another 3rd/4th liner? why?

[HillerGirl]

big, tough 3-4-liner... roughly 1 minor per game... or is it 1 major per 2-3 games? how many times a guyt can fight?

i'm thinking Ducks will enter a sale season soon
buy 1 bottom forward get 2 free....

[Dukes Fan]

another 3rd/4th liner? why?

Seems like Voros will be competing for ice time with Parros...not sure how that makes sense unless this is part of something larger. I really didn't like Eminger, but it's not like the cup runneth over with NHL ready D-men.

[Syko]

Good thing that Eminger is gone, i smell some Dmen coming our way.. And Voros? I dont think he will make the team

[DUX714]

another 3rd/4th liner? why?

Probably because they are LW. ??

[Dark Knight]

Either the Ducks are expecting the kids to step up on defense or there's a trade coming soon.

[HillerGirl]

oh so that's substitute for Brownie?

i liked Mike better
well i haven't really seen Voros but i liked Brown better

[QuackHead]

we freed up 600k and nabbed a prospect in Hillier. We probably had to take something back so were stuck with Varos in the deal. Is Varos on a 1-way contract or 2? If he's on a two send he and Hillier to the AHL. If he's on a 1-way, is he worth keeping or would you waive him?

Varos is big, but he's a center...

+1

[ladiesandgentlemen]

Voros takes a lot of stupid penalties.


R2 II

[Still MIGHTY]

YES! THE DEAD WEIGHT IS GONE!

Voros is serviceable, and are we trading our overstock or RWs for an overstock of LWs?

And yea, I either expect a trade or we're gonna jump in on an offer sheet somewhere. Because now we really need defensemen. Or it'll be a slew of trial by fire on the blueline

Also, good on the Ducks.

It's either the fact that some of it has been low key news, but they have been breaking a lot of their own stories lately, via twitter and the web site. Good for them.

I just hope the trade to come doesnt involve bobby leaving...

i would do bobby ryan for kaberle, schenn and kadri

[pucky]

Seems like Voros will be competing for ice time with Parros...not sure how that makes sense unless this is part of something larger.

Except for Parros is a RW and Voros is a LW. Murry said he wanted Parros to play more, and the reason he traded Brown was because neither could play LW very well. Murry said he was in the market for a 4th line LW, and this seems to be it.

Bobby would be great for that type of trade but since we still dont know what teemu is gunna do, bobby is too much of a scoring asset to lose.

[QuackHead]

I think everyone would.

[letsgoducksdotcom]

So the 4th line is Voros, Chipchura, Parros


Third line is Marchant ... Bodie and Blake .. something like that?

Leaves the top 6 as Getz Perry, Ryan, Koivu, Lupul, Selanne ... maybe Beleskey Bonino Sexton trying to find a spot to play? Am I missing anyone?

Varos is big, but he's a center...

He's on a 1 way contract but as you said we cleared about 600k in salary so it's alright with me. And he's listed as a LW. I really didn't like Eminger anyways.

ok, hmm he's listed as a center on his ESPN profile. Last time I go there haha.

well, Varos can play left, likes to fight and has nice size. sounds like a good 4th liner, don't like the dumb penalties though as L&G stated.

[Todrick]

another 3rd/4th liner? why?

Clearly it's cause of that surplus of Defenseman and lack of 3rd/4th line forwards.


I am glad to see us get an ACTUAL LW though...

now we have 2

[MrsBevo]

We just need a Hill to have Hill, Hiller and Hillier.
Parros and Voros. Any other "ros" we can add to that line?

[Todrick]

i would do bobby ryan for kaberle, schenn and kadri

too bad Burke wouldn't

[TecKaHoLiC]

More and more caps room and nothing to spend it on
