Confirmed with Link: [ANA/SJ] Henry Thrun for 2024 3rd round pick

[MMC]

1 1st, 2 2nds, and 2 3rds in 2024 now

 

[Gliff]

This is basically a late 2nd. Honestly a really good return for a guy we 100% knew would not sign here.

Edit: Woops, 2024 not 2023. Still a good return.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Makes perfect sense, Thrun has to consider his career first. This improves his odds of playing at least some time in the NHL tremendously.

It definitely makes sense, you just don’t often see it. Guys often look at NHL openings or location, which I suppose I can’t blame them for, not prospect depth. It’s nice to see, even if it kind of didn’t work out in our favour on this one.

Although that last line might be debatable too. A likely high third round pick might be a coup even regardless of the circumstances.

 

[Terry Yake]

at least he didn't pull a schultz and wait until the last minute

 

[Static]

That's a nice job. Even for my disappointment that he didn't sign I do appreciate that thrun was honest and told them way ahead of time. That isn't nothing in this world.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Thrun has been one of my favorite prospects since he was drafted. Sucks he didn’t want to sign, but at least he allowed the team to recoup some profit.

Looks like pv loading up for another bad season

 

[Kalv]

Turned a 4th in a 3rd, albeit with a 5-year delay (this sucks). But it could have been worse. Especially knowing SJ will suck next season as well, so that 3rd should be close to a late 2nd.

Some of our 3rd round picks from the past years:

Hinds
Pastujov
Moore
Dostal
Mahura
Andersen

 

[Ducks DVM]

This is a fantastic return all things considered

 

[Ducks DVM]

Bright side, he will play a lot of games here if we want to give him the Schultz treatment.

It's tempting... but at least he notified us and let us work out a trade. For that alone, I shall not boo him every time he touches the puck.

A fair point. But, it’s the Sharks. Fair chance I’d be booing anyway

 

[TheStuntman]

Getting a 3rd rounder is really awesome under the circumstances. With the Ducks history in scouting and drafting, the 3rd rounder will probably be a solid prospect in 2-3 years lol.

Hopefully, it's more Home Thrun and less Henry.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Wow, that kinda sucks especially if he signs with them and not us. Oh well, Zell/Minty/Lacombe are all more dynamic than he is

I wish they had a clause in the trade ''Ducks can only draft a defenseman or a goalie with this pick''. Then I would feel very comfortable actually, we have a great track record with that

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Good recovery by Verbeek and thanks to Thrun informing us ahead of time as well as where he wanted to be traded to.

I thought Thrun and LaCombe had a pathway to the NHL with the Ducks this year and next season. Thrun brings an element most of our D-prospects don't have... that defensive D trait. And if Thrun was that good, then someone else would have to be displaced and he stays in Anaheim.

What's done is done and Verbeek played it safe by drafting 3 defensemen in the 2022 draft with our first four picks in the first two rounds.

If he signs with the Sharks, then it is clear he did not sign with us because of the logjam of LHD we have.

Anaheim has an excellent track record of developing defensemen, and the Sharks are even further away from competing than we are. But they present a much clearer path to the NHL than us.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

E5: Thrun final piece to complete EK to Oil. Gets around Thrun not wanting to sign in Canada.

I dunno. Manson wasn't prevented from being a part of the NHL club. Vats was drafted in 2009. Welinski was drafted in the 4th round in 2011 as Manson went in the 6th round in 2011 too. We drafted Monty in 2014 as well. All those righties didn't deter Manson.

 

[AngelDuck]

Good riddance. I hope they get a stud with the pick they got for him. Would be glorious

 

[cheesymc]

A great return for someone who openly stated that he wouldn't sign. There must have been decent demand since we got an early 3rd and didn't get low balled... now hope he doesn't come out producing like Schulz and becomes more of a Welinski.

I don't understand why Thrun would be open to sign in SJ over us... He or Beavis could have easily taken Shattenkirk's spot.

 

[Kalv]

... He or Beavis could have easily taken Shattenkirk's spot.

If LaCombe doesn't sign with us, I'm blaming you

 

[Boo Boo]

I don’t want to sound too bitter cause I am happy that he gets to choose his own destiny and that’s rare in this industry but let’s not act like he didn’t string us along until like two weeks ago.

He could have told us at any point in the last 4 years if he wasn’t sure about signing. See ya.

 

[Rasp]

I thought he wanted to play in the east...
