What's Your Ideal D Lineup For Next Season

[2faded]

Mods if this needs to be moved to the lineup discussion go for it, but I was looking for opinions just on the D for next year and I didn't want to read through a bunch of other posts.

Assuming that whatever player(s) you want to be traded can be traded, what is your ideal D lineup from the Ducks current roster?

I would like:

Fowler-Theodore
Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Holzer

I know that's extremely unrealistic but what is your best D lineup for next season?

[AngelDuck]

Fowler moved for top end young forward talent

Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Theodore-Bieksa

 

[Opak]

Lindholm - Manson
Fowler - Vatanen
Stoner - Theodore
Holzer - Montour

Despres gets traded for a forward, both Lindholm and Vatanen get team-friendly extensions and Bieksa somehow gets ejected. Would not be opposed to moving Stoner either, but Bieksa's the bigger priority due to the NMC.

 

[anezthes]

Fowler - Despres
Lindholm - Manson
Theodore - Bieksa

 

[Spazkat]

Fowler moved for top end young forward talent

Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Theodore-Bieksa

I like this one, although in my dream scenario we've fired Bieksa off into the sun and Montour gets a spot somewhere

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Fowler moved for top end young forward talent

Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Theodore-Bieksa

Yup if we can get someone like Sam Reinhart.

 

[Boo Boo]

Fowler-Despres
Lindholm-Vatanen
Theo-Manson

or

Fowler-Despres
Lindholm-manson
Theo- Baeksa

we need to move some parts out of the organization.. not a fan of this expansion draft and our internal cap

 

[Nordic*]

Please don't trade Fowler.

 

[OCSportsfan]

Fowler moved for top end young forward talent

Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Theodore-Bieksa

I agree with this. I think Fowler is moved and we sign Vatanen.

 

[KelVarnsen]

I agree with this. I think Fowler is moved and we sign Vatanen.

I think a lot will depend on the playoffs. IMO whoever shines in the PO'S stays.

 

[ShadowDuck]

Lindholm-Manson
Despres-Vatanen
Bieksa-Theodore
Stoner

 

[darkwingduck]

Fowler-despres
Hampus-Manson
Theo-bieksa
Lovejoy

Trade vats and stoner, sign lovejoy

 

[Spazkat]

Fowler-despres
Hampus-Manson
Theo-bieksa
Lovejoy

Trade vats and stoner, sign lovejoy

Err.... why? We have Holzer who is better and cheaper

 

[darkwingduck]

Idk, you can sign both. But chances are despres will get injured at somepoint and lovejoy has played decent with cam.

 

[snarktacular]

Lovejoy hasn't payed decent with Cam since 13-14.

 

[Teemu Kariya]

Lovejoy hasn't payed decent with Cam since 13-14.

We need him for decent interviews.

The Fowler opponents on here hate him because he isn't what they wanted him to be, and in that emotion miss him for the different player he has now become.

 

[Terry Yake]

i have a feeling it'll be vatanen who's moved. not fowler

no way they trade despres. that would be very stupid

i'm hoping bieksa goes and montour takes his place

Well yeah, when the player himself admits he struggles to play to his ability, why wouldn't there be a manifestation of frustration/anger among the fanbase?
Unless you're satisfied with the inconsistent player he has become? Is that what you're saying here? We should be satisfied with him? and look past his stats and impact on the game?

There's always the potential miracle that Stoner and Bieksa are the ones that go.

Being unsatisfied is not the same as irrational dislike on the border of obsession.

Sounds like calvin klein ad copy.

I like the way you've shown your work, while solving the equation...
