Confirmed Trade: [ANA/VAN] Michael Del Zotto (25% retained) for Luke Schenn and a 2020 7th round pick

[Billy Kvcmu]

Can a Canucks fan explain to me how del Zotto has been terrible for them this season? Looking over his numbers it looks like he's been outperforming almost all their guys on the back end, suppressing shots, and driving play decently well. His penalties taken isn't good, is that what the big thing is?

Because Luke Schenn is not an NHL player in any sense.

Well, tbh I can’t remeber much about MDZ this season because he doesn’t play a lot.
I do however, remember there were two times that he took a dumb penalty late in 3rd that resulted in the GWG.

His last season play was...meh, he was a serviceable bottom pair D last season. Ducks fans need to wish MDZ still has a little juice

25% of the $1.3m remaining= $325k. anaheim must have serious cap issues to negotiate that into the deal.

why would you not want to save 325k if you can..... i take it you are not rich.

The 7th is all I needed. Schenn is just a bonus.

Schenn is a negative.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Schenn is a negative.

In the minor, he’s a bonus

 

[Vitto79]

Meh why not .... Canucks save money and Ducks get a new face

 

[VanJack]

Canucks had to make a roster move with Pettersson coming back from injury. If Del Zotto goes on waivers, they likely lose him for nothing. So a seventh rounder in 2020 and a veteran d-man like Schenn for their Utica farm team seems like a fair result.

Ducks get a veteran d-man on an expiring contract. And if they fall out of playoff contention, can still move him again at the trade deadline.

Lmao. There's a lot of words to describe what it's like to be a Ducks fan right now.

Boring can't possibly be one of them.

 

[trostol]

one bad former Flyer for another bad former Flyers!!!

 

[blankall]

Has scehnns value dropped that badly his value is a seventh and del zotto

Worse.

The Ducks actually had to add 7th to get MDZ for Schenn.

Ironically, watching/attending games might be the most boring part of being a Ducks fan right now.

I just meant tonight. And all in all, every game added to the record is an energetic moment. Granted it's extremely negative energy but it's energy all the same.

 

[Siludin]

Hughes will be a Canuck before April, and they both play the left side. I imagine they have him pencilled in whether they are in the playoff hunt or not.

 

[blankall]

Also wtf are the Ducks doing? Shaking up their roster with 3 pointless moves. That's like trying to fix a broken down car by changing the whipers and door handles.

 

[CanadienShark]

Damn. Has MDZ fallen that far?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

When we traded Cogliano, we no longer had an Italian Canadian, Del Zotto fixes that.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

The penalties thing makes sense to me, but again I'm not seeing where the atrocious defensively thing is coming from. Canucks are better defensively when he's out there by a solid margin.

Because you’re only looking at advanced stats. They don’t show the whole picture. He’s gives the puck away in crucial moments in the defensive zone every game. He’s an older Derrick Pouliot.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Something tells me MDZ is gonna be doing a lot of scoring in California where all of the "STARLETS" <---- wink wink wink work and live. Guy is a bigger rocket hunter than the CIA.

Worst case scenario he ends up on the IR with somekind of "lower body injury".

lmao. This must be Bob Murray's idea of positive locker room guys. I now see what Del Zotto brings to the Ducks

 

[ricky0034]

always amusing to see two players I honestly just kind of assumed were out of the league by now get traded for each other

 

[jetsforever]

Guess Murray is blowing it up?

just you wait until he trades some of those 5ths and 6ths for a few thirds and fourths, and then those into a couple seconds, which he finally consolidates into a top 5 1st rounder

i do this in chel all day

I can just see Benning with his hat backwards in a pewdiepie chair sipping on some dew at a large oak boardroom table talking to the rest of management and his scouting department telling them "I do this in chel all day".

 

[Cancuks]

Benning's logic doesn't work that way. More picks> quality picks in his mind. Benning's like the challenged kid in kindergarten you give 75 cents in dimes and nickles and pennies for his $1 bill and then run away laughing while he sits there with a blank look on his face thinking he won the deal.
