Trouba also was in the ice when dostal gave away the slam dunk goal to the rangers. So doesn’t matter if he was on the ice with Terry. A layup goal, given up by dostal is much more costly to gf% than playing with Terry.
If we plan on trading Fowler at 6.5 without retaining, we need the full trouba cap hit at 8.0 to stay above the cap floor also with Vaks 1.1 hit gone. Also per the athletic, retaining on trouba during a trade whether it’s this season or next is definitely worth more than a 4th. On the surface this trade looks like a huge L but I think there’s more to it.
The young d getting some rest in December during a tough schedule this month. With a couple back to back games this month is fine. Verbeek will trade Fowler, and possibly lacombe + for a much needed scoring winger when one becomes available.
Gudas has been so bad, that the team will announce in the summer that it will be gudas last season as captain with the team. Essentially Trouba who’s a few years younger and better than gudas, will replace gudas as our long term vet dman. We will resign him
I think trading Dumoulin would be a mistake. The kids need a veteran to teach them what it means to win. Dumoulin is so calm and reliable he rarely ever makes mistakes. He’s played with the best and won cups with the best. I put his mentorship qualities far above anything Fowler or Gudas can bring to the table.

lol at Trouba clearing waivers. Come on jake.
He's been putting up bottom pairing numbers for 3 straight seasons and is making 8 million, smart GMs aren't claiming that.

Just because jake doesn’t like Trouba, doesn’t mean this trade “ is a big l “
Correct. I think all the hatred is directed towards Truba himself as a dirty player. The casuals can’t look past that.
If Porter Martone falls into the Ducks lap that would be huge but I think he'll be gone at 5.

Idk how much value Fowler has at his contract, might be negative value
Pluty sighting! LFG!
If Anaheim is in the 6-10 range in the draft, I’m taking a hard look at Viktor Eklund.
Is the locker room so bad that they felt the need to make this trade?

Upside down ducks logo is disrespectful
Anaheim wants McTavish to play like Brady Tkachuk? Brady is a winger. The cognitive dissonance of this team sometimes gets me.

You keep Dumo, Gudas, and Trouba. Everyone else is out.
@@tykara3404 I would have agreed last year but Gudas has been terrible this season.
