Speculation: Anaheim Ducks Roster Discussion Part IV

[Opak]

CapFriendly lists Grantzlaf as the 4th most cost effective goal scorer in the NHL this season (goals per cap hit).

He never seems to have a bad game. Would love to flip him for a 4th at the deadline with the full intention to re-sign him. Our current 4th line is fantastic IMO.

 

[Leonardo87]

Ryan Miller is 6-5-2 this season with a 2.86 GAA and a .912 SV PCT. Considering the Ducks D issues those are pretty solid numbers for a back up especially a 39 yo one.

That's a great way to lose him again

 

[Dirk316]

Carlye had a 4th line of Gibbons Rowney and Street
Deslauriers and Grant should be immediately resigned and keep this great 4th line in tact
Would be classic Murray to tear apart the line that works

Yeah, it's unfortunate we have such a good tandem at the wrong time in the team's evolution.

I don't think this franchise has ever had bad goaltending. Maybe the weird Emery year.

That was Hiller's all-star year and even after he went down Ray was really good down the stretch. Honestly this year might be the worst in a long time.

True, but as a 1,2 this could be the best we ever had. Just too bad it isn't in support of a cup run.

It was pretty soft during the transition from the end of the Hebert days to the beginning of the Giguere days. Shields, Roussel, Askey, etc.

It's not like any of those guys was really ever the starter, which really illustrates how good we've had it. The worst you can point to in the team's history is a couple bad backups.

I think Shields was meant to be the starter and thank god Giguere put that to rest. But yeah, that couple seasons-plus where Hebert's groin was shot and we had some questionable/too young guys filling in was the worst it's been.

Interesting. So we are riding with him until the end this year I guess.

Unless he's being showcased for trade?

Really weird timing with four wins in five games. Who is coming out? They won't sit him with the waiver stuff, that wouldn't make any sense.

 

[Paul4587]

The only person who could sit for him is Terry and he’s picked up his game of late. Jones too but he plays on the opposite side.

Hopefully nobody is injured. Silfverberg has looked off since coming back, I wonder if he’s still hurt?

More likely sleep deprived.

 

[Kalv]

I think I read somewhere (and saw), that Terry was not playing the last 5 mins in the last game. He went to greet Miller after the game tho, so it might not be an injury.

Edit: it``s true. NHL.com Stats
Everyone else played at least a bit after him.

Not much to see, it's part coincidence and part Terry being a victim of the bench shortening defending a lead. Rowney just took his spot for that lines last shift.

Gerber was also a better back up than having Shields. Gerber, he of the 8th round!

What are we talking about here?

Sprong, I think.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Create some competition on the team. That’s smart

Calling up sprong. Don't really get it.
