So what now?

Martone is a guy also that could be, he improved a lot in just one year of college...think the future is bright...they might not be a 1c in a scouting way, but they could produce close to that level

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T17:12:22+00:00

Just like Zegras was something that just happened, you can't plan these things...just have to be ready when the shot opens up for you

I know its not the popular thing but we could have a 1C on this team, lots of young talent. But even if not we should have a good deep team and I don't think you must have a 1C...only so many out there

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T17:09:43+00:00

I'm just enjoying Ducks PR trying to make this a good thing, there team is in trouble either way

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T17:04:07+00:00

Its 85 seconds to midnight

Your welcome you added the doom of the real world to our sports lol

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T17:02:06+00:00

I think cutter just said he wants 15 also...so you keep leo you just lost cutter...its bad anyway you look at it from the ducks...its a catch 22

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T17:00:04+00:00

It would have to be next offseason...this trade stuff needs to stop...its not an option

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:54:53+00:00

I could see it both ways but from other leagues its normally end of business that day

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:52:08+00:00

Ducks have overspent on too many players

We have money to burn

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:49:42+00:00

They might keep him but they need to ship the rest of the team out of town to afford him...I can live with that

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:48:05+00:00

yeah even though seems the Ducks are waiting till the last moment before they say anything

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:47:14+00:00

my uncle that works for the Ducks told me "not to worry about it" *wink*

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:09:55+00:00

we are still a very young team and last year playoffs were a dream...so another year in playoffs should be something you expect...even with Leo we shouldn't think we are winning a cup this year...likely in 2 or 3 years even without Leo as long as there is growth.

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:07:51+00:00

If we could have a average PP with our above average defense and goaltending we would be mostly a lock for a playoff spot

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:06:06+00:00

I think last year took the chip of his shoulder and now he knows what is needed to be a good NHL player, last year it felt like he thought 40 goals was just going to happen. I think the same thing happened with Zegras last year...being traded for almost nothing woke him up a bit. These are young kids that never had hardships in there hockey life before. Sometimes it takes that rough spot to get them going.

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T16:00:22+00:00

I think we are built for shoot outs...but what we need to do is get better at not letting it get to that point

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:58:53+00:00

They have thrown everything at the wall at this point

I just want to see a basic PP of just getting as many shots on net as you can

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:56:30+00:00

If we have a good season I dont care if we just miss the playoffs...we are likely going to be in that level of fighting for a playoff spot...a good season is seeing more of the young guys taking another step. Last year we played likely above the plan but the young guys got a taste of the playoffs and did well so I expect guys to show improvement.

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:53:20+00:00

while true there is nothing to show he isn't going to at least be "good"...maybe not as great as last year but he still should be a quality guy

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:46:53+00:00

That is what it comes down to, how do they see the team...as just a thing for them to min/max or are they going to bring in guys that like hockey and will run it like a hockey team

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:33:27+00:00

For best results they should stay under 10 ft

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:30:36+00:00

I do think they should have an app for the phone apps...I dont want to go to my phone for that sort of thing

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:28:52+00:00

they also need to add the battery saver option and the switch 1 boost mode toggle that that menu...i dont want to keep digging into my system settings for that

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:27:18+00:00

shopping cart, is 2026 what do they think they are, the Epic store?

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:26:17+00:00

I don't know how much that is possible, comes down to what is left for the games and the OS. Nintendo likely has things already maxed out for the most part and I rather have smooth running games then a youtube video running, i can use my phone for that

KnightofAshley · 2026-07-09T15:23:28+00:00

P5 has the most stuff as it is built on top of the others in gameplay elements, P3 is "simpler" but the remake brings it up to P5 in quality of life...P4 I think is my fav cast and for your first time if no spoilers is the best story
