B+ on the draft …. The 2nd rounders I’m not sold on… thought there were better options -
Surprised on Benoit …
Whatever happened to Comtois ??? Damn…

Verbeek, with his $39 million of salary cap room, has some plans for free agency that kicks off tomorrow at 9 a.m. PT. Verbeek: "We have a number of spots we plan to address. We want to add to our forward group on the wing and also help our blue line. We are in a good spot with the cap and we will be able to be flexible with that space.”
Now this I like to hear. |

Writing was on the wall for Comtois when Eakins publicly questioned his work ethic a few months back. Benoit is a bit of a surprise because the free agent market is a little thin.
Ducks should be able to find some secondary scoring and grit for the middle/bottom six and some depth on D, but the market is thin, and I think it’s unlikely that the few top end guys available will choose to be part of a rebuild. It’s possible to upgrade on D from last year (it would be hard not to), but I think it’s unlikely the Ducks will sign a top pairing guy.
Also, look for at least one short-term overpay to someone the Ducks can flip at the deadline. The one advantage the Ducks have is cap space, so they can overpay on one or two guys short-term. |

Hoping for Graves and Soucy on the backend...
Bertuzzi and Geekie or Bastian up front.

The message is don't f*** with Zellweger... I like it; 3-year term that gives other guys time to develop, and Ducks could afford to overpay a bit for some protection. |

Following the Trotz model for today at least...
Nasty older D man coupled with a aging F who has winning pedigree and gas left in the tank...
Money seems a little large... But if Tampa wanted him back .. I'm cool with it.
Makes us better for sure. And he is no wall flower.

Of course a pair of clowns over at the Athletic couldn't pile on this fast enough.. the AK signing .. while blowing all the other deals as great...
Yeah why wouldn't AK want to play with Z or McT or Carlsson .. gee.. what a drag... |
