This is 100% copium on my part but I take the “no recording” stance as the team taking this really seriously.

I feel like the teams who post the most during the pre-season are like the meme-iest, worst teams.

As opposed to actually landing top talents during the summer? Anyhow, some playoff teams have their practices being shared online by the org and fans like Boston. Also, we know most of what Cronin's doing b/c it was all streamed last year.

It just seems very odd b/c what Teats said about moving onto Victory+ and KCOP was to increase the Ducks' viewership. The Duck My Life YouTube channel also increased the Ducks' viewership as DML cited they have fans from all over the world. Their streaming made more fans of the Ducks.

The new restrictions are what they are.

"I'm looking at him being a really good mentor to our young guys," Verbeek stated at training camp on Friday. "We can kind of plop him with some our offensive defensemen, and he'll be kind of the steady stay-at-home guy. I hear nothing but great things about his character, the person he is, and I think he's going to be awesome for our young guys."

"He's such a dynamic skater and can make a play out of nothing," Dumoulin said of playing with Zellweger. "He's a fun player to watch, and it's been good just to communicate with him and talk with him and read, playing with him, what type of partner he is."

"He's playing his off-side, so I just wanted to let him know that if he ever gets stuck on the left, that I'm fine on the right," Dumoulin continued. "It's just constant communication to feel each other out. If I'm going to go D-to-D with him, whether he likes it on his forehand or on his backhand. It's just these little game situations that once you get into the game, you look good because it comes easy."

Dumoulin expresses the importance of communication and connecting with the individuals in the locker room as people as much as players, a similar sentiment head coach Greg Cronin greatly values.

"He just demonstrates professionalism when you talk to him," Cronin said of Dumoulin on Thursday. "Somebody like him who's won two (Stanley) Cups and is so excited to contribute here, it's really nice to hear."

I still think we have to pair fowler with Gudas... When fowler was at his best is when he had a steady right handed dman next to him....

I know he's not really the guy we were hoping for but I think the addition of Dumo + Gudas as captain could be great for the locker room

If Dumoulin proves to be a good partner for Zellweger and we end up moving Fowler, probably have to look at extending him
I think this is what we’re hoping happens, and we’re helping our cause by letting him play on his natural side( reminds me of how we seem to maybe have a hand shake deal with gudas that if he signed for the ducks, we wouldn’t over work him)

It's seeming like the plan is

Fowler / Luneau
Mintyukov / Gudas
Dumoulin / Zellweger
With LaCombe, Vaaks and possibly Lindstrom filling where needed or where injury dictates.

I really want Luneau to start in the AHL. I get that the NHL team is likely better with him on it, but I really think they should give him the Zellweger treatment and spend 2/3 of the year in the AHL.

He might be the second most important piece to pan out after Leo. The desperately need him to atleast be a #2/3. They have other shots at every position. RHD is the only position they really only have 1 legit shot at a top line/pairing guy.

I dont mind Luneau in AHL... but i think hes going to make the NHL team... and play impactful game... i dont think him going to AHL or NHL is going to change what he becomes down the line.... i think hes going to become a #2-3 pretty comfortably.
