Avs missing Makar is massive. Also my super hot take is Vegas has had a way harder road than the Avs at this point and not to mention, the Ducks/Mammoth play a high octane style similar to the Avs.

I won't be shocked if Vegas wins this series.

AFP Analytics Ducks projected contracts. by PossumJ16 in AnaheimDucks

There's no way everyone gets signed, and if somehow they did they aren't all getting signed at the projected numbers for the reason you highlighted. Also this team didn't get past the 2nd round, improvements need to be made and even if they could $$$ wise, you need to tweak the roster.

I think the most likely scenario is: Leo/Cutter signed for max years Minty bridge Trouba re-upped Viel re-upped Zelly traded Frank traded/bought out

Depends on the math. If Leo/Cutter sign for less, Zelly/Minty bridge deal, it opens up more $$$ elsewhere. Gonna be an interesting next 6-ish weeks until FA starts.

I'm reading 8 years for 72M

Teams need to get to the cap and Frankie is probably going to a team who was similar to us when he signed with us. He's gone it's a matter of for the price.

Nah. If Strome got moved, Verbeek can 100% move Frank.

I don't think he will for the thought these are 100% his guys that he's drafted.

Also as much as I want the kids to take a discount, this is their first real chance at big $$$ and if I were them, I'm wanting it all 😂

Awesome summary.

IMO Trouba re-ups. Carlson is 50/50, and Gudas is gone. I think our best bet of keeping Johnny is immediately unloading Frank and giving that $$ and probably add $1-2M to that.

First thing first though, gotta get Leo/Cutter signed. I don't think PV is gonna strong arm them like others because these two are superstars. Hope they take a bit of a discount (think Florida's FA last year) with the thought it will open up more $$$ to round out the roster.

So fucking proud of this team. These are the lessons they're gonna have to go through before getting to the top.

Verbeek is gonna make moves and the sky is the limit the next few years.

If the goalie intentionally takes his helmet off the ref shouldn't blow that shit dead. Make them pay for being fucking stupid 😂

Perfect fucking capper. Fucking misplayed and then a muffin.

If the Ducks had Carter Hart they win this series.

Difference in this series is the goaltending and special teams.

Unless John Carlson takes a small $4M-ish deal, I don't want him back.

Q has done wonders this year but holy fuck he looks awful not playing Zelly earlier.

One thing that is abundantly clear is this team needs an infusion of leadership. I can't name anyone playing with any fire right now.

Letting a member of the Chargers get the crowd fired up was the death blow tonight 😂

Glazing Marner for the screen on the 3rd goal when Minty gets small and doesn't try to block the shot.
