Confirmed with Link: Jared Boll signs with Anaheim

[Vipers31]

Boll was a decent NHL'er a couple years ago. He hasn't been since, and he'll have to show he can still be that to earn a roster spot, so I hope it's another two way deal.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I hate this stupid idiot.

 

[heffbe]

Confirmed now.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Maroon for 600k more >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Boll

 

[Dirk316]

I hate this stupid idiot.

Why?

 

[dracom]

How does Boll get more than Raymond? And it's a two year deal, and one way...the hell is Murray doing?

 

[Dirk316]

Maroon for 600k more >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Boll

Maroon should have never been dealt but Maroon is not an enforcer and would have made no difference whether Boll was signed

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

That's awful for Boll. Well, maybe not, but don't like that he was clearly signed for the big club. Hopefully he's just really good in the room and this is solely for that.

 

[Dirk316]

Because if Raymond is not scoring goals he is useless and brings nothing

 

[Vipers31]

That's more than I hoped. Didn't need a 2nd year, especially with it being a one-way deal. Although I do think he'll be a healthy scratch on a regular basis, and for that he isn't far overpaid.

 

[Dirk316]

Boll was pursued by at least 3 other teams. I guess thats why he was given a 2nd year.

sure, but we know Boll isn't scoring goals or playing hockey. so what's the reasoning in giving Boll that much plus giving him a two year deal?

What is everyone's fascination with Maroon? Dude was invisible and flat out lazy at times. I remember seeing him dogging it at times in training camp..

Maroon couldn't really figure out his niche.. It's like when he was with the twins, he could keep up at times.. But he's just a brutal skater

 

[Duck Off]

this is GARBAGE.

This guy freaking sucks on the ice. We're so freaking strapped for cash that we can't re-sign a great winger for Getzlaf, but we can give this healthy scratch 2 years @900k? **** Murray.

Maroon wasn't good his last year here, but he was still a decent hockey player. Boll is terrible. This ensures that our 4th line gets 3 minutes a game.

This guy should be signed to a 2 way deal, and he gets nearly 1 million, when we're so strapped for cash? GTFO.

Because we're just overflowing with options to play with the twins right now?

Fact is Maroon is at least capable of playing 12 minutes anywhere in the lineup and producing. Boll isn't.

Lol 200k less wouldn't have made a huge difference.

Did you even watch the Ducks during Carlyles last tenure?
The skill player played tougher and less scared because of the prescene of tough players. Players like Boll help players like Perry, Kesler, Wagner and Garbutt because now they can agitate the other teams without fear of getting attacked

 

[DaGeneral]

But it isn't Boll vs Maroon. Never has been.

 

[Duck Off]

Typical Murray excuse.

"it's only 500k retention on Maroon"

"The Fistric buy out doesn't cost much"

Sorry, but these small amounts add up. When we can't compete with 3.7 million for Perron, it's time to start calling **** moves like these out.

Do you really think those players are scared of getting attacked?

 

[Ducks in a row]

Terrible

 

[Unholy]

Two?! Oh no no

it's about our GM having some decent vision. He panicked and retained on a far inferior player in Maroon, and now he gives this AHL enforcer 900k a season? It should be ridiculously obvious that fighters, who can play have value.

It's just very frustrating to have a GM that can't see beyond one season. Most of the people will chalk it up to "not that big of a deal" because it's not a giant overpayment. However, I call BS when we keep seeing things like this, and then we can't afford to pay a needed player decent money. Small things like this are why. He's clueless.

You realize Murray could just be posturing about Perron? Easy way out was to blame the RFA contracts. You never know what happens in those negotiations. No GM makes perfect moves, but more often than not, Murray handles business
