Fire Pat Verbeek

Henry & Susan Samueli: Please fire Pat Verbeek.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

Leo Carlsson should have been the Ducks #1 organizational task the moment he became extension eligible. No excuses. No games. No leverage battle.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

@talk_angels Ducks should have signed Leo before July 1. They’ve had over a year to get a deal done, but Verbeek refused to negotiate during the season.

This is Verbeek’s MO. See Terry, Drysdale, Zegras, McTavish, and now Carlsson, Gauthier, and Mintyukov.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

Ducks fans have every right to be furious.

Leo Carlsson is the kind of player bad teams spend years trying to find. Anaheim found him - and then somehow let the contract situation become a five-alarm fire.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

@b161750 Not true. Verbeek refused to negotiate with Leo during the season.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

A competent GM does not allow the most important player in the organization to become the subject of an offer sheet war.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

“Where was that eagerness to extend Carlsson last July 1 or thereafter when the first opportunity to do so was available? It would have been a large number but not $18 million. Probably nowhere near that.”

[Eric Stephens @IcemanAthletic]

An $18 million AAV offer sheet to Leo Carlsson is nuts. And the Ducks, finally relevant again, must match it at all costs. My column.🔓

The rub: if this $13 mil contract was offered a year ago, during the season, or maybe even four days ago, I'm fairly confident (from the outside) that it gets done

Can't blame Carlsson for signing the OS and not wanting to grind at a deal like his former teammates

@justinritzel @anaheimd_memes He actively interviews for GM positions with other teams.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

Keeping Leo Carlsson is mandatory.

Accountability should be mandatory too.

@Stryker84 Verbeek should lose his job either way. This situation was easily avoidable.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

@AGretz @pushead2 Spot on.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

@MHeise10 @pushead2 This is the correct decision.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

If the Samuelis want Ducks fans to believe this organization is serious, they need to hold Pat Verbeek accountable.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

If the Ducks match, Pat Verbeek still botched it.

Matching after being forced into a panic contract is not good management.

Good management would have prevented the offer sheet circus in the first place.

[Zach Cavanagh @ZachCav]

This was the nightmare scenario playing in the background all season long for the Anaheim Ducks, and it was entirely avoidable.

Pat Verbeek should not survive this Leo Carlsson situation.

[Fire Pat Verbeek @FireVerbeek]

Fire Verbeek?

Do you miss me?

Roger McQueen. Steal of the draft.

@luscious_luke21 Nikolaj Ehlers would look good in Anaheim…
