Simmonds is going to get too much for too long. His best days are behind him.
Karlsson scares me he doesn’t look anywhere near healthy and what if he never does? Someone will pay him boku bucks and might not get what they hope forHonestly, I’m not interested in free agency unless we can somehow get one of the following:
Karlsson
Skinner
Duchene
Panarin
Figure about backup and a depth dman on a one year deal and let’s just see how people bounce back.
I’d be more interested in the trade market.
If Kesler and Eaves retire I'd like Anaheim to sign Wayne Simmons as that is a definite buy low opportunity. Checks off all the boxes
PP specialist, adds veteran leadership, obvious toughness and could easily bounce back as he is not old and can still skate.
They definitely need to stop messing around and sign a tough dman and actually play him Ala Dotchin
Manson is getting worn down from having no help in that department
I can assume Steel and Jones are locks
Terry and Comtois are on the bubble
Simmonds is going to get too much for too long. His best days are behind him.
Dotchin and Schenn are scrubs? I can't recall a game thread where anyone complained about their game. As a #6 who would you suggest that is better? The likes of Megna, Welinski and Holzer is what this team went with that's true useless scrubs
Id take karlssonKarlsson scares me he doesn’t look anywhere near healthy and what if he never does? Someone will pay him boku bucks and might not get what they hope for
Karlsson is the type of dmen we need on our back end... ill take him or krugId take karlsson
Lindholm karlsson
Larson/guhle/mahura + Manson
^ remaining 2 + dotchin
Karlsson if healthy and not super expensive is exactly what we need.
I’m sorry but that D core looks horrible outside the top pairing. And we wouldn’t even being getting Karlsson at his best, we’ll be getting a declining Karlsson for way too much money and for way too long.Id take karlsson

Declining ek65 had 2x as many points as fowler while being better defensively.I’m sorry but that D core looks horrible outside the top pairing. And we wouldn’t even being getting Karlsson at his best, we’ll be getting a declining Karlsson for way too much money and for way too long.
Fowler had more goals than Karlsson on a much worse team and one with dreadful offensive production overall. Now Karlsson did have 22 more points, but again Karlsson had a much better team to play with than Fowler; his offensive production this season just isn't worth what he'll get on his next contract. I take Fowler over Karlsson defensively easily. Karlsson declining is not a myth, it's just reality for a guy in his late 20's who keeps getting injured.Declining ek65 had 2x as many points as fowler while being better defensively.

Karlsson is going to get at least a 70 million dollar contract, I do not want the Ducks to be anywhere near that contract. Let's stop overpaying players who keep getting injured and are past their primes.
I'd keep Fowler because his contract is better and allows us more cap flexibility in the future. Also his injuries are nearly as bad as Karlsson's achilles heel injury. Karlsson's injuries are nagging ones that keep coming back. Fowler's are due to dirty hits or random chance; his injury history is less scary than Karlsson's.So then you are for trading fowler? Cause fowler has played less games than ek over last 4 years.. late 20s and on his decline.
Karlsson is better than fowler defensively...and brings way more offense. Its not realistic but id take Ek pretty easily
How good are the chances we're the team Oliwer Kaski signed for? He would fill a huge need and he would fit the things BM wants. Hard shot, RHD and PP guy.

Again, I disagree on Karlsson being better defensively, Karlsson is like Burns in the defensive category; just not that good but the offense makes up for it. Except that Karlsson's offensive production isn't "greatest offensive D in the game" level anymore. Whoever signs him to that contract will regret in a few years, I don't want us with another Kesler contract in a few years.
Fowler making less than Karlsson doesn’t make his contract “better”
Lol
He’s half the player...and that’s being generous to Cam
He was fine all year and has struggled returning from the recent injury. I’m pretty positive he’ll be a lot better than Cam Fowler next season.When Karlsson is healthy and playing his game, you’re absolutely right.
But are you sure that’s the Karlsson you get? It isn’t the one San Jose has.

But I don’t think we should sign him, I agree on that
I’m pretty positive he’ll be a lot better than Cam Fowler next season.
I’ll take Fowler at 6.5 over Karlsson at 10-12 pretty easily.Declining ek65 had 2x as many points as fowler while being better defensively.
