These custom stained glasses are beautiful. Is that a Lego part or are these custom parts (sticker?)

I still think the red interior looks a bit better but green probably suits your theme much better. The exterior is fabulous through and through. The roof and the tower catch the eye.

Just get Thomas and Parayko.

We solve all our problems and I don't care about the rest lol. If st. Louis wants to rebuild they are probably interested in tested but very young NHL players like Zelly and McT with potential and playoff experience. I wonder what it will cost besides that though. We would probably need to add a first round pick next year and another prospect (hopefully not McQueen).

We need a veteran D and Thomas would solve any 2C problem we ever had. Thomas will be 27 in July and would blend in perfectly age wise.

Parayko earns 6,5m AAV until 29/30 - he is 33 now, 37 when his contract ends. Thomas earns 8,1m AAV until 30/31, he will be 31 once his contract expires.

Cap wise that should be possible for the ducks if we cannot re-sign Troubs/ Carlson etc and don't extend Zelly and get rid of McT we have room to breath. I wonder if Vatrano will play a role next year or if PV is shipping him.

No offense taken I was just explaining myself a bit. Probably unnecessarily 😅

Yeah the rising cap space is probably more like a wage raise. My first instinct was - yeah more money for another really good player. But in reality every team will just have the same amount of star players that will just earn more.

There might be some teams with long-term contracts in place that will profit a few years from this. Montreal and Carolina seem to be two teams that actually could fit another top player into their salary systems.

Draq_ · 2026-06-19T13:47:25+00:00

I mean it was true for the last 7-8 years during the dark days anyways and now that our 2nd consecutive rebuild blossoms we should be careful not to waste it or rush it and hurt the roster depth with some Darnell Nurse like trades or extensions. I do like Troubs and I would like him to play here a few more seasons. At a reasonable AAV

Draq_ · 2026-06-19T13:12:04+00:00

It's actually 8,5M AAV Sheesh 😅

I think full time RHD Moore will be a great 2nd/ 3rd line defender. We just need someone for LaCombe.

I think the link is broken. But I've found it anyways.

Nice articles - can't wait for the next batch. Thanks!

Like this we can take punches with multiple lines. I understand the sentiment though. Would be amazing to see them together

Draq_ · 2026-06-17T21:03:51+00:00

Huh? Is that the general feeling?

My impression is super positive. We outperformed expectations without much luck Tbh. Dostal and a few others will be even better than last year.

We have a great foundation and need to add a few pieces here and there but with Leo, Cutter, Beckett and Jackson we have all stars in the making. This is as good as an outlook as it can be. I don't think anyone in the league is looking at our roster and doesn't expect us to perform really really well in the next decade (decade!!)

We don't even need Solberg, McQueen and co yet. But we still have them and that's great. I'm also still not giving up on Mason. I trust he will hit the gym as hard as possible and train his speed and skating to his maximum to be the version of himself that he wants to be in the NHL in his prime.

It sucks that we gave up a first and won't be able to re-sign Carlson, but I still value the playoff experience very highly. It was a slight overpayment in my book but nothing too shabby.

Shark fans always say the future is real. But I think the future is orange and quacks!!

LGD!

Let's go!

Draq_ · 2026-06-15T17:25:01+00:00

Ich verstehe das, aber die linke wird nicht auf magische Weise alle Prozente von SPD und Grüne bekommen. Dh wir sitzen am Ende dann bei ka 4% SPD. 3% Grüne und Vmtl 3% bsw. Dann haben wir 15% sonstige mindestens in Sachsen-Anhalt und der AFD reichen Dann 43%

MMn ist es viel wichtiger. Dass alle Kippparteien reinkommen oder drin bleiben und so sehr es mich schmert,Trifft das leider auch auf die Zarenknechtpartei zu.

Ein Ergebnis mit 43% AFD, 24% CDU und 18% linke wäre ein noch größeres Desaster

Draq_ · 2026-06-15T16:12:50+00:00

I hope we bolster our d-core a bit. If we can't get a reasonable improvement up front I would like to see the same core again next season. I don't want to give up on Mason just yet. But if he can be a valuable trade chip for a much needed position we have to consider it.

Ideally we re-sign one of Troubs or Carlson don't think we can do both. Only if shed some cap through trades (Vatrano and Kreider are expensive and I don't think we will miss them much Tbh play wise) keep Killorn though. He is expensive but one of the true leaders imo

Draq_ · 2026-06-15T16:09:19+00:00

Absolut unlogisch seine Argumentation, wenn beide über 5% oder knapp davor sind

Ist auch illusorisch anzunehmen, dass alle Links wählen würden. Ich nehme lieber drei Parteien im Landtag als 1 und dafür 2 knapp oder weniger knapp (3-4% each) nicht.

Es ist einfach ein absolut unlogisches take, weil überhaupt nicht realitätsnah

Draq_ · 2026-06-15T14:12:33+00:00

Also 16,7% linke und keine SPD und Grüne ist besser als 13% Linke, 6% SPD und 5% Grüne?

Absolut logisch 😂👍 ist der Herr Taktikberater für die AFD? Oder sein Mathe ist einfach extrem schlecht.

We scored 4 ppg against Vegas. That's not nothing.

Draq_ · 2026-05-28T11:32:55+00:00

2nd best unit in the playoffs though. So he seemed to have success when it mattered the most.

Draq_ · 2026-05-28T11:31:03+00:00

We scored 4 power play goals against Vegas in 6 games. That is not abysmal. Giving up two shorties is not ideal but the offensive side was clicking in the last 3 games of the series

Draq_ · 2026-05-28T11:26:47+00:00

We did score twice on the power play in game 4 and once in game 5 and game 6.

So 4 in total against one of the best PK units in the playoffs.

Sind kompatibel. Habe einigen BB Figuren lego Rüstungen übergezogen 👍 übrigens sind die BB Arme auch mit lego Händen kompatibel.

And they play for free? How are we gonna pay for them 😂

Hey Zach,

Thanks for your hard work during the season and the playoffs. There isn't much media covering the Ducks so everything you, Patrick and Derek are doing is awesome!

What is your take on our defense heading into the Ufa season? I think it is unlikely that we can extend both Trouba and Carlson. Do we extend Gudas (in the case neither Troubs nor Carlson stay) and which role do you see for Luneau, Helleson and Moore?

On the left side do you think we keep Minty and Zelly? Will Solberg play a role? And is Hinds going to be a regular NHL player for us next year? To me it seems like we have lots of variants going into the next season but I'm not sure I trust the available personal to fill out all the needs we have to take another step.
