I am so dumb. In my head I was like "I know he's not making much but they need all available space for Lindholm." without even thinking that he will be replacing someone. Disregard....it's still early

Not a bad pickup. If he plays like he did in the preseason he's at best a replacement level player, but if he plays like he did at the end of last season he's a real solid fourth liner. Would have really liked to have kept him for depth, but won't lose any sleep over it. He wasn't worth much more than a nice bag of pucks.

The Ducks created a monster
Cause nobody wants to see Murray no more -
They want Etem - he's chopped liver.
Well if you want Etem this is what he'll give ya
A waiver claim mixed with some cap figures

For those interested, this would have cost Anaheim $41,250, not counted against the cap, paid to Vancouver.

That's what I keep telling everyone!
That Patrick Kane kid and his 145 points in 58 games is going nowhere!
They're indicators, but just as any stat should never be looked at in a vacuum. Who were they playing for/with in junior? How was their size, skating? Where were they drafted to? What's their style, whose the coach? Teammates, depth? So many other factors, but junior stats usually indicates a potential.

Will be a solid addition for the Ducks' 4th line - especially if it means Boll and Raymond are on borrowed time on the NHL roster.
To be fair even around the time he was drafted and after his +1 year there were plenty of questions about Etem's hockey IQ and ability to be a scorer at the NHL level as he seemed overly reliant on his speed and size opposed to his skill no matter how many points he was putting up.

Both Etem and Linden Vey are prolific goal scorers. This was proven in Medicine Hat why they have not been able to convert to the NHL is a little baffling. Of course the competition was not as good but its had to believe that both should not be 20 goal guys in the NHL.
Of all the sloppy seconds the Ducks have grabbed from vancouver recently, Etem is by far the sloppiest.

Stop accepting failure
He's been a garbage player and human since day one. Can't wait until he's out of the scope of hockey for good.

LOL, the optics of this are pretty funny Regardless, I think this is a decent pickup by the Ducks. He has size, speed, and is a serviceable 4th liner. As noted by another poster, he likely takes Cramarossa's spot, and he's better than Cramarossa. I do think he has the upside to be a decent 3rd liner, too.

Must be a new injury because Cramarossa doesn't seem on waivers and i doubt Sorensen sent down.
Edit : Cramarossa is on waivers.
But they still have a player over the limit today until noon tomorrow.
