Confirmed Trade: [ARI/LAK] Sean Durzi to the Coyotes for MTL's 2nd round pick in the 2024 draft

Im iust glad durzi recovered after this

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Yes, he's an offensive D, that's what they do; they score points, and their defense is usually left to be desired

Durzi is a Joe Corvo / MA Bergeron type, and there's nothing wrong with that

He should score 40-50pts in ARZ while committing a blunder here and there every game or so

True but it were a lot of blunders.

Jack Johnson vibes. He was somewhat “always“ on the ice when a goal against was scored.

Pretty solid passer and good human being.

Sean Durzi aka the Oilers’ meal ticket.

You are a very cruel person

Sarangovich to AZ for a 3rd and 4th next

IMO the Yotes paid too much

Classic case of an offensive dman who is detrimental to team because his D is atrocious.

I am sure some nonsense analytics will be pulled up to say "No he is actually great" or some nonsense to defend him

He is as bad as Gus from what I have seen

Well it would be hard to replicate the Ghost trade, they paid us to take him..

besides we have an abundance 2nd and 3rd round picks..I am jus glad it was 2024 not a 2023 pick

 

[Llewzaher]

Durzi has some upside, but he needs to be used correctly.

He really struggled at even strength this year.

A lot of people who are praising this deal for AZ probably haven't watched Durzi actually play.

Well at least he is still only 24 and we have a good coach .. hopefully he can improve.

And then the kings thought it would be a good idea to bring him back next year and do it all over again. Always liked his character but dumb as an ice cube.

I like how you pick one clip with him up against the best player in the world. McDavid has made many players better that Durzi look like idiots.

I didn't pick the clip, I replied to it. Durzi completely stopped playing, so actually Durzi made Durzi look like an idiot. As a 35+ year Kings fan, I saw basically every game he played. I assure you that was far from his lone bozo moment.

Why should Habs fans have all the fun crashing a Kings-Yotes trade thread

Huh? It's the Habs 2nd rounder that was traded. It 100% has influence from them

 

[Ghetty Green]

Wasn’t he the second coming of Bobby Orr? At least Sandin got us a first. Just funny how quickly the fickle fans change their tune. A year ago this guy was untouchable.

Lol what ? Untouchable? Now you're just blatantly lying. Leaves fans so sensitive

 

[bland]

Lol what ? Untouchable? Now you're just blatantly lying. Leaves fans so sensitive

Yeah, that's some pretty strong BS.

The best thing about Durzi is his courage. He really honestly wants to be a difference maker and would be a decent third pairing defender if it weren't for needing room for two better players in Spence and Clarke.

But untouchable? That's nonsense. I have been reasonably supportive of him, but he commits so many mistakes that just aren't acceptable at this level. His coverages are just so poor. Late on reads, too slow for his size, but competes as hard as he can.

Getting a 2nd round pick in exchange for an open slot for a better player with some small cap relief is a goid deal for the Kings.

I was afraid he'd be coming back in a Dubois trade. Pretty happy rn ngl
