Confirmed with Link: Ducks sign Andrej Sustr (1y/1.3m)

Sbisa and Stoner are available, too btw
It`s just a question of time

3) The contracts given to Schenn and Sustr are both trade deadline friendly. If our team trends in the wrong direction --as many of us expect-- one if not both of Schenn and Sustr would be prime candidates to sell at the deadline. For example, look at these trades: Oleksiak for a 4th, Kempny for a 3rd, Holden for a prospect and a 4th, Jerabek for a 5th, Davidson for a 3rd, Morrow for a 4th, Reilly for a 5th.

Yeah, but who would want them? They are not close to most of those guys.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Looks to me like the bottom pair is set. Schenn/Sustr. Of course all the prospects will be given a whopping two week window at camp to show Bob how foolish those signings were. Nod, nod, wink, wink.

 

[ADHB]

Seems like he is focused on juniors in Sweden though?

I'm sure he himself scouts amateurs more than pros, but in the end everyone reports to him, so he has the final say when it comes to passing along the evaluations to his boss. The problem is Bob obviously gives a very different mandate when it comes to scouting NHL players.

 

[Elvs]

I'm sure I'm in the minority but I like it. I've had a soft spot for Sustr since he first came up with the Bolts, when he showed a nice outless pass along with his huge frame. For a man his size he owns a good first step also. Hopefully the change of scenery serves him well.

It's possible we'll be carrying 8 defensemen and 13 forwards again. And I have been expecting Holzer in San Diego the whole time. Murray waived him as a favour, to see if some other NHL team would pick him up. No team did, so it's gonna be San Diego or back to Europe for him.

I think Murray at least has one trade up his sleeve this offseason, and so I can see one of Larsson, Pettersson, Mahura or Welinski being moved.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Oh, I get that your non-regulars shouldn't take up cap, I get it.

I'm more taking issue with the fact that these non-regulars we signed are slightly more expensive than our rookies, some of whom should be playing for a spot up with the Ducks.

I'm not sure they'll be as more expensive as you think, Kossila, Roy and Welinski all had high qualifying offers. Also, some of these signings probably are a bit of an indictment on them and believing that they don't really have a lot of room to grow. Late bloomers do happen but more often than not what you see is what you get at 25.

What you see is what you get usually at that age, true.

My issue lies in the fact that we never see them for more than a 15-20 game stretch with inconsistent linemates. I’d love to actually see if they can hack it, like the Devils let Noeson have a chance at

We don't but the team does see quite a bit of them, they're not basing everything off of a quick cup of coffee(although it's a big factor). And honestly, they're right much more often than they're wrong. For every Noesen theres a Friberg, a Cramarossa and a Holland. With Noesen(and conversely Holland, the most successful of the guys who were given up on) you at least had a first round pedigree, not to mention Noesens first few pro years being thrown for a loop by injury. This trio really doesn't have that draft pedigree or excuses for what's taking so long.

 

[crowi]

I really don't understand why we needed him AND Schenn. Why is it so difficult to give young players a chance?

 

[Duck Off]

Ugh before this offseason I knew we’d sign Sustr or Schenn. Never thought we’d sign both. If Holzer goes back to Europe it makes more sense I guess though

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Looks like I was mistaken about Holzer, although I guess they could still make that decision at a later time.

In Anaheims Defensive besteht Handlungsbedarf

Translated -

The Anaheim Ducks have taken the consequences of the disappointing performance at the Stanley Cup playoffs and have made significant gains in the player market. Over the past few days, they have engaged six players to provide fresh impetus in the coming season. In addition, the Californians were allowed to select seven talents at the NHL Draft 2018, of which, however, only a few should be able to make the jump into the squad of the Ducks right away.
Looking at the list of fixed entries so far, it can be said that the Ducks have invested more in the depth than in the top of their squad. Well-known players are looking under the signings in vain. General Manager Bob Murray admits this frankly.

