many fans. Different style, but a RHD.

This was a good little interview with Dost. He’s good friends apparently with Barbora Krejcikova who won Wimbledon and he was there to support her (i noticed him in the crowd too haha). Seems like a great guy, love seeing him play well.

This isn't really Ducks related but would anyone have recommendations for relatively short (think of an hour in length) daily show (podcast, video, any media) where they would go through results and topics league wide?

I don't have any recommendations for a daily show, but The Puck Podcast is a weekly show where they do exactly what you're looking for. It's about a 2.5 hour show that usually includes the results and league-wide news, plus an interview or some other special topic, and then a mailbag portion. It's hosted by two SoCal residents - one a Ducks fan and one a Kings fan, but they do a good job of covering the entire league.

Nice, thank you! I will check them out. For a weekly show 2.5 hours should be alright.
