good riddance gauthier
jonesy and briere said this has been an ongoing saga, not an overnight thing.
made the deal while his value was at his highest, and it makes sense coming off the wjc.
he didn't want to be here, doesn't sound like too many people within the org are too bent out of shape about it. torts said it best, we don't want you. sanheim relayed the same type message.
i know absolutely nothing about the kid from Anaheim. right handed d man. 6th overall pick in 2020. plus a 2nd.
as for this season, it has been enjoyable to say the least(minus tonight).
torts has these guys playing hard. both goalies have been good, tk been good. glad to see tippett playing well also.
after the world championship they found out about it so its been quite a while
drysdale sounds like a decent 2 way d man they think they can fine tune into a top pairing guy hes been averaging 21 mins for the ducks and over 138 games or whatever career hes at like 19 mins average
torts said hes getting powerplay time right away so hopefully he can get that going a bit better
i like this trade the potential to seriously win this deal is there adding an nhl player that fits the core in drysdale and then the bonus 2nd that could be another carter hart or something
it also leaves the option to deal somebody like walker and not go into full on tank mode by leaving a gaping hole in your defense and saying fuck you to the guys if they are in the mix for playoffs come deadline