"Of course we also dealt with the big names in the market, but we found the prices extremely high," he explained the reluctance to make spectacular purchases. "Our primary goal has been to reinforce the team with fast-paced players and get us on the offensive," said Murray, explaining the Ducks' business policy.
With Carter Rowney Anaheim pulled after all a Stanley Cup winner on land. The right winger had won the 2017 title with the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the past season, he played in the regular season 44 games for the Penguins, bringing it to five points (two goals, three assists). Overall, the 29-year-old striker was 71 times in the main round for Pittsburgh on the ice, scored five goals and prepared seven goals. In the playoffs he came on 23 missions and three assists. Rowney fits perfectly with his speed in the requirement profile of the Ducks. In addition, he is considered a specialist for penalty killing. His contract with the Ducks runs for three years.
[You can get the latest news from the NHL on Twitter at @NHLde ]
Center Brian Gibbons comes to Anaheim with the recommendation of his most successful year so far in the NHL. With 12 goals, 14 assists, 26 points, a plus-minus of +10 and 59 games for the New Jersey Devils, he recorded personal bests. His strong performance brought the 30-year-old the appointment to the US team for the 2018 World Cup. In addition to the Devils Gibbons also played in the NHL for the Penguins and the Columbus Blue Jackets. With the Ducks he agreed on a one-year contract.

Winger Anton Rodin (last HC Davos) and Center Ben Street (Grand Rapids Griffins) also signed for one season. Both were already in the NHL, but only sporadically. Therefore, they have yet to recommend themselves at the training camp in September for a permanent place in the squad of Ducks.
The department attack is at the moment with 16 players already quite handsome equipped. Coach Randy Carlyle has plenty of choice, especially in the center position and on the right wing. Action is needed on the left wing, for the things are set only Andrew Cogliano and Nick Ritchie .
The personnel planning for the defensive is far from complete. Eight players are currently under contract there. The only newcomer so far is Luke Schenn . The 28-year-old defender earned his money recently at the Toronto Maple Leafs and brings including the playoffs experience from 720 games for the Arizona Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers and the Maple Leafs. For these four clubs, he collected 146 points scorer (32 goals, 114 assists). "With him we get a seasoned defensive player, with leadership qualities," commented General Manager Murray.
The Munich-based Korbinian Holzer hopes for a new probationary test at the Ducks . The 30-year-old defender still has valid working papers until the end of the 2018/19 season. For him were in the past series only 16 appearances without a single counter for the Scorer rating to book. In the meantime, he went to work for the San Diego Gulls, the Ducks AHL farm team.

No further transfer activities are required at the goalkeepers. With Jared Coreau (Red Wings), those responsible for the Free Agency got a backup for their goalie duo John Gibson and Ryan Miller . With the Draftpicks Lukas Dostal and Roman Durny are two other talented finalists in the organization of Ducks.
Anaheim's athletic leadership is excited about the development of her first-round pick at this year's NHL Draft, Isac Lundestrom. The 18-year-old centered at Lulea a convincing season with 15 points (six goals, nine assists) from 42 games in the SHL, the first Swedish league. According to the unanimous opinion of the experts, he brings with him everything in order to make the leap to the NHL at an early stage.

Sbisa would easily be better than all of Bieksa, Sustr, and Schenn.

He still has some absolute brainfarts but the few Nick fans I saw that said his game was getting better weren't totally full of shit. He may not be perfect in his own zone but he's capable of breaking up a play on his own and is a better skater than Sustr and Schenn. Bieksa for sure.

I just updated with the translated full version. The blurb on Holzer would lead me to believe he'll at least be in camp, but then again if he's "hoping" that then it's possible his status is still up in the air.

So it looks that Larsson and Welinski could be trade chips ,,,,,

that would be incredibly stupid but its bob murray we're talking about so stupid is expected

 

[pbgoalie]

He was decent the year before last, from what I remember. I think I've heard less than positive reviews from this past one, though. So, I guess it's sort of okay if he's battling Schenn for #6/7. If they're both in, pushing all kids out, ugh.

I believe the only problem with your post is using the word IF
No way Carlyle won’t have two of the “veterans “in....gotta give the kids some time in San Diego first......getting harder to lo,e this organization...geez

At what point will Bob or RC consider Fowler/Manson/Lindholm vets? Fowler has been in the league 8 seasons, and Hampus 5.

Once they are overpaid and not worth their contracts.

I'd say he clearly does. Its not like Schenn and Sustr are grizzled vets, they're pretty close in age to Fowler and Manson. The issue would be more with the other three, where a week ago Montour and his 107 games was by far the most experienced guy. It's looking like there'll be two fairly inexperienced guys in the lineup next year, which is something in itself.

 

[Pennaduck]

Bob either needs a serious intervention or this signing means Montour is gone.

Once they can no longer skate or get the puck out of our zone.

I swear Bob has a "gritty" RHD fetish.

It looks like he does. It's not like he brought in Orpik. Stop implying Sustr and Schenn are old, you are giving me the 40-life crisis at 28. Now I gotta go buy myself a Porsche...
