Former Ducks - (2023-24 Season Edition )

kunitz was a casualty of the ducks inability to add another legit 2C after mcdonald was dealt. hated that trade, but it did work out in the end with lubo and that ridiculous 2011 season he had

Ah yes, the infamous "tagging issue" that brought us a washed up crusty ol' Doug Weight.

Ah yes, the infamous "tagging issue" that brought us a washed up crusty ol' Dead Weight.

Fixed. He was useless when he was in Anaheim. His 14 points in 38 games as a 2C was so bad it makes Derek Grant look like a 1st ballot HOFer. Even with Selanne and Kunitz on his line he couldn't do shit.
Kunitz was traded during the next season.

and somehow, brendan morrison managed to out-suck dead weight the next season. it's pretty nuts how they didn't have a legit 2C after mcdonald until they traded for kesler 7 years later

What's the story of Zilch leaving the Gulls?

What's the story of Zilch leaving the Gulls?

There isn't one. One day they announced they'd hired Cooney. There was no fare-thee-well to Zilch or anything.

I couldn’t find anything indicating he had a new job anywhere. Seems kind of odd but not really surprising.

Thrun has 2 goals and 1 assist with SJ vs Vegas today.

Naturally.

Sam Steel scored in the Dallas/Coyotes game.

Thrun bet on himself and if he succeeds I'll be impressed

He's not a former Duck. He never signed a contract with them.

So. f***ing. Bad.

lol. they got a whopping 3 games out of klee and that's it. larsen never played for the ducks and painchaud was just minor league fodder

i think schneider actually passed through waivers, but still hilarious that they acquired 3 guys and only got 3 games out of all of them

Those early days of the salary cap were pretty wild. Schneider had 39 points in 65 games for us prior to that trade and wound up finishing 14th in Norris voting.

Hows Comtois doing'?

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Hows Comtois doing'?

"Comtois looked confused most of the night, which is probably understandable coming from the Ducks, but he did seem to want to try to hustle. He would be a solid addition if he can fit in and get back to what he is capable of doing. But that's the big question isn't it?"

Pretty much the only relevant comment I could find on the Vegas board about him.

Sounds like he’ll try just enough to get a contract then go back to his old self.

 

[Rybread86]

Hows Comtois doing'?

Every report Ive seen has only said "We will have to see how he looks in pre-season games". Most of the commentary has been about his potential and how he would be a great fit if he played like he did in 20-21.

'It's a win for Toronto': Simon Benoit vows to make Maple Leafs roster

Sheldon Keefe likes Simon Benoit's size and strength, and it's no secret the Maple Leafs could use an effective blueliner comfortable logging the grunt minutes.

As hard as he worked to get where he was, that’s understandable.
