Claimed off Waivers: Ducks claim Emerson Etem

[Unholy]

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.

He really needs to fix his tunnel vision if he wants to start being serviceable.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

Welcome home!

I remember when someone posted this video when the Canucks acquired him. I was excited. Then I saw him play and I was no longer excited.

The guy just doesn't do anything. It's like he's not even there.

Luckily for us, he is literally no longer here. I'll take that as a small victory

 

[Duck Off]

Better than Bergenheim at this point though?

no. That's my frustration honestly.

Etem is meh, but I don't mind him for the 4th line, considering how ****** some of the wingers we have. However, I don't understand why we didn't just sign Bergenheim. He was/is better, and did well in the preseason.

All I want for Christmas is a new GM.

There are no words for this deal.

 

[DeltaSwede]

Stings a little losing Etem. Had expected him to find his game in Utica and come back up again.

Ducks though, what are you doing? is your forward depth really that bad?

 

[Pip]

Surprised he was claimed. He sucks

 

[clownshoes]

BM is unbelievable.

yes, the depth is that bad. Etem, Boll, Raymond, Sorenson, Wagner, Garbutt



really, after Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler and Silfverberg, the offense is very underwhelming.

Well, we have one of Cramarossa or Boll taking regular shifts, so Emerson Etem surely can't hurt.


Hopefully he can find his game. His skillset is so appealing, he just doesn't seem like he's capable of putting it together.

 

[FLYLine27*]

WOW! lol

 

[Del Preston]

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.

What did he do?

 

[Fork]

i thought the ducks had cap issues?

 

[robbieboy3686]

Now that Emerson knows this is his absolute last shot, and might be broke by now( the dude has a horrible attitude) he might actually play hard for a check.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Murray has appeared to fix his winger problem.

Not with Etem.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Surprised he was claimed. Kinda funny it was the ducks though.

 

[VanillaCoke]

He can skate fast, has adequate size and looks like he might be able to do something.



But then he doesn't.

Very accurate.

I guess if they want to turn him into a 4th line grinder he could be useful in the NHL. But points are not something he gives a team.

 

[IComeInPeace]

The over/under on him being waived again is set at November 15th.

Cramarossa is headed to San Diego.

Etem cap hit: $775,000

Cramarossa cap hit: $724,500

Cap impact: $50,500

 

[Siludin]

he called the city of buffalo "everything but a white man"..?

Isn't it sort of "in vogue" to rag on how horrible Buffalo is?

Every comedian has a bit about playing shows in Buffalo.

 

[Bruce Granville]

This is funny

 

[Ducks in a row]

Better then Boll so if he is in the lineup and Boll is not I am happy with this.

 

[SenzZen]

Has anyone typed "lol" yet?

 

[Breakers]

Guy has the worst skating stance I have ever seen.

It has gotten worse since Junior.

He is so far hunched over that he can't see the ice and people around him.

His game consists of driving wide and letting off a bad shot.

 

[TT1]

DSP to Anaheim in the near future?

 

[Lord Flashheart]

What did he do?

As an 18 y o kid, that grew up in California, called Buffalo a ghost town (during junior WC). A truly reprehensible behavior.

 

[Shady Machine]

Cool.
