Thread: Offseason Series - Ducks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>noted</b></div><div>LeCombe can play right side. I agree more ideal to trade Krug but also harder to do so</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>Can he play it well enough to be a productive RD2? I like what Kessel has shown, but i also liked what Tucker shhowed last year. It's too early to put all the chips on him into being a top 4 guy. I'm very comfortable with him paired with Krug in more of a 3rd pair role though. I'm just not sure I'm comfortable with Lacombe and whomever we'd have to sign to be a top 4 pair</div></div>

He can play the right, he did it in college, but this year he has played way better on the left (part of that too though is how terrible most of the Ducks D has been). He has played his best hockey paired with Gudas. He struggled a bit at the start of the season playing pretty much exclusively on the right with Fowler, so for a still developing defensemen, I probably wouldn't advise playing him on the right side

Thread: Potential RHD option
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Some version of Faulk for LaCombe seems reasonable -- what do Hayes and Strome have to do with this?

Vatrano and Killorn are our two second-line wings until Cutter Gauthier is ready . . . unless we win the you-know-who sweepstakes. (Don't want to jinx us.)</div></div>

Mostly just looking long term, Hayes contract expires before the year the Ducks have like $20 million needing to go to RFAs, just clears out space to help with being able to sign them all and stay under the cap. I have an unposted version of this (its kind of wonky) where I tried to guess all the RFA deals and somehow they don't fit under the cap so having Strome's $5 Mil off the books clears some space to help make that happen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>noted</b></div><div>Why is Gauthier getting $9.8M for 2 years before playing a game?</div></div>

Fixed it, idk how that 8 got in there lol

Thread: Who say no and why
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>No, Caufield is the rarer player, how many true snipers are there in hockey? Guys with the potential to put up 30, 40 or even 50 goal seasons? Now how many Suzuki type centers are there? Good 2 way centers who will average between 60 and 80 points a season? The ratio is probably about 2:1 in favour of the Suzuki type of players.

Edit*** So I checked, on 2022-23 there were 12 Centers who scored between 60 and 80 points, there were 5 LW and 8 who scored more than 30 goals. So my evaluation was off but it still isn't a trade to be made, you don't create a hole in your lineup to fill another one, that's illogical, that's how you end up with Drouin for Sergachev types of deals</div></div>

Habs with Suzuki and Thomas are a top 3 team in the league next season for sure
