Wow that's a name I thought I would never see in an Anaheim uniform again.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

San Diego.....?

 

[HanSolo]

Has to be a spare guy type deal. Honestly just another guy that guys like Manson and Theodore have to compete with to be a first call up.

Meh. Happier Wagner got a deal.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I guess he's filling the Fistric spot

 

[91Fedorov]

I like the fact that our young guys usually don't just get a free pass into the line up. If we have a hole, we sign a cheap veteran and make them play their way into the team. I like that plan.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The prodigal son.

 

[TheJoeMan]

San Diego.....?

Definitely. Our first option for calling-up a left-handed shooting d-man is Theodore or Piskula so OB should provide better depth there. I like that Murray and Bob Ferguson are stocking up on some quality veterans for the Gulls.

 

[Ducks in a row]

AHL no way he should he play in a Ducks uniform again unless we suffer injuries on the blueline.

 

[Theridion]

So... 2 way deal?

Should we play the game, whose going to be better:

Bieksa
O'Brian
Depres

I am not high on Depres yet.

Despres
Bieksa

O'Brien

Easy

 

[vavera4ka]

will be great for the kids, and a safety net for the big boys club.
I guess BM remembers how he had to play Junior Ducks against Chicago that one game when everyone was broken or sick.

 

[duxfan1101]

Perfect. Here comes the O'Brien pairing in the AHL

I'd say

O'Brien
Holzier
Bieksa
Despres
Vatanen
Lindholm
Fowler

Despres and Bieksa will just hold us back and O'Brien will be a star.

All three will be better than those young scrubs on the team now.

Despres was good for the Ducks playing with Fowler

O'Brien has been a AHL player lately and should remain such a player.

What the **** is this

 

[Unholy]

AHL bound

 

[NEWFowler]

Ugh. I ****ing hate Shane O'Brien. I hope he doesn't play a game with us.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Ew. He's been rumored to be a bad influence, so unless he's grown up, I don't even really like it for San Diego a whole lot. They should be pretty good, though. That could be a real good blueline.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Ducks like rain, Ducks like rain. Brings back memories of the lockout year. The big one.

 

[Quack Shot]

Greatest thing he has ever done for us was take all those penalties when we played Nashville in 2011 and we scored on the powerplay every time he was in the box.

 

[Day of the Duck]

Ehhh. Well, at least San Diego is looking to be a good team right out of the gate.

 

[Getzmonster]

Perfect. Here comes the O'Brien pairing in the AHL

Hehe, my first thought as well.

Not a Shane O' fan particularly, he has Wiz' hero mentality with Sbisa's IQ. Fine for SD, but talk about a log jam.

That team is looking pretty damn tough now, they'll have the same skill/toughness mix as the big club.

 

[Dirk316]

#7 or 8
Injuries happen he would be the Stoner replacement should an injury occur

 

[SmokeyDuck]

He was actually pretty good in the AHL last season. 51gp 11-19=30 points,+6 and 127pims. Gulls should be a tough and skilled team next season.
