third for a 4th liner

the market is weird this szn

Well Reaves was traded for 3rd.

People need to calm down.

High price yes, but nothing outrageous.

Enforcers with hockey skills are not common. It comes at a premium I guess.

Meanwhile Dubas went and got Clifford for some guy named Future Considerations

Weird huh

Either way paying a 3rd for a guy like this idk seems like a why move lul

Doesn't matter. It's a complete waste of an asset. Hell, signing Cody McLeod to an NHL deal would've accomplished the same thing.

Double posting; don't care. "Enforcer" and "hockey skill" are basically mutually exclusive terms nowadays. The best kinds of gritty players are the ones who are actually good, like Marcus Foligno and Lawson Crouse. Deslauriers brings absolutely nothing besides toughness; he's an awful forward.

I agree. Gonna be a lot of non-playoff teams looking to dump their pending UFA's on Monday afternoon.

You mix up grit and fighting skills.

Deslauriers brings 10G a year. If that's nothing to you, too bad.

If you’re a non-playoff team, you’re foolish not to dump all of your pending UFAs at the deadline for whatever you can get for them (if you don’t extend them first). Fortunately for Anaheim, “whatever you can get for them” is a lot this year. I’m curious to see what they’ll get for Rackell.

You are right sir

Every team has 3 guys like Deslaurier sitting on their AHL team.

Seems a deer.

This is just the wild adding grit and the ducks selling off what they can

If he keeps Foligno and Greenway out of the penalty box, this is a good one.

First period, game-winning goal. Any thoughts?

Guys score goals all the time. If you think that changes any player eval it is a stunning indictment of your own aptitude, respectfully

Irrelevant.

I expected an insult, and you didn't disappoint.

Wrong.

Right.

He also puts in time on the penalty kill, thereby excusing better players from that task.
