Speculation: 2019-20 Anaheim Ducks Roster Discussion

[Duck Off]

looking at capfriendly, and it looks like we're likely to have the most cap space available when the season starts, with maybe behind 2 or 3 teams. There are A LOT of teams who need to shed salary. Murray should be taking major advantage of someone.

Shattenkirk @50% retainined + 2nd + 4th for Eaves and Sieloff (contract purposes) is something I'd offer to NYR. That's a lot, but there's not a lot of teams who can help any of these guys out.

Watching Shattenkirk in NY he never really played up to that contract. I think a different scenery will do him better. Also had some injuries and was rarely playing 100% or even close to it. I think the Rangers would just want futures at this point or maybe a prospect cannot take on another roster player.

I think he would fit well in the Ducks top 4. Would also get a little more offense from the D which is really needed.

Plus we might still LTIR Kesler/Eaves... that's a combined 10 mil cap hit right now for the 19/20 season ...

I'm all for taking on cap dumps for extra draft picks.

same long as they're 1 year deals

Aside from Shattenkirk, I wouldn't mind Mike Green for this year. Could be a decent semi-sheltered 3rd pair with Larsson and hopefully he'd be a good boost for the PP with more talent around him.

I logged on to make exactly this type of proposal around Shattenkirk. Murray has been far too passive in using the ducks temporary space due to Kesler and Eaves being on LTIR. The only complication I see is will Eaves try to play this year?

Please for the love of god sign Shattenkirk

 

[91Fedorov]

I wonder if the Samueli's might want to sit on that cap space and save the money. In their eyes, it might offset the years they spent to the cap and will spend to the cap again. I'm not saying I want that, but I could see it happening. And if that's the cost of spending to the cap in the other years I'm almost ok with it.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I just see Bob Murray missing the boat on this. IMO somebody else will sign him.

 

[quackquackquack]

Shatty to Anaheim makes too much sense to happen. Bob's probably taking his extended afternoon nap and will miss his chance.

 

[Static]

The guy has been awful ever since his knee injury. I'd be pretty cautious about that...

 

[ShadowDuck]

Don’t see Shat coming here, I think he’ll go to a contender on a cheap deal. Plus he was pretty terrible last year.

 

[dracom]

Shattenkirk isn't even a good PP guy at this point.

 

[tomd]

No desire for Shattenkirk now that he was bought out. Rather the Ducks get Chase Priskie on 8/15. Remember that the Ducks are currently at 48 contracts so they have only two open spots left. Wouldn't waste one on Shattenkirk.

Has there been a link to Anaheim? Would be a great opportunity for him, A Right handed PP capable Dman is probably the org biggest need at the moment.

Yes there has. Chris Peters, the prospect guy from ESPN and a good writer, said that sources have told him us and Carolina are the likeliest landing spot for him. Would be a nice coup.

There was some earlier tweets speculating that Anaheim and Carolina were either showing the most interest or were in some manner the front runners to sign him. I don't have them but I'm sure you can search this site for his name and find them. It does seem like a perfect match for both team and player for the reasons you mentioned. Fingers crossed.

 

[Static]

Seems like there is more smoke for him and Carolina but then again no rumors really ever come out of our building. I guess we shall see in a couple weeks.

My wife might re-become a Ducks fan (she was a Niedermayer fan) if we got "Shatty." She's all about the nicknames.

I think "Big Sexy" is one of the better nicknames the Ducks have had.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I would bring him in. If he has a good season he can always bring us something at the deadline if we're not in it. Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle with our young players and we have a good year? Gonna need that experience on D then

Meh if we can sign him on a 1 year low cost... id be down... if he has a solid season hopefully flip him at deadline

His last season actually was not even terrible. He was surrounded by the Rangers D which was a tire fire. If he is the #4 D for Anaheim think he could do a lot of good here and can bring some offense to the D. Sometimes a new scenery is good for a player and think there was a lot of pressure playing for his hometown team on top of the injuries and bad D around him.
