Teams win championships.
We need a good right winger. Marner, sure, yes. At $14 million. No. I'd rather see Jason Bobertson (LW), Brock Boeser (RW). Ehlers or Sam Bennett would certainly be nice additions as well. Keep in mind Beckett Senneke is lurking in the background at right wing as well. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Marner on the Ducks but that's too much money. That's all I'm saying. Let's not forget, Verbeek likes size and we certainly could use some gritty players as well. I feel like the Ducks are a bit soft in players that can fight if necessary. Just another thing to keep in mind. One last thing, I'm also curious to see how/if Tim Washe fits in the linelup. At 6'3 he's another big body that seems like he likes hovering around the net. PS Helleson is a right handed shot.
I like your podcast…..but the word choices and speech patterns are confusing and difficult to follow….slow down and collect your thoughts….respectfully….go ducks!
Long time Rangers fan. First off, I just want to wish Krieder luck on the Ducks. With Krieder, you can't take the past season into account as almost everyone took a step back on the roster. What your getting is one of the most dangerous players in the league when it comes to special teams play on both ends. Krieder is also still one of the best garbage goal scoring forwards in the league still, despite his age. For people who don't understand the term, "garbage goals" It means he turns second chances the goalie gives, into goals.
