Remember at the start of the year when NYR traded for Reeves and then Jeff marek tricked ducks fans into thinking DLo would return a first? Good times.
Answering my own question. Wild are #25 in the league on the PK, so they’re hoping Deslauriers kills two birds with one stone.How is he on the PK?
Is there a chance he didn’t want to re-sign with Anaheim? Seems like he was a perfect guy for a rebuild.
He was a well liked teammate who helped the younger players a lot and did his role well. The 3rd round pick has a fairly low chance of becoming an NHLer.what do you mean lol. cant expect to get a 2nd for deslauriers haha
players like him can come and go every year. if that 3rd becomes anything, its a win. Why hold onto a guy you can get another way? Better yet, play a younger playerHe was a well liked teammate who helped the younger players a lot and did his role well. The 3rd round pick has a fairly low chance of becoming an NHLer.
Actually, players like Deslauriers are hard to find. A very good fighter who can actually play some hockey.players like him can come and go every year. if that 3rd becomes anything, its a win. Why hold onto a guy you can get another way? Better yet, play a younger player
his stats are pretty awful. im totally fine with it an happy about it. No need to have him in the lineup really and he isn't going to help this team in a few years time. The 3rd, possibly can and you take that all dayActually, players like Deslauriers are hard to find. A very good fighter who can actually play some hockey.
Quote even one Ducks poster saying Deslauliers will get a first...Remember at the start of the year when NYR traded for Reeves and then Jeff marek tricked ducks fans into thinking DLo would return a first? Good times.
The top 6 is a lot of skill... bottom 6 is a lot of beef... i think Wild are going to be a tough outGreenway - Eriksson Ek - Foligno
Duhaime - Jost - Deslauriers
That’s one big bottom 6
Duhaime is a mediocre middleweight at best, Greenway can't fight. Foligno can, but he is more valuable on the ice. Next time they have to face a guy like McDermid they have an answer. I get it. Not at all mad at Guerin for doing this, but the trouble with MN is not that they can't score, or aren't tough enough, but that they can't keep the puck out of their net.Why does a team with Foligno, Duhaime and Greenway acquires Deslauriers lol
Kind of surprised there was any sort of bidding war.Kind of surprised there wasn't more of a bidding war.

He literally said he talked to someone around the league that said he could bring in a first. That part is a legitimate rumor, not speculation.
If you don't want to believe that he talked to someone, that whoever that someone is is full of shit, or if marek just blatantly lied, that's a different conversation.
I might think its more likely that Des returns the 1st overall pick than Marek just making things up. Whatever you think of these guys, they don't invent shit, there's no reason to.
How is this proof that I said Des would get a first? That's what you get when reading it back?Okay, here's a couple I responded to in the original thread. The while thread is full of ducks fans laughing at people for not taking the rumor seriously.
