MAPLE LEAFS ACQUIRE BRAD MAY FROM DUCKS

In exchange, the Ducks receive a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2010. The move reunites May and Burke for the third time, after sharing stints with the Ducks and Vancouver Canucks.

May is a nice guy, but hey, i think we can move on whitout him...

[DoPeY5007]

it seams Burke only knows a handful of players.....

[anaheim ducks90]

Bye bye Brad! We will remember you as a member of the 2007 cup-winning team. Good luck in your hometown.

[DucksFan2035]

Go figure,his first dancing partner is the ducks

[thebellringer]

Brad May is a class act. I knew his time was limited, but I'll miss him. I think the team will miss his intangibles too.

[QuacksMeUp]

Do I see a pattern with who Toronto might acquire next? (hint: starts with M, ex-Canuck...?)

Of all the good ol' boys that Burkie brought to the Ducks, May was always a good fit in Anaheim. Steady, reliable and a genuinely nice person. Thanks for the Cup, MayDay! Enjoy the rest of your career wearing bleu.

[Perry61]

Very cool to see MayDay here in Toronto.

He was so nice when I chatting with him during the SC Finals in 07.

We talked about being from the same hometown etc.. was awesome.

So who do you think gets the call from Iowa? Getting slim pickings down there...

[TheJoeMan]

I totally saw this exact deal coming. I'm happy for Brad, he lost his spot on this team and this couldn't be a better situation for him. He seemed like one of the nicest and friendliest players we've ever had. I truly enjoyed his stay here and will always remember him hoisting the Cup. Good luck in Toronto Brad, you will be missed.

Don't need to recall anybody. Carter and Miller already in Anaheim.

[dctrjayyy]

That leaves only 22 on the roster. 7 D, 13F, 2G counting Perry who is still suspended for two games. They could operate without a spare forward for the next two games but not likely.

[West of House]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Now I have to change my Vote Ducks button.

[DuckNewbie]

My bet is....Nobody.

Perry is only out for 2 more games. In the mean time, Montador can fill any emergency forward opening, with McIver filling the vacated D-spot.

Better question: Are Miller and Ebbett now up for good? If only one, which one?


I'll miss May. Likable guy.
But I thought from day one that either May or Sutherby needed to be moved since they filled pretty much the same role. Now they're BOTH gone. Murray seems less enamored with "old tough guys" than Burkie was. (And that probably isn't a bad thing).

[Soundgirl2002]

So sad to see May leave the ducks....its going to be interesting to see how anaheim fills his spot or what they do next. Good luck to May in his home town of Toronto.

[Still MIGHTY]

NOOOOO!!!!

MAY DAY!!!!

I loved Brad May here. Always worked hard. Tough competitor. I loved his fire and his enthusiasm for the game. I will always remember Brad May. Never stepped down from a challenge. Favorite May moment may be when he fought some guy then got up and yelled and pumped his arms to encourage the crowd... That's just the guy he is.

Thank you, Brad May.
You will be missed.

[ladiesandgentlemen]

Great role player and model team guy, that Brad May. We'll miss ya, Mayday!!!

Burkie is putting a role model/mentor on his roster with this move. Too bad he wasn't as generous with his picks now as he was with the Ducks. He used to hand out second-rounders like candy...

[Todrick]

Looks like both Miller and Ebbet are Ducks.. At least till Teemu comes back.

He's saving that 2nd rounder for Morrison.

[Dutch Duck]

I will miss him too.
Good thing I own the Stanley Cup DVD. I love the bit of game one where he's wearing the mic:
Ottawa player (after May tries to deliver a hit): "Watch out for the boards!"
Brad May: "Who the f*** are you?"

[ladiesandgentlemen]

He's saving that 2nd rounder for Morrison.

That would be Saa-Weeeeet!

I would enjoy the gasket that would blow in TOR almost as much as I would taking away another of RC's security blankets...

Which brings up the point that I'm loving this current situation in that Carlyle is forced to play the young guys.

I'm totally comfortable with getting younger and getting faster. It's the new NHL.

[QuacksMeUp]

Couldn't possibly be better than the one that blew around here when Burkie went one time too many times to the "Canucks Seniors Team" well of good ol' boys.

[West of House]

I guess this is okay, though I feel like a tough veteran like Brad May would have higher value closer to the trade deadline. Well, he would be if he got any ice time, so maybe this is the best we can do.

[jojo983]

I liked Brad May and will be sad to see him go. All the best to him in Toronto.
