it should be eggplant like the original.

Teams need to stop obsessing with black.

This was a top 5 jersey of all time IMO.

It was perfect. New one is so busy, although I can imagine it'll look okay on the ice.

Trouba hearing started 44 hours ago iirc. 4 hours left for the Jets to sign him long term.

Edit: Well, they have 48h after the hearing has ended, so they still have a couple of hours or so.

I was about to post and say how the Ducks old school jersey/logo was completely overrated and it’s a classic case of nostalgia taking over, but then you posted this photo and I realized I’ve never been more wrong. It’s a really pretty jersey.

1 year $5.5M for Trouba and the Jets. It begins.

 

[agentblack]

oh boy

 

[Foppberg]

I would love to have Trouba on this team.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

When will he be a UFA?

I assume they can fit him at that number

 

[Avs_19]

I think Trouba gave people some hope with his comments after the playoffs but it always seemed like a matter of when, not if, he'd be traded.

 

[Balthazar]

Trouba is what the doctor ordered for Toronto...now i don't know if they'd trade him to another contender and for what.

I would love to have Trouba on this team.

In the list of teams that need Trouba, we'd be near dead last.

 

[Ceremony]

I'll say what I said in the main board thread: when I first saw that Ducks jersey I just thought it was cheap looking with the shoulders, like it's a really bad fake. Then today I realised it was black rather than purple and, er, woof. Awful. Quite easily the ugliest jersey in the league.

Never spoke about need, just that I love Trouba.

2020. I guess, he'll be traded within a year.

That new jersey has got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much going on with it to truly be good but it is a good reminder that the Ducks actually did have something good going on with those eggplant-and-teal uniforms. I was kinda ambivalent on the weird black/gold/orange numbers they currently wear but can't stand the current iteration with the traffic-cone piping on the shoulders.

 

[Ivan13]

Probably in the vast minority, but I always disliked those jerseys, cheesy, over the top and looked like something an IHL team would not want to wear.

That's more than he's worth

He'll absolutely be traded , some team will overpay for him .

Quick question, why did Chicago have to dump Hossa's contract if they're just gonna LTIR him anyway? I thought teams were technically allowed to exceed the cap threshold if they were compliant by a certain deadline.

They have to be compliant day 1 with Hossa on the books, then LTIR and call up the players they needed to send down to clear. It can be a hurdle for a team right up next to the cap. Not insurmountable, but would have been a bit of a pain for them for the next couple seasons.

Okay, that makes sense then, thanks.
