Thread: Adding the Missing Pieces - A Full Roster Speculation
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jhmiddleton81</b></div><div>As an outsider, the Ducks need another high end scorer if they want to win another championship, their defense is phenomenal, but if a Vatanen can somehow get you a Duchene, JVR, Galchenyuk, etc. in a package I would do that all day. The Ducks don't really have enough scoring to compete with the bigger teams like Nashville (better defense), Pittsburgh, Edmonton, Toronto, Tampa Bay. If they add that then I think they can compete for a cup legitimately</div></div>

While I do agree with needing a high quality scoring winger, I also believe that trading Vatanen would downgrade the ducks defense, no matter who you got to replace him from FA. If there was a way for us to get another defender with Vatanen's ability, then I would be fine with getting rid of him, but since he's on IR, there's not really a rush to get rid of him right now

Thread: Vats out, D holds up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>goldie078</b></div><div>If COL had no other option but to trade with ANA, and Vatanen + 2nd was the best offer -- they would not retain salary. They could play Duchene on defence and be better off without the trade
The GMs that value a D like Vatanen come out and deal early. The rest are stingy and stupid enough to clearly set their team up to fall on its face.
Might have to wait until the trade deadline to find an eager GM again, when cap space has been banked and uncertainty about their team's chances have declined.

As for COL and Duchene, I think we're all idiots for waiting and dreaming because no outsider will see the conclusion coming. More like Stastny than O'Reilly, more like Kesler than Nash.</div></div>

I agree. We would need to give up more than vats for Duchene (maybe a B prospect like Jones/Comtois/Morand?), and I would like to keep our second, seeing that we do well in the second round. Maybe a distant 1st, then the salary retain can stay? What do you think?

Thread: Anaheim Ducks 2018 Stanley Cup Champs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AHendrie</b></div><div>This is god-like</div></div>

Nothing about Wideman is god-like. This team is better off with any internal depth option.

Jagr is a different story. Stalberg a decent depth add. As a non-ANA fan, I would not be happy to see Jagr sign in ANA.

Also have to think that Rakell is going to stay on Getzlaf's wing as long as he's scoring at the rates he did last year.</div></div>

Wideman is a shot blocking machine; a top four penalty-killing defenceman to replace vatanen after the trade (Montour replaces his powerplay ability).

Jagr is a great addition to GETZLAF AND EAVES (NOT GETZLAF AND RAKELL)

Seriously, have you watched the ducks at all? Rakell only plays with getzlaf when Perry is on the line. Otherwise it was usually Eaves and Ritchie. Rakell plays with Perry and Kase/some wing depth. In this case, it's stalberg who adds scoring ability and size which is exactly what RC/the ducks love to use on the team.

To Recap:
Wideman is Vatanen's Top 4 replacement
Jagr is for playing with GETZLAF AND EAVES
Stalberg adds size and ability to compliment Perry and Rakell.

Thread: 17-18 Ducks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyNM1510</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>How are Anaheim fans allowing Silf to be the expansion pick
Are you guys missing this guys game this year?

There are easier and less costly ways of doing this.

Last resort would be trading him for a great return, but for nothing is insane</div></div>

The person who is making this post is either not an Anaheim fan or crazy. Most Anaheim fans that aren't crazy on here know how valuable Silfverberg is.

They won't let Silfverberg go to Vegas. Though some people are gonna not think.</div></div>

The reason I have silfverberg going in the expansion:

The ducks have getzlaf, Perry, Kesler, and bieksa on NMC, therefore if they don't use the 8TP 1G format, they can't protect their top 3 defencemen. In my opinion, vatanen would be the one unprotected if they did use this format, and Vatanen has more value to me than Silfverberg does.

This is why I have the ducks trading vatanen because of the value of return (which is Brendan Gallagher, to a team that needs puck moving defencemen) and Simon Despres for cam Atkinson to a team that wants defencemen for the penalty kill since it's possible for jack Johnson to be leaving.

This roster is my first roster created, so I was merely just testing out how this works. It's not something I put hours and hours of work into, more like 15 minutes.

P.S.: Yes, im a ducks fan.
