Thread: Draft question
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I'm not so sure about that old friend, I think the need for a #1RHD and the strength of that position in this draft, I'm thinking we go Leshunov if he's available.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>Ducks still need that #1 RD and trading Drysdale further opened the door to taking a defenseman in this D-heavy draft class. If he's on the board when they pick the choice will be Levshunov IMO. Neither Warren nor Helleson have a ceiling any where close to what Levshunov would bring into the organization.</div></div>
Well, Levshunov was my first thought last month when the subject first came up, but everyone started talking about Eiserman. Nevertheless, I still think that Verbeek and the scouting staff will pick a forward, although naturally I won't be disappointed if they select Levshunov.

With quality offense on the LD, I think that we can succeed with complementary players at RD; the need for a star is lessened, in my view. But I may be ploughing my own lonely furrow here.

Thread: A Couple Thoughts Ive Had
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tjk</b></div><div>I was just going off of 6 months from August. Good to hear he's coming back sooner! Why do you say that? Outside of Minty wouldn't he just be in their top 4? Plus he can play RD. My thinking is that LaCombe has been pretty meh if not bad this year, and Broberg is better than Urho. And I'm guessing Zellweger isn't brought up this year. If anything he'd be your second-best LD right now (better than LaCombe and Urho). Play Minty top pair, Broberg 2, Fowler 3 and PK.

They should be one of the teams to take a risk on a former top-10 pick like Broberg imo</div></div>

Vaak has been pretty good when he’s gotten the chance to play. LaCombe has been solid when on the left. His struggles have been playing top pair minutes on his off side.

Even if Broberg is better than Vaak and LaCombe, it’s minimal. I doubt that he is anyways. And he’s definitely not better than Folwer.

No need to add to the congestion that is LD for a guy that’s doesn’t improve the team now or in the future.

Also id like to see Lundestrom get a full go in the new system. I think he’ll flourish in it.

Thread: Swap Top 10 pix from 2019 then rent Hanifin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafayetteAvsFan</b></div><div>Bo can play either side, he's reasonably priced for two years, and watching Carlsson and MacTavish already playing better than I ever saw Zegras play (TBH have only seen probably 7-8 Ducks games in recent years), seems like Zegras has no place at center in the Ducks' future. If you want him as a top 6 wing, makes sense. But I would think Fowler would be a strong trade piece to a contender w/cap space and Byram would be your top or second LD w/Minty. And I know Fowler has an NTC but if he could win a Cup?</div></div>

Zegras is more valuable to us as a winger than Bo would be as another defenseman. If we're trading him, it's for a RW or right shot D. It's incredibly unlikely Cam goes anywhere, if he wanted out we would have moved him years ago.
