Rumor: Garrioch - Anaheim Ducks to be extremely active this deadline

[405Exit]

Yeah okay, talk about overvaluing your own player, you’re not getting a top 6 forward and two blue chip prospects for Manson who’s looked like complete ass the last couple seasons. Maybe you’d get Johnsson and Liljegren at the absolute most. Man you Duck fans think Manson is the second coming of Jesus Christ and it’s hilarious. If you actually think that proposal is something you’d do, you’ll be very disappointed with the return Manson will bring should the Ducks move him. Manson will be a Maple Leaf though one way or another, it’s where he belongs.

You don’t know the trade history of Anaheim do you? Every RHD we’ve shipped out we got big return on. Whether you like Manson or not? The history always repeats itself. From Vatanen to Montour. Anaheim always gets a damn good deal. Theodore is an exception even though he’s LH D. because we had to make Vegas not snag any of our good stuff.

You Toronto fans also said Andersen wouldn’t return a first. How’s that looking these days.

Any big Anaheim pieces going the other way. Gets a good sized return.

Well if we had two top 10 picks this year. All the pain would be gone away. Just glad one of us did something right for rebuild mode.

First time in our existence where we can say this is the case, and it was by luck. Most deadlines are the same, just rotating 4th liners and wasting picks on pending UFAs.

I knew this was gonna happen. Here's Kevin Weekes yesterday tweeting about Anaheim making its own noise heard. Anaheim should easily be the headline news until Monday. Along with Detroit on AA

How the heck would Garrioch know this lol?

That's not the point. Even Kevin Weekes is in on it as well. More and more sources are jumping on Anaheim making noise soon.

Will Butcher for Ondrej Kase

Ducks already tried to trade Kase for a LHD, Butcher is 25 and locked up long term and would really help the ANA power play. NJ gets a talented forward that fits their rebuild timeline.

I think it's the point. Anyone can surmise that one of the worst teams in the league will be sellers at the deadline. Garrioch probably knows as much as you or I do.

Here's a hot take, just for you! Anaheim will try to unload any of the players on expiring contracts at the TDL! Maybe even some guys with term. Also, LA, Ottawa and Detroit are 3 others that will try to do the same.

LA has already done its moves. Outside of Alec Martinez which is getting finalized today I believe. Think I heard on there game broadcast yesterday about it.

Ottawa is going to be interesting, and Detroit. I’m leaving possibly Kreider from NYR and AA on Detroit as the block buster Feb 24th.

That’s leaving Anaheim in position to make some noise it self? And possibly grab a few headlines? Interesting to see what Manson and Rakell can snag if traded.

In all seriousness, I don't see why not. But, then, how many guys can they move that are expiring? Are Manson and Lindholm on the block? Miller I assume.

Ottawa won't be doing much of significance, no doubt. Namestikov for a 3rd (please), Hainsey for a 5th, Ennis for a 5th. The big prize is Pageau and I bet they're trying to sign him and take him off the board anyway.

Yah Pageau is going to be interesting. What if Kreider price is so high? Ottawa slips in and steals the show? Then you also have Anaheim with Rakell. Never know what Anaheim May do with him either.

Pageau is a damn good centerman. He may very well be the ultimate block buster this deadline. Ottawa is going to be scary with all them picks if your consensus is right on the trades.

Ducks tried to trade Kase for Faulk.... a RHD. They already have Lindholm, Fowler and Larsson on the left side, and while Butcher is better than Larsson, no way they give up Kase to upgrade the 3rd paring on the left without addressing the glaring holes on the right first.

In terms of expiring guys, there's been a fair bit of talk about Derek Grant. Big center scoring at a 20+ goal pace, with the heaviest defensive usage on the team. Good Pker and face off guy as well, he'd be a nice bottom six improvement for a few teams, and just about anyone can squeeze in his minimal cap hit.

He has nearly identical numbers to Brian Boyle when he returned a 2nd round pick last year, and this seems like a bit more of a seller's market, although Grant is a less proven commodity.

Holy crap...Derek Grant... I remember him coming up with Ottawa. Good for him!

He's earned the nickname Grantzlaf from Ducks fans, our left handed lite version of Getzlaf. Definitely one of the few positives in a pretty gloomy season, he's done a fantastic job and it's always easy to root for these late bloomers.

I must say, we have a ton of picks in the next couple of years. We're really in a good position going forward (except for the owner).

So much quality young depth already as well. If there was a team that could most benefit from trading a stack of B assets in a quantity for quality deal it would have to be the Sens.

It’s going to be scary going forward. If Pageau goes for what I’m thinking? First 2020 ++. We may as well not have a draft. That gives 3 first rounders. 2 lottery and 1 mid to late? + the seconds and your estimation of 3rd and 5ths?

Are there really any players left to choose from?

 

[Leonardo87]

Would prefer the Ducks just re-sign Grant to like a 3 year deal. I see him still being effective and a solid 4c when the Ducks are competitive again. Ducks 4th line is really one of the few bright spots of a down season.

 

[Stickpucker]

Well they better hurry up 1st rd picks are being handed out like candy. Soon no contender will have one left.

BM doesn't work that way

hell wait till about an hour after the deadline, and well see some 6th round picks come our way.

You don’t know the trade history of Anaheim do you? Every RHD we’ve shipped out we got big return on. Whether you like Manson or not? The history always repeats itself. From Vatanen to Montour. Anaheim always gets a damn good deal. Theodore is an exception even though he’s LH D. because we had to make Vegas not snag any of our good stuff.

You Toronto fans also said Andersen wouldn’t return a first. How’s that looking these days.

Any big Anaheim pieces going the other way. Gets a good sized return.

Giving away Theodore to protect other players is a fireable offence.

We have bigger issues to fry with GM Murray. This is my last straw with him if he doesn’t make any moves this trade deadline. Both San Jose and Los Angeles get better on the rebuild. And we sit in the butt hole of the dumpster not doing anything. Trust me, everyone has there reasons why they are upset.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Also got Vegas to select a bad contract as well. It wasn't the best asset management for sure, but the full benefit wasn't just in protecting others but also clearing an undesired 3.25M off the books.

Ridiculous amounts of awesome players in this draft though. Like when Anaheim got Getzlaf and Perry. This is gonna be one for the ages!

What are you even talking about? Vatanen trade was pretty even, but Montour went for meh (Tracey) and trash (Guhle). Theodore had to be traded because BM somehow thought Bieksa was worth keeping , for some unknown reason he gave away Wild Bill to so Wisniewski could hang in the pressbox, and lost Petterson so Sprong could hang in SD.

Literally the ONLY thing in there that could be considered a win is Henrique for Vatanen, and even that's pretty well negated by the contract he handed out to henrique afterwards.
