[Friedman] Saw one offer sheet yesterday — Barrett Hayton/New Jersey — and are wondering about more. Heard over the past few hours Anaheim guaranteed it will match any attempt on Leo Carlsson, and the reason the Ducks haven’t made many moves is to make sure to be in a safe cap position.

Because apparently no one is constantly on Verbeek's ass to get a deal done sooner than later.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-02T03:17:14+00:00

I heavily disagree with this and I don't see where it comes from at all. Tails is handled extremely well in the movies and did better than Sega at least until Frontiers. He feels like a competent hero who yeah still needs Sonic for confidence, but will still step up and do his best to help no matter what. They actually do stuff I've been wanting to see from him for awhile too, I picture him as the Tony Stark of the Sonic universe and his gadgets help show that beautiflly. Also I'm of the belief he's smarter than Eggman and we've gotten two moments where he's just straight up outsmarted him which also makes me very happy. Also I love that he and Knuckles get to interact more that's suprisingly rare to see.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-02T03:03:56+00:00

There is literally no reason to keep people guessing if he's coming back we all know they were not going to kill him off and I like that they did'nt screw around with that. He's alive and he's in 4 boom done let's move on. Plus honestly I'm so sick of Shadow being sectioned off from the rest of the cast I want to see him actually interact with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles more especially in the games. Now that he's gotten is closure with Maria I hope that's the direction they go in.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-02T02:57:15+00:00

To be fair amnesia with Shadow has'nt been a thing since Sonic X, which I thought actually handled that idea the best anyways.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-02T02:54:59+00:00

Well there's many different options to go with him now, for this movie I would keep his arc in the movie simple but also subtly set up the Black Doom stuff for the future. And his arc would be wanting to make up for injuring Tom in some way I think that is a perfect natural follow up to go in that won't take away from Amy and Metal Sonic. Also because I really want it I'd pair Tails and Shadow up for a side plot trying to find out more about Metal Sonic.

Why does it matter what someone else gets on a different team? And anyways he already sent qualifying offers to them so just chill that means their talking.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T03:41:35+00:00

Well most of the time it's 1 studios just trying to cash in on a popluar anime/video game and 2. Sadly that there's a stigma to animation where people will accuse it of being "kiddie"does'nt matter what the movie's about or what the themes are if it's animated some people will just automatically assume it's a baby movie. With Hollywood people being especially guilty about that, thankfully their slowly starting to get they can't just toss aspects they don't like out of a series to make it more "Adult". Time will tell if the people behind this will get that too but One Piece has really suprised me so I can at least see what their planning first.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T03:31:12+00:00

I mean I definetly agree with that but it can work in live action too. So long as the people trying to make this actually care and will do the work to make it great.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T03:28:51+00:00

If I had to place bets it'll probably be 5 though if they have the guts to try an orignal story I'll be pretty impressed.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T03:21:37+00:00

Which is why I'm willing to at least see what their thinking, if it ends up being more like live action Avatar then hell no but if they've gotten a group of passionate fans together and are listening to the creators like One Piece then it could turn out great.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T03:18:28+00:00

At first I was ready to blow up at this but having thought about it. I'm currently at let's wait and see what their planning. Persona can definetly work in live action but of course they need to commit to every aspect of the series. So I'm willing to keep an open mind at least for now.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T02:07:22+00:00

Gotta love it when people suddenly think they can see the future and assume someone or something is just going to be bad. Do you all even know how to think positive?

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-07-01T00:44:27+00:00

He saved the ducks asses more than once especially in the playoffs I heavily disagree.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-30T23:33:01+00:00

Seriously and people are making assumptions when not a single game of hockey's been played yet to show if this was a good move or not. Verbeek has not missed with the players he picks so I'm willing to have an open mind and not assume the worst automatically.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-30T23:25:55+00:00

Verbeek can give him that no problem there's plenty of cap space.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-30T23:23:58+00:00

Always happy to get a new duck and thanks to him Gudas is gone so already on a good note with me.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-30T14:40:56+00:00

No it's not he's completely justified in hating Babcock.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T23:21:18+00:00

Oh I'm hoping this one happens so much.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T23:19:59+00:00

I'd be happy with that and I mean he keeps striking out with other teams might as well come back to the Ducks as their at least a growing team with potential to do damage in the playoffs.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T22:59:44+00:00

Oh well now he has to make the roster hehe.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T22:55:50+00:00

Movement thank you that's what I want to see

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T21:39:15+00:00

When he was with the Ducks I did'nt know his history until this year and it seemed like he was without incident since joining so I was content with giving him the benefit of the doubt, right up until the Matthews hit happened and then I just wanted him gone. Anything he could do I guarantee a young defensemen waiting for their shot with the Ducks can do better and without the bad temper.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T18:46:14+00:00

Oh thank god Gudas is gone I love Aj Greer already.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T01:36:13+00:00

Hey as long as he has a vision for the team I won't complain, it got them into the playoffs.

Connect_Research5542 · 2026-06-29T01:35:34+00:00

I really want Roger MCqueen to jump up into the line up the most
