Former Ducks (2024-25 edition)

It was a a bit heartwarming to see Perry and Montour with the long hug after the handshake line.
btw, did anyone else hear them mention Perry had said this was not his last game, and that he intends to keep playing? (assuming someone wants him).

perry should come back to anaheim for a season and retire here. plus it'll save him the heartache of losing in yet another SCF
I'd be all for bringing back Pears for 1M/1.5M and in a limited mentoring role. He definitely deserves - needs! - to retire a Duck.
Edit: with the rebrand coming in, it really would be full circle and a wonderful story if he retired in, basically, the jersey/logo he began his pro career in.

Wouldn't mind him teaching Cutter and McTavish how to be pests and do the 'whoops I accidently crashed into the other teams goalie, refs it was an accident I swear'.
Would be too funny seeing Perry pull a Perry against the Flyers and then Gauthier following suit the next shift.
I think Perry would be a fine add but hes Cup chasing. We wont really ever know but I assume they only reason he signed is CHI was the money and a promise they would trade him at the deadline to a contender.

Fire Greg Cronin!
Eh, I think everyone understands who and what he is at this point in his career. Hes going to get you 20-25 points and be a 4th liner who you can use on a 2nd PP

Some people here should really listen to Rico explain why playing for a rebuilding team wouldn't be high on the list of things UFAs value...

With Jones moving on, our entire 2016 draft class is now gone. Our 2017 class is also gone

Holly smokes. I was just thinking about him the other day. Can't believe he is still playing.

He was actually a very good player for European standards until the 2023 Worlds, where he was selected All- tournament alongside Seider. After that, his tank was just empty and he fell off a cliff.
Goes to show the Oilers have been a shit organization ever since Gretzky left. Which makes it 36 years and therefore more than a human generation. I just wished McJesus and Drai could go and play somewhere else.
Robert Hägg to Anaheim: “Why did you even sign me at all?”
Last month, while he was still considering his options for the 2024-25 season, Robert Hägg gave an interview with a Swedish reporter for Expressen.se where he expressed some of his disappointment with how things worked out in Anaheim.
Now, after signing a one-year, two-way contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, the 29-year-old Swedish defenseman has opened up more, according to website HockeyNews.se.

I'm all for transparency, and I'm sympathetic to Hagg. Perhaps the organization should have been more forthright with him.
On the other hand, Robert Hagg is not good. He might get some time in Vegas as an injury call-up, but he's not long for the NHL methinks.

Also, he had a 1-way contract so he got the money either way. Teams don't plan for NHL contracts to be in the AHL, sometimes it just happens. Honestly Hägg should have seen it coming.
We don't know what was said or promised or how much player should have bought into it. Fact is now he has a two-way deal with Vegas with slim chances of getting NHL time. So, did he not get the best deal possible and it just didn't work out? And Ducks probably bombed their AHL budget in the meantime.

if they promised hagg a spot with the big club and then sent him right to SD, then that's a bad look for the FO
but its not like hagg is even an NHL caliber player at this point. he's nothing more than an AHL body to call up when there's injuries

Lol... I get why he's disappointed he didn't get to play NHL games, but acting like the organization did him dirty because he lost his spot to guys like Mintyukov, Luneau, and LaCombe who the team is obviously more invested in is pretty funny. If things were that bad here, could've refused to report to the AHL and gotten a termination to test the market but I guess the one way salary was enough to keep him happy until the Samuelis stopped being the ones giving him his paychecks. And if anyone was prepared to give him NHL minutes, he wouldn't have cleared waivers.
