So I was wondering...

PERSONAL FEELINGS and 6/6/07 NOSTALGIA ASIDE

Ducks, winners or losers at the Deadline?

[QuackHead]

we probably need some more info. or verification on what we got for Sammi but I'de say absolutely without knowing. Mainly because half the guys we traded are going to be UFAs.

[HillerGirl]

ok for a second i turned off the heart... jsut used the brain...

it is a better team... potentially... i actually really wanna see them play now... i wanna see how they click together...

that's where I'm at... though i have to wonder who, without personal feelings, voted "worst day ever" LOL

[ladiesandgentlemen]

Is this test going to be graded?

chemistry may take a while...

Even TSN was talking about how big a win it was for the Ducks... complimenting Murray on his moves in the last week and how he has effectively gotten younger, faster and cheeper while only shedding potential FA's

[Davison]

if i was murray id give these thier own line new players + same situation= bonding= chemistry

[Todrick]

I, for one was very worried about Miller and Ebbett...

So I'm happy

if i was murray id give these thier own line new players + same situation= bonding= chemistry

we don't have enough NHL ready guys for that...

We can however stick Nikelainen with Miller(rookie) and niedermayer(veteran) which should work well.

[Davison]

Petri Kontiola i really hope this was the tag along with wizzy for sammi

[chex]

Emotions aside, Murray made the right moves. Even though we may not know much about what we got back, it's better than nothing (which is what we would have gotten for these players in 4 months). Now I'll go quietly mourn the loss of Sami and Moen

yeah but though you can't see a good fit right away, u definitely realize if there in no way smth is going to work (cough-Morrison-cough)

if i was the GM id do it id make a line for them
for the rest of season.

we arnt going far in the playoffs so lets give them the games now so next season we can have lads knowing the level of play
and if we make the playoffs then they will get that experence

[Dutch Duck]

I'm preety happy too. We couldn't do much worse this season so I guess the roster we have now can do better, maybe we'll make the playoffs and who knows where we go from there.

[TecKaHoLiC]

here is a thought: If Scott wasn't coming back, why would we keep Rob?

good point but is it in scottys contract to have his brother here while hes here

no

robby ...well id rather have moen but this is my team and ill stand behind the name and the players of the team

[Dutch Duck]

here is a thought: If Scott wasn't coming back, why would we keep Rob?

Or Scott himself

[Davison]

we have cap space now

no morrison

marchant will take a pay cut im sure

[Dark Knight]

Too early too tell, not enough evidence. And I can't believe how many of you are wanting to jump off a bridge because your favorite player's been traded. Give me a break.

This isn't about your feelings. It's a business where the organization makes decisions based on what they think it's best for them. Your feeling are not a part of the equation. It's not about you.

[TheSniper]

well ill tell you what...cant say we are winners or losers yet....but what i can say is our coach may not be willing to change the ducks game but our GM is......i think having younger players playing under RC is going to utilize RC the best and get the most out of those players......but arnt some of these guys UFA's at the end of the year?

[VegasJeff]

Any return on potential FA's are good in my book.

[ladiesandgentlemen]

here is a thought: If Scott wasn't coming back, why would we keep Rob?

Because nobody else wanted him?

Just a thought...

[GoonerDuck]

Short term: Worse.

Long term: Very much better.

And I thought *I* was the only cold hearted bastard!

I tend not to "fall in love" with players....but I will hate one now and again.

(But I still have to go home and console my wife. She's not a fan of change, and hasn't come to grips with Kunitz being gone yet).

Exactly.
