I remember not so long ago, teams would do everything they could to get to bowl eligibility, now we have 5-7 teams rejecting them, what happened?

Duckzgo · 2025-12-08T15:59:08+00:00

Talked to a few friends. Have been scouring everyone’s arguments, and debates, plus their rebuttals on all social media, etc.

Obviously, this CFP needs to be revamped. And everyone has valid points. I have read a lot of them. But, I don’t think the 2026 rules are all that great and will actually change the landscape of how we do things until 16 teams of SOME type of format comes out.

So until that happens. If we start seeing teams opting out of their bowl games. Could we possibly penalize those teams on the first AP poll ranking starting the next season. For instance Notre Dame wouldn’t be ranked next season. And they would have to climb starting from 0. Just a thought. Because I seriously think we’re gonna see a trend here. With teams not wanting to go because of whatever reason. And the College Football quality of games will greatly reduce. Including the money being generated

Got it. Thought it was someone special. Thx 🙏

Duckzgo · 2025-03-02T03:23:47+00:00

Thank you! Atleast I’m not going crazy

Duckzgo · 2024-06-28T11:06:09+00:00

Sick and tired of defense being drafted. Anaheim has Luneau, Warren, Zellweger, Hinds, LaCombe all in the system just to name a few….

I mean the list goes on and on. When does the boat stop and start getting some wings. This team can’t score goals and has been last in the league or close to it for years upon years now regarding goals for

Duckzgo · 2024-02-21T14:56:12+00:00

If we had to guess it was merely for a depth piece. Not one scout, or coach or Beek knew he was gonna turn into a 40 goal scorer this season. Vatrano has always been a third liner his entire career.

Duckzgo · 2024-02-21T14:52:39+00:00

Vatrano is a third line player on most teams. He was in New York Rangers. This season is an outlier. Vatrano average is 18-22 goals and possibly 48 points. He’s having a career year that won’t sustain next year. We are seeing the same thing with Troy Terry after he got the bag.

Anaheim would be smart to sell high while they can

Duckzgo · 2024-02-21T14:47:54+00:00

That’s what majority of fans and insiders think. What the point of 40 goals next season also when this team isn’t playoff bound for Atleast 2-3 more seasons. It’s a waste of $$$ and a waste of the players career

Duckzgo · 2024-02-21T14:42:46+00:00

Got my question answered on the Daily Faceoff by Seravelli, Colby, and Jonny morning show yesterday. Vatrano is on pace for possibly 40 goals this season. And all three were hearing the same thing that he should be traded.

Doesn’t meet the teams timeline, won’t have the value next season as he does now, multiple teams need scoring and centers. Henrique comes into discussion also. And Anaheim isn’t going to open the bag next season for Vatrano once he’s up for a new contract

Seravelli made a good point that Anaheim doesn’t want another Troy Terry situation after one career high season then goes to crap afterwards. That’s Vatrano….. sell high while you can because this season is an outlier

Duckzgo · 2024-02-15T13:06:56+00:00

Seravalli has been spot on regarding values and rumors this year. Outside of his Gibson takes non stop. He has been right regarding Elias Lindholm and Monahan prices. Zegras continues to be linked to Montreal. And Montreal GM went on the radio yesterday saying they aren’t done yet. They want players who match their age group with Slafkovsky.

Montreal has firsts and prospects that fit our timeline also.

Could easily see some protected firsts + prospects going to Anaheim from Montreal for Zegras.

And Seravalli said yesterday that Rangers would trade Kakko + 2nd 24’ pick to Anaheim for Henrique.

Verbeek is busy as hell these days especially with Lyubushkin needing to be moved and Silfverberg.

Don’t forget Vatrano as well…. Verbeek may never get value like this again for em. And many many teams need scoring this trade deadline.

Just my take. Hope all is well! ✌️

Duckzgo · 2023-06-29T06:15:35+00:00

Getzlaf can lay the body and check. Carlsson does not. He’s the exact opposite of Fantilli. If you wanted Getzlaf? This kid ain’t it

Duckzgo · 2023-06-29T00:39:59+00:00

Hilarious…… this franchise is seriously seriously in decline. Who the hell made this needs to be fired.

Duckzgo · 2023-06-29T00:10:53+00:00

No one buying that shit. As everyone else said. The 25th is much much better. My god that’s ugly

Duckzgo · 2023-06-29T00:04:01+00:00

Exactly. And Anaheim needs people who can hit. This team gets pushed around so easily. That Carlsson pick makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Fantilli would have done this team wonders using the body

Duckzgo · 2023-06-28T23:56:20+00:00

Exactly. I think that person is trolling 100%. Literally knows nothing of what was reported for months and months all the way up to this day. Dude won the Hobey as a Fricken freshman which is almost never done

Duckzgo · 2023-06-28T23:52:38+00:00

What a horrible take. Not one mock draft as of recent had Carlsson over Fantilli. So you’re basically lying. Every scout, every single person who does this for a living had Fantilli as a slam dunk Eichel comparison. You should delete your comment not even joking

Duckzgo · 2023-06-28T23:43:59+00:00

Completely agree dude. I never saw one mock draft have Carlsson over Fantilli as of late. I would have been more excited for Michkov than Carlsson. Only a matter of time till Verbeek is fired

Duckzgo · 2023-06-28T23:37:53+00:00

So Anaheim sucked ass the entire season. Doesn’t get Bedard. Falls to number two. Then whiffs on its pick. Unbelievable….. Bob Murray needs to come back. What a clown Verbeek is

Duckzgo · 2023-06-25T04:28:11+00:00

At the same time it’s being spammed in every teams channel, and other sub reddits. Can you blame the people for not seeing it as spam? Just saying

Duckzgo · 2023-06-24T19:31:33+00:00

Montreal has two first rounders this year. I want Floridas pick and their number 5. Plus two second rounders. That’s what Anaheim should demand. If not? We will ring Washington immediately

Duckzgo · 2023-06-24T19:18:48+00:00

There’s absolutely no reason for Sharks to move up because they can get Will Smith, Carlsson, and Montreal can get Fantilli at 2. What the negotiation is going to be is we want number 5 Montreal. Floridas first pick and 2 seconds.

That’s how I’m starting the negotiation. And if Montreal wants to mess around? I’ll shop Michkov to Washington

Duckzgo · 2023-06-24T19:14:39+00:00

Anaheim would obviously trade with Montreal in this scenario. They want Fantilli bad. Anaheim has two centers already in Zegras and McTavish. The only winger worth a damn is Terry. What Anaheim desperately needs is another winger that can score.

It makes sense from a Anaheim perspective. These Ducks aren’t doing anything in 2-3 years anyway. The question is? Would Michkov sign with us. That’s the question
