Am i not allowed to not care for the return?So you are upset over just a roster player or a low end prospect? Seems minimal to be this vocal about. Oilers are gearing up for a run, they weren’t going to send back any player that can replace Henrique, and we have enough of our own low end prospects.
You win this round.I'm back.
Can't say I didn't tell Ya'll
It would have made the trade more even to me.So a “low end prospect” or a roster player would have made this a win in your book?
Never suggested a blue chip prospect nor have I suggested just letting him go for nothing.It's either that or we get nothing. It's not like Henrique as a rental is a good enough asset to get a blue chipper anyway.
yeah im aware he was going to be retained, never suggested otherwise. Just thought he should have returned more.Objecting to retention on Henrique is not reasonable. With his contract, any trade was going to be at 50% retention to the ducks. Full stop.
You are. You were the original one coming in and criticizing others for being happy with the return though no? And your justification of that was us not receiving a low end prospect. If you want to be mad, by all means, but don’t ruin your day over a low end prospect.Am i not allowed to not care for the return?
All I originally said was i wasn’t happy with the return. Others came at me for not loving it.You are.

If you want to be mad, by all means, but don’t ruin your day over a low end prospect.
if?The ducks are 3rd to last in the league. There’s no good argument to keeping either of Carrick or Henrique. Vatrano I can understand the argument for keeping around because you can always move him next year if we’re bad again
Agree 100%. We have more than enough low end prospects and bottom six players in our organization. Edmonton was looking to add, not subtract a productive roster player. Unless EDM had a skilled prospect that needed a change of scenery or was injured and not playing, I think PV did fine with the return. At least a 5th round pick might become some draft capital over the summer.So you are upset over just a roster player or a low end prospect? Seems minimal to be this vocal about.

No.Perry, Henrique, and Carrick on the Oil... Dare I say I'll have some Ducks fans cheering for the Oil with me?
Come on Tom. We haven't even got through the summer yet. Can't we start off with a positive thought?
Ha! I am being positive!!Come on Tom. We haven't even got through the summer yet. Can't we start off with a positive thought?
I'll be rooting for the Oilers now. I think McDavid deserves a cup, he's earned it. Add Perry, Henrique and Carrick to that and it's a no brainer for me to hope they win.
I guess Edm has suffered enough. Sort of a win/win. Ex-Ducks get a cup or Edm keeps suffering. Besides, there's still Toronto's suffering to keep me satisfied.
Really? You don't think Johnston has anything to do with the team not getting cheap shotted as much? Why do you think? I'd like to hear thisNot likely tbh. And has nothing to do with Johnson
I'm positive they won't be good next yearWhy don't I believe you???
I knew I was right!I'm positive they won't be good next year
(hopefully slightly improved though)
Can't believe we didn't get at least Draisaitl back.
Saying there hasn't been a Terry incident since Johnston was claimed kind of overlooks that there also hasn't been a Terry incident since the Terry incident, including all last season where we had no Johnston and only played Carrick in 52 games.It hasn't happened since Johnson was claimed but definitely the softer the team gets more likely.
Yep, and maybe using all 3 retentions slots says that maybe PV wasn’t interested in moving Vatrano

The ducks were very unlikely to retain on Vatrano given the extra year on his deal and how reasonable his contract is. No reason they'd have to. But as others have pointed out, it does strongly suggest Gibson is staying.
It is weird to me so many people insist Johnston doesn't offer protection to other players. Johnston doesn't bring much else. Cronin plays him so it sure seems he disagrees. But I'm sure you know better.
Each year to Edmonton. Eventually, it’ll be 1st overallI have a cunning plan ...
He re-signs for one year. Next year rental trade again. Repeat. His family gets to stay in OC, he gets to chase the Cup every year, we keep piling up 1sts.
I don't think Silf was getting any more than a 5th, maybe a 4th at best, even with 50% retention. I'm happy to let him finish out his contract (and maybe his NHL career) in Anaheim.Kills any chance of Silf being dealt as well.
