I'm not here to make friends, I don't give a shit about your feelings if you're intellectually dishonest and exploiting empathy to push idiotic ideology. Sorry not sorry.
@TLawClears@mashedparaykos If you actually cared you wouldn't go to the games! Empty seats would make more of a statement than donating money but we both know your virtue signaling stops at actual concessions 😂
@JeffFavignano@_forsakenknight It's not dying. It's actually resurging. Because digital fucking sucks and these decisions are a big reason why. The same exact thing that happened with Vinyl. It went away because of new shiny toy, people realized new toy is dogshit and went back. Both CDs and DVDs saw uptick
@PREPPYPINK711@Awk20000 Which material would you prefer to pivot to the one where he said America deserves 9/11? The one where he's directly called for the murder of multiple people by name, the one where he paid for sex at a brothel with underage children, or said raping white women isn't as bad?
@MiaTruth1@BKSportsTalk You know who else was traded for the exact same reasons? Trevor Zegras. He would have been 2nd on the Ducks in scoring last season.
@7rashPandaa@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks I haven't ever seen anyone question Zellys hockey IQ so that would surprise me. Ducks gave up on Zegras early and he lit it up, Drysdale played great down the stretch after we moved him too. Not saying they don't know better but this trade is nearly identical to Montour. Went bad
@BrianLindones1@IamScottSinger1 Congrats, they were almost the 4th best loser! Such an accomplishment! Hang the banner.
I was obviously referring to the trade. Where they got a 4th liner and a pick they wasted on a bottom 6 forward for a guy who would have been 2nd on the Ducks in scoring. Great move
@IamScottSinger1@BrianLindones1 He had a shortened off-season because of contract holdout. You know who did the same and had a similar bad season after? Trevor Zegras. Verbeek sold him extremely low and how'd that work out?
@SDeansly@gregbeacham Mintyukov is the only defender in their prospect pool who is one of their "best young players". They have 2 good NHL defenders currently and about 4 good prospects in the organization right now.
@7rashPandaa@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks Trade a young defender who played well when given ice time, for a pick that's not even being used until tomorrow, and a dime a dozen bottom 6 prospect. Just seems like a move that didn't need to happen today, if someone awesome is there at 45 make the trade then. 🤷🏻♂️
@7rashPandaa@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks All good. Mistakes happen. Helleson is trash, yet is currently slotted into a top 4 slot on the Ducks roster and the only hope outside of an acquisition to not have that happen is a player who's never played a season in the NHL. That's scary, and why I don't understand rushing to
@7rashPandaa@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks I think it's wishful thinking to think he's that close tbh. He's 20, and extremely raw. Defensemen take longer to develop, especially big ones and their prime is typically not until after they're 25. Lacombe looked mediocre until he was almost 24. I think he'll be good. Not soon
@gablebrandon@18Voltz@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks By what metric is Hinds better at defending? Tangible metric not your feelings. Don't worry I'll wait.
Wait you said Solberg is better now? Why you back tracking?
@7rashPandaa@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks Oh and additionally if that's the reasoning then why the fuck would Buffalo trade for a LHD when they have Power and Dahlin who are both leagues better than any defenseman in the Ducks franchise? 😂 Literally retarded
@NIT_THE_TRIT@angelfan7@NHL_Muse Don't listen to the other person. He clearly hasn't watched Byram play if he thinks that comparison is wrong. I'd argue Zellweger will be better than Byram. He's not nearly as injury prone, is a better skater and will light it up offensively
@gablebrandon@18Voltz@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks 😂 there's not a single person on the fucking planet who actually watches hockey who thinks either Solberg or Hinds is better than Zellweger right now. Solberg was useless in the playoffs in the fkn AHL and Hinds played in 3x as many playoffs games and had 1/2 the pts of Zelly 😂
@Spud_Almighty@AnaheimDucks What are u talking about have more than enough dmen. the Ducks have Jackson Lacombe, Helleson, Luneau, Mintyukov and Hinds. That's it. You seriously think the Ducks have enough when they have 2 NHL caliber defensemen in their entire system currently? I'll have what ur smoking 😂
