Former Ducks 2022

[Terry Yake]

0 pts in 7 games and a -6 in the german league lol

this is what we traded montour for

There is not a single former duck playing better on another team that surprises me. With the exception of Mahura, all of them are playing on significantly better teams.

Steel will probably put up 40 points this season and 35 of them will be because he existed on a line with Kaprizov

0 pts in 7 games and a -6 in the german league lol

There is the Bob murray arbitration theory but I was so mad we traded him. I was one of probably 5 montour jersey owners lol

 

[Arthuros]

Steel is killin it.

Yeeeeeah, but now he's not allowed to score for the rest of the year, so it's gonna be a tough sell for that top line.

Using that same logic, Lindholm was traded for Vaaks. I think we all know which one was an egregious trade.

the lindholm trade is looking worse and worse by the day

It is going to take years to fully evaluate the Lindholm trade. The Ducks basically got Vaaks, a 2022 first that turned into Gaucher, and a 2023 second for Lindholm. They also got a 2024 second for taking on the Moore salary. Vaaks has his moments of competent play, but is apparently injury prone. If it were just Lindholm for Vaaks it would be one of the most horrible trades in Ducks history. But Lindholm for the entire package could result in a decent return for the Ducks. Or it could still go down as one of the most horrible trades in Ducks history.

Gaucher will almost certainly be an NHL player, but where in the lineup he plays is uncertain at this time. We are probably going to have to wait at least another 3 ½ years to see Gauther play with the Ducks, and only then will we be able to evaluate him and his potential career. By then Lindholm's play could be deteriorating. Remember, with the Ducks we could count on Lindholm missing 10 - 15 games a year from injuries. As he ages that could get worse.

The 2023 second for Lindholm probably has a 33% chance of being an NHL player, but we haven't picked yet, know nothing about him at this point, and have no idea whether he works out or not. He is probably a 2027 or 2028 presence on the Ducks if he makes the team.

Aside from the hair Getz's son is exactly like him

Yeah, I got the same vibe. But Papa Getzy also had a pretty strong hair until it started escaping from what I remember (mostly from pictures). We'll see what happens with Ryder in 15 years

 

[snowave]

LOL... Kid is a champ. Are any of his kids playing hockey yet? I know they're all pretty young.

Isn't the baldness gene inherited from mother's side? So Ryder should check out the men in his mum's family haha

NHL99: Chris Pronger's objective on the ice wasn't 'to make friends,' but to win

One of the NHL's all-time great defensemen is happy away from the game ... but might return in some capacity for "a unique opportunity."

Talk about the type of person and player this team needs at the moment. Damn I miss this guy.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Not the finest moment for our guy lol

 

[Quack Shot]

Not a former duck, but don’t want to make a whole new thread just for this

There’s a panorama picture that used to be for sale of Honda Center right after the 04/08/2011, 2-1, win versus the Kings. Does anyone know where I can buy that? I can’t find it anywhere anymore. I used to see it at the sports place in the local mall, but then I was broke and didn’t have a place of my own.

Complete punk move by Gallagher going for the late low bridge attempt at the knees, good on Montour for the response

Reminds me of that hit on Peca by....somebody. Tucker?

Had the exact same thought

My god, 20 years ago??

It's almost half a season and Brandon Montour is on pace for 69 points.

For comparison, only Scott Niedermayer has scored so much in our franchise history. Obviously his output would not be as high here, but it still, makes you think. Theo, Monty...

Yeah, but he is difficult to play with ...

The only comment I would make is that Buffalo gave up on Montour as well. Sometimes it takes the right coach, the right team, the right situation for a player to bloom.

Fitting that the elusive 7th goal was as Steel-esque as possible lol

Plus, his offense was never questioned. Nut like you said, BUF also was not a good place for him.
