6:47 the reason Trouba will get a better return is because he is significantly better than Gudas. Extend Trouba, but he makes Gudas redundant.
Lundy or Johnston, Killorn or Strome. My hope is all of the above.
On D, Trouba (31) or Gudas (35). Both on expiring. Luneau looks ready. Of the two, I don't think Gudas will be renewed just because of age. For snarl, Solberg in a few years will be a beast. On offense, Strome. If we get a Necas, Marner, Rakell, or Robertson that would move Killorn down possibly moving Strome to 4th line. As for anyone else, Beeker history has shown that RFA's will get non tendered instead of traded for some bizarre reason. Issue with Johnston last season is he was barely in the lineup. I think this was more of a Cronin issue than a Johnston. To compound this. The other veterans on the team, Gudas, Trouba, Strome, Killorn would not stand up for the youngsters. The only one's that did stand up consistently were Z and Vatrano, two guys you don't want to stand up. As for trades, both the Z and McT rumors all originate from Montreal, from bloggers, that seem to then become gospel across the league. Looking at Necas and Robertson, both teams are tight on the cap, so prospects and picks that we have plenty of might be doable.
Trouba was clear that his doctor wife’s career comes before his, so he will enforce his no trade clause to be with her. He will not be traded.
Strome and Gudas gotta go! I couldn’t see them playing a minute in the pace of the playoffs.
The Samuelli's set up Trouba's wife at UCI health, the guy will be retiring a Duck. Hopefully that means takig a team firneldy deal on AAV to get a full NMC over the course of his extension.
Gudas also wrote a book already, thats the kind of thing you do as you're about to retire. Loved the guy and his time here but he is headed for the front office if he is staying with the Org.
Basically we will improve through Free Agency…both Trouba and GUDAS are tough…we would need to replace two tough guys…keep both..young defenseman will get hammered and need protection…Ross Johnston is worthless …some of the lower players are easily replaced.
Keep Trouba, jettison gudas.
