Thread: Ducks fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>doublem24</b></div><div>I was curious where Comtois sat with Ducks fans.

From an outsiders view, it's hard for me to solve between the outlooks of Comtois, Steel, Tracey and Jones. Zegras and Drysdale are the standouts and the other 4 hover around the same spot in my brain... mind you, it's with a very macro perspective.

The Guentzal comparison is really interesting, I never thought of that. I perceived Comtois as a heavier, less cerebral player, but I think it's a totally valid take.

I'd love for Pitt to target Max Jones... what do you think the price for him is? I remember talking with you before about which pieces Anaheim would be looking to acquire from Pitt, I don't think they add up well as Pitt doesn't have much that would move the needle for the Ducks.</div></div>

I think that the general consensus is that Comtois is ahead of all of our young players and prospects at LW. Max Jones appears to be developing well, and Dan Heinen might do so, too, if he gets enough playing time, but Sonny Milano's career has been derailed by his injury this year and we haven't seen anything of Brayden Tracey yet. The GC is also that Sam Steel might be another Casey Mittelstadt, with the consolation that he wasn't taken as high in the draft. The jury is still out on Troy Terry, too, but I think that we'll protect him in the expansion draft.

As you point out, our two teams are poor trade partners because of your three best prospects, two of them (Poulin and Joseph) are lefties and thus redundant of our needs, so the only Penguin assets in whom we might be interested are Nathan Legare and your 2022 first-round draft pick.

Thread: Deadline Theory - Roast Me
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>doublem24</b></div><div>Yea, Pitt is definitely in a rough spot.

If they were going to add, what do you think their approach would be?</div></div>

I think people are looking at their adding the wrong way.
They have 2 top lines if healthy.
They have a 3rd line, it's just not the line all of us want as a 3rd line. But they are playing 15 minutes a night and doing well enough. They might not be scoring but they are still outscoring the other team when out there.

What they need is a 8-10 minute a night line that can be a two way line. I don't see them spending big to get it. They simply aren't playing enough minutes to.
McCann is there, out of place and everyone knows it because he's a good offensive player but can be a two way guy. They should sit Jankowski and play Gaudreau and then they got one winger spot open for whoever can fil lit. And frankly, I don't see them looking to far for that.
Their defense is set. No need to change it. Jarry plays well and they have a decent team. Not great decent.

That "3rd" line just isn't going to get enough minutes to justify what fans want and I think they know it. Because to give them minutes means giving the "4th" line less. But why, when they are so good.
