Confirmed Signing with Link: [ANA] Mason Raymond (1 Year, $675k)

[PatrikOverAuston]

Guenin is for San Diego.

I'm not sure Raymond won't end up there. However, I like it for the Ducks- that's a lot of speed in their bottom six with he and Cogliano.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

He played under Carlyle in TOR.

**** my life.

 

[Rebuilt]

So who are we missing luongo and burrows? Then the whole crew is back and we changed our name to the Anaheim caducks

Good to be back eh ?

 

[ShadowDuck]

Did he only play 29 games last year due to injury or just being bad?

 

[Captain Timo]

Interesting signing after Hagelin didn't work out last year. I think he can fit in nicely though, was good with Carlyle back in Toronto.

 

[crowi]

Someone post that gif where he slides on the ice and trips several players..

wtf are the ducks doing? Why didn't they go after any big free agents? This is their window of opportunity and they are signing guys like raymond?

 

[NoShowWilly]

well his best seasons were with Kesler.

Raymond and Kesler had chemistry in 2009-10 and 2010-11 before Kesler became a puck hog. Raymond had a 25-goal, 53-point season in 2009-10. That said, it's been six years since then. He also had nineteen goals and forty-five points with the Leafs, so Carlyle managed to unearth his dormant abilities in 2013-14.





I would be shocked if Carlyle doesn't try these two on the same line.

We can't afford anything

 

[rune74]

You guys want Burrows too?

 

[crowi]

You guys want Burrows too?

After this season sure. I would bet on it.

Every team has bottom end guys. Raymond isn't being brought in to play on Getzlaf's line.

Still have 15M in cap space to sign Lindholm and a bunch of forwards..

Our millions are worse than other millions.

Cap space means nothing. We've got probably about 10 million left in budget space and Rakell and Lindholm will eat up almost all of it.

 

[beowulf]

Good on him for getting another chance.

 

[ziploc]

One of the most frustrating players. Can sometimes really contribute. Other times, drinking games are created around the number of times he gives up the puck and falls on his butt.

 

[McDonald19]

Meh, Ducks need cheap wingers.

 

[deckercky]

Raymond and Kesler had chemistry in 2009-10 and 2010-11 before Kesler became a puck hog. Raymond had a 25-goal, 53-point season in 2009-10. That said, it's been six years since then. He also had nineteen goals and forty-five points with the Leafs, so Carlyle managed to unearth his dormant abilities in 2013-14.

2010-11 is the year of the 41 goal puck hog Kesler. They were great together in 2009-10, but that's a long time ago, and Raymond is far from the same player he was back then.

 

[rent free]

probably will be on anaheims first line at somepoint in the season

 

[kevrondl]

Being bad.

 

[Theridion]

probably will be on anaheims first line at somepoint in the season

I guarantee that. And not as a mid game line mixup, he will start the game on their top line at some point this season. Probably while this team is again spending most of the season out of the playoffs looking to catch up.

He and Grabner are twins I swear to God. All the talent in the world to be 1st line wingers ...............and they just go BLANK at the worst times.
