GMBM growing a pair

Matched

Love the idea of signing Carlo but ducks need a scorer. Comtois & Mahura will likely be in San Diego next year (sadly). Jones will be in there & I really want to see Hakanpaa. Hopefully the ducks rid themselves of Shore, Ritchie, Del Zotto, Deslauriers, & Martinsen. And does anyone know if Eaves is going to play next year?

I think Comtois makes the roster out of camp, again. Mahura will be battling Larsson for that last spot.

If the ducks can solidify that top 4 defense and add a scorer they will be good.

Eaves is either going to be on IR or start the season in the AHL.

Why would Murray try to sign a player to an offer sheet when he knows the other team would match? Why would Carlo (or any RFA for that matter) sign an offer sheet with the Ducks in the first place that wasn't an absolute over-payment? I get the idea of offer sheets are fun to speculate about but this team that isn't even that aggressive with UFAs will never be that aggressive with other team's RFAs. I mean, look how he treats his own? He put Ritchie over a barrel last year and won. Spectacularly. I can't think of anything more fruitless for this franchise to engage in right now than an offer sheet, especially in a rebuilding year.

Del Zotto, Deslauriers and Martinsen were all just acquired. Seems kind of pointless to look to move them before they've even played. They're also role players who are all just going to be spares anyway. And Shore and Ritchie are each on really cheap contracts and produce at decent rate for those prices (Ritchie especially). I see no burning need to move these players. There's room for them all most of the young guys to make the team. Eaves will probably never play hockey again.
