Thread: Maybe we try the Drouin Solution
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>He's been climbing draft boards recently with how well he's been playing, many have him going top 5, some see his as top 3, I think we'll see his draft stock rise amongst the more conservative draft rankings in the coming months.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItsDuckSeason</b></div><div>Honestly, I was thinking the same thing the other day. By all chance, ANA may drop to 5th overall, or Levshunov may already be off the board. Whether PV does choose Parekh over Levshunov, I wouldn't be too mad, both players will be unbelievably polarising when they join the NHL in a year or two. Personally, Zayne Parekh will be the more offensively dynamic player with the puck whilst Artyom Levshunov will be the more 'complete player' with his defensive game. (My knowledge of these players, could be wrong. I haven't seen them play, I only know what I read so please do correct me if I am wrong).

Zayne Parekh, D, Saginaw (OHL), 183 cm / 6'0"
Artyom Levshunov, D, Michigan State University (NCAA), 188 cm / 6'2"

The same goes for Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. There are so many right-handed wingers with size in this year's draft that could potentially play in the middle six for the Ducks. (Not in any Order)
- Ryder Ritchie, F, Prince Albert (WHL), 183 cm / 6'0"
- Michael Hage, F, Chicago (USHL), 185 cm / 6'1"
- Igor Chernyshov, F, Dynamo Moscow (MHL) ,189 cm / 6'2"
- Emil Hemming, F, TPS (Liiga), 187 cm / 6'2"
- Beckett Sennecke, F, Oshawa (OHL), 188 cm / 6'2"

What I'm trying to say is, to expect the least unexpected from PV.</div></div>

Thread: New head coach how are we feeling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>He is well spoken about by people who worked with him, and yeah, it could have been a LOT worse.

Pour one out for CBJ, I hear they are signing Babcock.

Alright, I'm having a hell of a time finding the actual press conference recording, can someone help LosPatos GeneralLandro</div></div>

It was a live stream. You probably have to wait until a full video gets released. :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>I’m not totally set on this option, but there was a lot of worse options. I think we’re seeing the new era of coaching rather than the whole coaching carousel thing.

Watched the press conference and wasn’t too pleased either. Kinda sounds like Verbeek expects us to be bad for at least 3 more years and doesn’t sounds like he’s ready to start winning.

I trust Verbeek but I also question whether he’s too conservative with the prospect pool</div></div>

We probably won't make the playoffs in the next few years. Although Greg Cronin is a nobody rn. After hearing how passionate and how he prioritises development, he will definitely help the new guard blossom. When one of them mentioned their interview went for 4.5 hrs (brain explosion emoji). Greg Cronin will probably be our coach until Matt McIlvane is ready (AHL coach).
