Mints and Sells need time to marinate in the AHL before coming up to the big roster, and keep Bunting the hell away from this roster.

If you need a gritty scoring winger, sign Bertuzzi.

we could probably give the exact same deal to Bert that buddy did here with Bunting, a guy who is only in the NHL because of Matthews

Bunting is an NHL player and a good one but not worth close to 6 million. Neither is Bertuzzi for that matter.

Zegras had 65 points, how is he your number 1 center? Because we don’t just watch stats, we watch hockey. Bunting is a good hockey player. Not a 6 million dollar one. A 3 million dollar one.

I’ve seen more Fantilli than almost everyone. My son played with him. He’ll be a good one but it will take some time. He plays an aggressive power forward style. A style that is hard to play as an 18 year old in the NHL. The Ducks should be patient with him. Like Byfield it will take some time.

I have no problem with anything here except the flaw identified by my esteemed brethren: I wouldn't sign Bunting for HALF that amount.

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.
