Appreciate the comments. Lots about Bunting, haha.
Ducks are obviously going through a rebuild and I figured they needed some players to help the young guys develop and didn't want to sign anyone long-term to ruin the upcoming window. Bertuzzi would be more ideal than Bunting, but really just wanted to slot in a top 6 forward. Domi could be good in that spot too. Either way, its a top 6 forward that comes off the books around the time when the young guys need big contracts.
(Also, $6 mil on Bunting is a bit absurd. I didn't put much thought into it because Ducks have a ridiculous amount of cap space.)
Time to move on from Comtois. Trade him for picks or whatever, but seems like it would be best for Ducks and Comtois for a change of scenery.
I don't understand the comment about Zegras. Who else should the Ducks have as a number 1 center next year? Ducks are in a rebuild and Fantilli is gonna be the number 1 center eventually. Zegras is still a solid player. Don't blow up the rebuild, it's a process.
Excited to see Mints and Zells play with the big boys next year and if Ducks are still rebuilding, why not give them game time? Wouldn't mind grabbing another LHD and let Mints/Zells switch between NHL/AHL throughout the year.
Seems like everyone was ok with the extensions for Zegras and Terry. Also, no comments on Severson getting $6 mil.
