Oh I'm not questioning his skill at all he's a very talented player, he is too much like Dustin Penner though, he's got the skill but he was extremely lazy especially this last year, and at times the year before. He just doesn't seem to care at points and seems to think he's entitled to a spot on the team. He was honestly the worst player on Anaheim this season (For the 7 games he played) although Bobby gave him a run for his money, Bobby was clutch a couple times. 

I don't see any way he could have been on our 4th line at all this year though to be honest. Even if he was playing well the Ducks 4th line was our best line a lot of nights especially once we got Steckel

Bonino, Palmieri, Belesky, Etem, Holland and Maroon all played very very well when they played, I wouldn't sub in DSP for any of them last season.

Maroon did not play good for Anaheim but okay. Steckel trade was stupid on our behalf and fucked us in the end against Boston when we couldn't win a draw.

Are you serious? Lol Maroon was awesome, his chemistry with I wanna say it was Etem but I could be mistaken was absolutely amazing. Maroon was one of my favorites this past season.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I was just re-watching highlights and it was Peter Holland and Maroon not Etem, who were just picking apart the Preds their cycle was really quite impressive. Not to mention he would fight when the Ducks were down. I'm not quite sure what you mean by he didn't play well because I didn't see much of anything he did to say he didn't do well

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I wouldn't do Grabo + Franson for Bobby tbh.

Lmao.

Dave Bolland ison OTR right now .

Lmao.

Rather keep Franson. Guy played extremely well last year and continued that into the playoffs. I think he was on pace for 50pts and was a PPG player in the playoffs. He struggled his first year with the Leafs but showed this year that he is a great player. The way Maxy has been talking about Bobby idk why we want him. Maxy has been saying he is lazy and selfish.

He's not lazy he's just streaky. And he's still a very good player. He's still one of the only players to put up 30 goals in each of his first 4 seasons. In a place where he could be the best player (Which he could in Toronto) I think he'd do fine. But I still wouldn't make that trade as a Ducks fan. Grabo's replaceable by Bonino and Franson while I love him holds mediocre to good value and Bobby's value is very high

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I'd rather pay Filppula then trade for Grabovski, unless Leafs keep salary. Or take on one or more of Samuelsson/Bert/Colaiacovo.

Kessel would still be the best player if Ryan was traded to Toronto. But if the trade did happen for Ryan it would be for Grabovski and some scraps because we always seem to get the better deal when we trade with Anaheim. I mean Steckel deal was to free up a roster spot for Lupul to return so minor but we owned the others.

Hmm Kessel- 4 30g seasons and a defensive liability
Ryan- 4 30g seasons and not a defensive liability

I'd take Ryan any day.


but what you mean the one other trade the Ducks have made with the Leafs of any substance? Beauchamin trade I'd still make again. He was our best defensemen by far this season while Lupul was once again... Hurt and Gardiner played what 10 games? Lol. Beauch was 4th in Norris trophy voting.

How about Tyler Biggs for Rickard Rickell and John Gibson :ssst:

You have a lot wrong with you if you would trade Lupul+Gardiner for Beauchemin. lol

Biggs trade was draft picks and non of them have done anything in the NHL so that point is not valid.

How about that Blake+Toskala for JSG....

Also Ryan played with Getzlaf & Perry on their line and he couldn't put up a PPG. Kessel played with a 3C and a bunch of different wingers and put up a PPG. And Kessel isn't really that big of a liability defensively anymore. Especially this past season. So again, not valid. lol

On and Kessel would of had 30 again this year and Ryan wouldn't of.....so Kessel would have more 30 goal seasons despite being drafted a year later.
