GDT: Game 74: Sharks @ Ducks 7:00pm NBCSCA

[TheBeard]

Hannan's up in the booth. He could probably suit up and manhandle some people.

Not with that stupid Mohawk

 

[Bizz]

I miss Ehrhoff...

Name the last time a "hidden gem" or "established NHLer" who is better than a 4th liner was acquired for a 4th round pick.

the list would go on and on........

 

[Lebanezer]

I will also be surprised to see Smith win even a participation trophy in the NHL as well.

Ostapchuk isn't an established 4th liner. That's like saying Ferraro is an establish top pairing Dman.

To clarify my point - you can use that pick to try and draft a hidden gem (Players drafted in the 4th line include Ekholm, Savard, Nyquist, J.G. Pageau, Copp, Anderson, Toews, etc.) OR you can use it in a trade for an established 4th liner - literally you mentioned Kunin (he is an established 4th liner).

Using it on a player that you hope can develop into a 4th liner is a waste of an asset.

I'm not saying Ostapchuk is an established 4th liner, I'm saying that established NHLers better than 4th liners don't get traded for 4th round picks unless they're attached to awful contracts.

We should trade Filip Bystedt for a 4th rounder in this case. He's not going to be anything better than a fourth liner by your standards.

Good on Georgiev for making some big saves but man, is he not able to physically close his glove, I’ve never seen rebounds pop out of a glove like that

Where's Mike Ricci or Ryane Clowe when you need them.

 

[Mrs Ski]

And the Ducks uniforms are UGLY!

 

[Star Platinum]

If only we set the right lines, had a better system, and our team of half-AHLers played like top line NHLers, maybe we wouldn't be a bad team any more!

 

[Hodge]

the list would go on and on........

Even one non-rental example would suffice.

 

[Lebanezer]

I’d like an entire new bottom 6 next year.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

And the Ducks uniforms are UGLY!

They look like Pumpkins. I even miss the black at this stage.

 

[karltonian]

why the f*** is this team so bad

 

[karltonian]

not liking will smith's effort level the last while.

 

[Hodge]

Eklund needs to stop playing like shit.

 

[Star Platinum]

We got a 4th round pick for two months of Luke Kunin. I just don't know what to say to you if you think two months of Luke Kunin is worth more than Zack Ostapchuk.

 

[bluefunnel]

Wennberg!!!

 

[Lebanezer]

What a pass.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Eklund needs to stop playing like shit.

Perfect timing!

 

[hohosaregood]

noice pass

 

[Friday]

Really hate to get points from this game. But seriously I hate the Ducks

 

[Hodge]

Eklund needs to stop playing like shit.

That'll work.

 

[karltonian]

gol. but f*** that still looked like shit.

Thinking Ostapchuk is better than Kunin is why I'm okay with being blocked

 

[OrrNumber4]

Great shift from Wennberg.

Feels like the past couple of games can be explained by Celebrini going through a mini-slump.
