  1. Call me crazy but these Panthers signings are starting to look like the 2010s Red Wings. Of course COMPLETELY different situations the Panthers are a dynasty while the Wings were failures but, this feels like rewarding loyalty which is good but I don't know how many more Cups after this year the Panthers are going to be able to win.

  2. Surprised at Kerins being waived, I thought he had a good camp. Hopefully he passes through and gets to the Wranglers, so we can bring him back later.

  3. Heinen has played like absolute garbage in every preseason game so far this year for the Pens. I've never seen the guy play as bad as he has this preseason. I really hope some team decides to take him.

  4. With the LaCombe extension and the Luke Hughes extension I wonder what Edvinsson will ask Detroit for, situation is a bit different as he is only the #2 Defenseman in Detroit but it’s still something this wings fan thinks about

  5. I love LaCombe, one of my favorite dmans right now. I know how overlooked he is just cuz he is on the Ducks, so the reaction from people doesnt surprise me. During my fantasy draft, I knew he would drop so I was able to draft him later than when he should have went. Cant wait to watch him this season, absolute stud.

  6. Huberdeau may be out longer than maintenance, he rag dolled and was out cold for a few seconds. Still under investigation so likely concussion protocol at minimum.

  7. So what's with Verbeek in Anaheim…you play hardball with yr #2 centre who has many nhl games…yet u throw $9M at LaCombe no problem who has barely played in the nhl. Why treat McTavish that way???

  8. I have zero problems with teams, especially lesser market teams, paying their young guys before they get a taste of getting close to UFA. There's been enough of a sample size to realize tha these deals do workout for the most part, even if they do become an "overpayment", I'm sure it also helps build a nice relationship between the player and the brass.

    Personally, there would be nothing fun about these guys getting close to hitting the open market and seeing the same 4-5 fanbases brag about them potentially going to their team.

  9. For me, the difference between LaCombe and McTavish will be in their NEXT contracts.

    LaCombe may find himself underpaid in the last half of his contract. 😭

    McTavish, if he continues on his career arc, will be due for a major raise. That means Anaheim will either have to back up the Brink's Truck, or trade him in year 5 or 6 of his contract rather than lose him as a UFA.

    So either Anaheim finally pays McTavish for real, vs the Pat Verbeck cheap nonsense.
    Or Anaheim loses a top level number 2 center right when the team might be a contender.

    But then quality second line centers are a dime a dozen. Right VC? Right TML? Right MTL?

    In simpler language, McTavish is playing for his NEXT contract.
    Which will NOT be with Anaheim.

    👋👋👋

  10. I didn't even think about Tampa getting Copley means that Vasy is maybe not ready, I was thinking it's to get rid of Johansson.

  11. When I saw 8 x 9 I was concerned as a Ducks fan but I was glad to see that we got him for 8 so there is some slight confliction in my thoughts for that contract

  12. Very smart move on the ducks’ front office. Lacombe is Avery mature, big and physical. Just such a coordinated defense man! Go ducks!

  13. It will be interesting to see how fans view this deal if LaCombe is a good defender that ultimately tops out as a 40 – 50pt guy.

  14. 60 career points for Lacombe, not saying he isn’t worth it but that’s quite the bold move by the ducks.

  15. It’s going to be bad for the ducks. If he doesn’t perform well in all those eight years people are going to criticize him like they criticize cam Fowler

  16. I remember everybody bashing bouchards contract now seeing luke hughes and lacombe contracts theres no way anybody could say it was an overpay. Could be argued he took a little discount actually.
