Waived: [ANA] Ducks waive Adam Henrique (Clears)

[McSuper]

Henrique is coming off a 30 goal season. When was the last time Neal was a good player?

I would rather keep Henrique and take a chance he comes back to form.

Just coming off 30 Goals ? He had 27 . Why waived him ? Because he playing like shit . The pass means nothing . Maybe we should re-sign Gretzky and trade him for your entire team . You know Gretzky scored 92 goals . I laugh when fans say this . Yup GM waived him because he is a stud that scored 30 goals

Obvious you don't pay the bills for the Ducks . He being waived to save $$$$

 

[McSuper]

because the past is usually an indication of what's to come/expected in the future

Great then Neal had 19 games in 1/2 a season last year . You can expect more in a full season

Very negative for some reason... look at Josh Anderson last year to this year. I would bet Henrique returns closer to his regular self soon enoguh. maybe in another full year of poor play u will be onto something. too early to say that right now.
think this is a message to Henrique and a test the waters see if anyone will claim him. if no one claims he will likely be back before you know it

Anderson is 26. Henrique is 31.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

He has arguably been our worst player. If he can play like he did last season he's solid though.

Sounds like what we have in Zibanejad. Lights out last year and awful this year.

 

[elitepete]

f*** no

What about Eriksson? You'd need to retain on Henrique though.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

You have to wonder if he got corona or something. You don’t go from your best season ever to how he has been this season for no reason.

Mika Zibanejad says "hi", but yeah, he did have 'rona

 

[elitepete]

I would take that in a second.

Ducks would need to retain.

 

[voxel]

The ducks have a lot of similar players the whole lineup is 2/3rd liners...The issue is there is no elite offensive players and there is literally close to zero offense being created by our defense. The only defensemen trying to contribute offensively is Lindholm and he's one of the best defensive defensemen so it's not really his game.

How does a team with Fowler and Shattenkirk create zero offense from the backend? Mahura has some offensive ability from what I've seen in the AHL/Gulls.

 

[MMC]

I know that other poster said he'd do it but I personally have no interest. Much more confident in Henrique getting back to form.

 

[sunsetsuperhuman]

No source whatsoever on this, but he's been healthy scratched a few times and this just rings of he's having some sort of issue with management. I really wonder if this is just a way to say you're free if somebody wants you, like if he's demanded a trade or something. This is a super weird move. I guess I kinda hope he's getting claimed, even though he's been really good for us in past years.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Anderson is 26. Henrique is 31.

just using as an example. and yeah 25 at the time with a injury riddled season and 1 goal in 26 games besides Im not getting into that with you.

plenty of good players in their early 30's. he had a solid season last year. no reason to assume it's impossible to get back there or close to. it's been like 20games. kinda small sample size for you to be saying hes basically done.

I wonder if the Devils claim him back. They are one team with tons of cap space.

Teams acquiring him wouldn't be too concerned about what he can do in the next year or so. It's the 3rd or 4th year of the contract when he'll be 34 that will scare teams off.

Talk me at the end of the year. I’ll wait for you to eat crow.

Can’t wait for Getzlaf to regain his form too.

well his contract isnt great.

he likely wont be picked up but if ANA demotes him to the minors they only cut 1M off their cap.

Im sure he will likely be back up if no one claims him. likely a wake up call like hey get going your not safe here.

maybe if he continues to be bad and Seattle doesnt draft him they will buy him out.

after that I can see a team happily giving him a contract at much lower aav. cant see him being done though

Lol, Henrique is coming off one of his best seasons on one of the worst teams. Getzlaf has been showing a decline in the past few years and hasn’t been producing nearly where he did in his prime so you should expect a decline in the future from Getz

 

[ElLeetch]

Many teams have been handcuffed into long term deals knowing the last couple years would be trash. Hopefully the market changes and the contracts are more reasonable.

Then you essentially have to eliminate the RFA contract, or go to a model where there is no guaranteed contracts.

I remember when UFA age was 31. that seems like its not even real now. We are in a time when a 27 year old is past their prime.

27 goals in the shortened season. He obviously would have scored 30. Are you seriously saying bringing up last season is the same as 30 years ago...

 

[bsu]

Scoring 27 goals last season on that Ducks team is like scoring 35

 

[lwvs84]

How does a team with Fowler and Shattenkirk create zero offense from the backend? Mahura has some offensive ability from what I've seen in the AHL/Gulls.

Fowler isn't a goal scorer, he's a #3 with a weak shot and decent passing. Shat is... just not good (at least in the role he's been playing). It would take prime Karlsson to create offense from the back end on this team. There are no star players left, Getzlaf is a 2C, Rakell could be a top line winger if there was a star that was driving the line, Lindholm is great in his own zone, but isn't a star on offense. There are a lot of good complimentary young guys on this team, but no line drivers or stars (aside from Gibson who's being left out to dry a LOT).

 

[SenzZen]

Disagree. Skill is changing this has nothing to do with age. At 30 mcdavid is still getting paid

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

Could see some of the Canucks bad money being involved in a trade.

Eriksson 6 million 2 years left but most of the money is paid.

Virtanen 2 years left

they get out of all the money a year early.

Going from a shorter bad contract to a longer one?

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

I would trade Myers for Henrique but Ducks probably need to move another dman first
