McTavish has a sprained ankle and won’t be able to practice for a while, per Elliott Teaford. And the 2021 season is off and running!

Well, talk about things getting worse for Eichel. Reports now that he’ll miss the Olympics. Huge blow to Team USA also. This may have just gift wrapped another gold to Canada.

Weger-Bomb!

Perreault needs to stop putting himself in position to take bad hits

Oh dear lord. Hope it’s not serious

Yeah, it should be streamed through the Ducks website. Gonna miss it but hopefully it's more of the same result as Friday's game.

David better watch out. Sasha is going to be the new Pasta!

I see what you are saying. He's been breaking up plays really well so far.

Hunter Drew with a little toe-drag snipe

This might be the most hopeful I am all season! Pasta, Sweet baby Zegras and the McMan all with goals in the first period. Zellweger skating showed and waiting on Tracey to show me anything,

Any rumblings about Tracey? Don’t know if he’s skating yet due to an injury but he’s one of the players that I really want to see how he does this season.

Could be a Weekend at Bernie’s situation going on then

Ducks signed Tobias Reider to a PTO, so at least we know that Murray has not completely vanished into the Upside Down

I'd feel the same way if I were Eichel coming to Anaheim lol. Agree with d-law that the trade makes no sense for Buffalo unless they are going to flip Gibson for more futures for their rebuild. Also, this doesn't make sense for the Ducks if the point is to make a push for playoffs sooner rather than later. They are still going to be heavily dependent on goaltending to do that and there is no replacement or stop gap if Gibson is gone. Gibson has a 10 team no-trade list also and I don't think it would be a shock if Buffalo was on it.

If Ristolainen didn't bring back the 14 OA, 2nd and a depth defender then I'd agree. If he's worth that then Manson is worth at least a first, IMO. Murray's bromance for Manson might have him overvaluing him. With Arizona, they brought in a new GM in Armstrong who is changing course and building the team he wants. Arizona wasn't going to compete for a Cup whether they kept Garland, Dvorak or not. Garland was due a significant raise and they shed OEL's contract, so I can see why Arizona is going scorched earth in shedding salary and loading up assets in a deep draft. At least they have a clear direction and logic for what they are doing. As far as Fowler, I would want to keep him but not both him and Lindholm. If you can move Fowler and re-sign Lindholm, then I am fine with that. The Penguins will say that they are financially distressed in 2023 and they'll land Bedard, just like they did Lemieux and Crosby. Maybe if the Samuelis plead poverty then then Gary will but some loaded ping pong balls in our favor! I'm more surprised that the Red Wings haven't won a draft lottery or had a top-3 pick given their recent history.
