Proposal: Nyr/ana

[slg1963]

You're missing the point. Bieksa has 1 year left and can be bought out prior to the expansion draft if he refuses to waive for it. Girardi has 4 years left on a nearly buy-out proof contract. Do you not see the issue with that?

I see what you are saying but that is the cost of doing business , and you get closer to signing your stud defenseman .

Clearly. Because there are no other options besides let Lindholm walk or taking Girardi. <is there an eyeroll emoji I'm missing? if so it goes here>

Might have missed one.

But it's so nice of them to do us that favor, isn't it?

Look , let me spell it out for you . No team is going to give you a break because of your cap problems thus your trading from a point of weakness . The longer you wait and the more games you lose the price drops , every team in the league knows this , so take it on the chin and make a move so you can get your Dman back into action .

" Let Lindholm walk " that is the craziest thing I have read today . Never let your best defenseman go for nothing EVER

I kind of think you missed his point there.

He was saying that Anaheim's options aren't limited to letting Lindholm walk, or taking Girardi.

You seem incapable of recognizing the difference between doing the "Ducks a solid and gifting them the cap space" and taking on the defenseman version of the Clarkson contract.

That's not even addressing that you are overlooking the fact that Bieksa will not waive. That nullifies the whole thing since having to protect Bieksa and Girardi would mean having to give away Fowler or Vatanen for free.... and if they were going to that they'd just do it now without having to take on the 5.5M anchor that is Dan Girardi.

I agree with you on the Girardi comment lol . Well I only wish you good luck on what your team is seeking .

This whole deal is terrible for Anaheim. Now we have to protect Girardi and Bieksa? Not worth the small savings we get. Or if we stick with the original proposal, we HAVE to protect Girardi instead of either having Bieksa waive or have his last year bought out. It's a bad proposal from the Ducks side and just hurts our present and future.

This^
I overlooked that while otherwise copacetic, it does result in Ducks having 2 NMC Ds.

Yikes!
