perfectly OK with this, Maroon was one of my favorite ducks last season and he deserves to get paid.

 

[IDuck]

i think he will be worth it. i know he has had to work his butt off for this so congratz to him

 

[TheJoeMan]

Very happy about this signing. Paddy has come a long way and really solidified his spot on this team. Considering the kind of year I expect him to have he could have made a lot more in the open market next season.

 

[HanSolo]

Happy with this

 

[DarthYenik]

I don't know if I dislike a single move BM's made this off season.

I really like Pat, too. He's tough and he can score a few. Perfect for this team.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Wow, that's a lot of confidence management is putting in Maroon.

Can't say I disagree with them either. Really love what Pat brings to this team and I think he's going to be a very very good hockey player.

I'd honestly be surprised if he doesn't score 50pts in at least one of the next 3 seasons. Not to mention the grit and puck protection skills he brings.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Good signing. Hopefully he can improve his skating as much as Bonino did.

 

[Fighter]

Happy with it, Maroon could have a breakout year next season.

 

[Getzmonster]

Good signing. Hopefully he can improve his skating as much as Bonino did.

I second this, his skating is brutal. Even a marginal improvement could have a huge impact on his game.

Love me some Maroon though, glad to have him locked up for a few more years.

This is what stoner should of got

It seems a bit risky since he worked best with Perreault. And that his speed often makes him a defensive liability.

But I think he could pair well with Kesler, so it might pay off. Hmm. I wonder if we can do Maroon-Kesler-Cogliano. Although it forces someone onto the right.

MaCK line?

 

[snarktacular]

MaCK line?

Since Maroon is big, it could be Big MaCK.

Or how about MaCK Paddy?

 

[Ducksforcup]

Like the contract...Patty for 4 more years. Can't hate...

 

[Kalv]

Very happy

 

[mightyquack]

Good to get him locked up early, but I'll echo Snark's concerns. Definitely hoping he can keep trending upwards as he has some sick hands.

 

[Emerald Duck]

I wish as part of the deal Maroon is required to take daily power skating lessons from Mrs. Niedermayer (Scotty's mom). The only thing holding him back is that piano he carries around with him on the ice.

I'm happy for him though. He worked hard to get that contract, and spent a lot of years on AHL buses trying to make it to the NHL. He definitely has a spot and an important role on the Ducks this year.
