Player Discussion Ryan Kesler

[Anaheim4ever]

I was shocked when he scored tonight. Less shocked when I found out it was Getzlaf.

Ahlers falling asleep on TV ?

Me and Ahlers both. Saw Cogs and Silfver out there and just assumed it was #17.

Kesler wants to remain with Ducks: report

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I wonder if he would ever retire due to the injury troubles.

 

[MMC]

Fire Carlyle and have Kesler coach the rest of the season

as a Coach Kesler would do wonders with Jones ! Teach him the way of the pest.

As long as he signs a waiver that he won't play himself on the PP.

What if we have a Semi Pro situation where Kesler is the coach, GM, and center of our team? Might work better...

Well that's just wonderful.

Ducks need to buy the dude out and not buy into the "teaching kids how to win" BS.

He's got too much pride to go on LTIR its beginning to look like

 

[Getzmonster]

What happened to the short leash Kesler was supposed to be on this season?

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

Can we ask this guy to retire and offer him a front office job or coaching job where we would pay him the same amount as the remaining balance of his players contract?

A lot of things were said in the offseason that turned out to be blatant lies.

 

[snarktacular]

Sounds more like he realizes he'd never get this ice time from any other coach. So no, he won't waive NTC.

Story of every offseason. “Changes will be made to the roster.”

Must be a longer term thing with the trade for Grant.

I think it might be permanent.. Maybe he realized he cant play anymore.. I mean he just doesn't have any push in his hips.

That would be a miracle for the Ducks. Feel Sad for Kesler though.

 

[Static]

No way it's permanent. Kesler is probably the most competitive player on the team and he just went through pretty much a year of painful rehab just to get back to half the player he was.

I mean, read that interview, the only way he goes is if he can't get medically cleared or he's bought out.

 

[bsu]

play him as a 4th line winger until he can heal up more for next season. let him take end of game draws and important ones other than that leave him at wing he cant skate well enough right now to play center.

This would require a coaching change.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I think im totally on board to fire RC and promote Kelser to coach... I don't think he could do worse

 

[alcolol]

I wasn't able to watch last game. Anyone have a clip to the Kesler injury?

Edit - Found a clip... why I ask before looking myself is beyond me FML

 

[Static]

That looked like a ligament popped. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a sprain of some sort.

"This offseason will be interesting."

 

[cheesymc]

"This offseason will be interesting."

LOL.

Damnit, Kesler retire or take the rest of this year off on long term injury so our insurance pays for your salary. Go out with a bang and drop the gloves with Ryan Johansen 3 times in the next meeting. Too bad...I was hoping that Kesler would be like Brind Amour's final years.
