Maybe I'm an idiot but I read him talking about tampering to mean that he avoided mentioning a specific player yesterday. Like he had to stop himself from mentioning who he wants to go after.
Not sure how else it makes sense otherwise, although he did also mention Rantanen signing IIRC

I don't think it's really much of an issue. I mean i basically all but forgot about him. Kind of hard to believe Pat was depending on him in any way and yes easily addressed in other ways.

Chiclets are going to look really stupid if Moore does indeed end up signing with us. If I remember correctly, they made some dramatic declaration that Moore would rather play in Alaska than for the Ducks.

I remember someone mentioning that on here, but I don’t recall any of them saying that on their podcast. Maybe it was on their spinoff podcast with Murley and Armstrong? I don’t listen to that one so I can’t say for sure.
I don’t recall that either and I’ve never missed an episode

Colangelo taking "an NHL step" is a good way to phrase it I think.

They are pretty f***ing stupid when it comes to Anaheim. I wouldn't surprised if Whitney had a grudge against the Ducks.
So for anyone saying taxes arent an issue, heres your confirmation that taxes ARE an issue. To what degree? who knows. But the fact that agents ask for more simply because of the taxes shows they are at least on the table of possible issues when trying to sign a player.
As long as they dont get rid of the Vatrano-like contacts in the next CBA, sounds like they might have a structure for at least helping out with that issue though.
More like it’s something agents use as leverage. I’m sure they don’t go to FL teams and say “hey take 10% offf the offer since you don’t have taxes.”
It’s their job to get the most money and it’s something they use.

I think he liked the Ducks while Getz was here, but now that Getz is gone he has no connection to us
I think the SC view of the Ducks is a little more nuanced than just being thoroughly against anything and everything about the team. I don't see SC being against the players on the team at all. They just seem to have a bone to pick with Cronin and maybe Verbeek as well - in the past it's been Carlyle and probably Murray. If anything theyve tried to do what they think is supportive of the players by coming out with all that stuff about Cronin. I think they want the players to be successful.
