Confirmed Trade: [ANA/MIN] Justin Kloos for Pontus Aberg

[Tryamkin]

I remember Kloos having a 6 point game where he looked crazy dangerous the entire game against Stockton. Other than that, eh.

 

[Ty Dolla]

See moving up the standings is easy. If you're Pontus Aberg that is

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Wasn’t Edmonton stupid and terrible at asset management for letting him go?

This is a strange case of appealing to “authority”.

Maybe Edm and Ana are both dumb

I mean, they got nothing. Weird timing for a flex.

 

[Mallard]

GMBM/RC confirming tank by benching then trading one of our leading scorers?

 

[sasha barkov]

Yes Bob, let’s trade a player on pace for 38 points in 74 games for an AHLer

Honestly I don’t care if Aberg parties or whatever because at least he can produce at the NHL level

I mean, they got nothing. Weird timing for a flex.

At the same time, the Ducks probably should've traded Aberg a bit earlier, before they decided to sit him out for the past 5 games or so. That's not a good look on the player who actually has pretty decent stats. Probably could've gotten more in an earlier trade. Possibly not, but that's my hot take and I'm stickin' to it, darn it!

As underwhelming as the return is for Anaheim, they still got more for Aberg than Edmonton did.

Why has he been sat?

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Aberg wasnt cutting it on the defensive side, doesnt really compete physically and wasnt going into the corners. Coach didnt trust him, especially with top line minutes. Not sure about Kloos but I'm sure the Ducks just wanted Aberg off the roster.

It was a joke but in all seriousness Aberg is a meh player and a hot streak at the start of the season doesn’t change that

If he continued being productive and playing the way they wanted him to they wouldn't have traded him at all. Also a strange comment.

He's got 30 points in 34 games...

But I'm sure ANA management could've seen where things were going with Aberg before he was sat. Why not pull the trigger sooner? It's not strange, it's logic. Maybe a trade wasn't there; that's possible.

Of all the shit moves our gm has done this isn’t one I’m sitting up crying over

 

[Moskau]

Trading one of your most productive players for nothing is a move that Tim Murray and Don Maloney would be proud of.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Did we just trade our best goal scorer this year …

Aberg has been great... wtf is BM doing.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Well, I don’t think it was just that...

 

[quackquackquack]

"hockey trade"

You know what Bob? you can suck it...

 

[KarmaPolice]

Why has he been sat?

You'd have to ask a Ducks fan willing to be honest, or Ducks coaching staff. I'm really not sure. But from his time with the Oilers, he can be a very lazy player at times, so my guess is that it has something to do with that.

 

[Rebels57]

I'm really confused by this. Aberg has 11 goals and 19 points in 37 games.

This has tank move written all over it.

 

[sasha barkov]

He's got 30 points in 34 games...

[Dr Jan Itor]

I guess I'm cool with it.

 

[BlueDream]

Aberg sure can't find a home.
