MJDDawg Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 He also threw out the first pitch at an Angels game. He's going to do great down there as he's no longer the big fish in the small pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Anaheim won't make the playoffs, lost too many players and have a rookie in goal They will make the playoffs but IMO they haven't improved from last year. Kesler + Heatley = Bonino + Perreault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If they felt Kesler was the same player as Bonino why did they trade for Kesler? Better than bonino, but they lost Perreault for nothing who is a 50 point player. And they added a useless Heatley. Kesler > Bonino = Perreault > Heatley.

DeNiro Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They will make the playoffs but IMO they haven't improved from last year. Kesler + Heatley = Bonino + Perreault They lost Selanne and Koivu as well. Bonino + Koivu>>>Kesler Selanne>>>Heatley It's pretty much a wash IMO, but the Ducks didn't need to get that much better. They're already a top team in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case they definitely got worse. They must really be expecting big things out of Smith-Pelly and Etem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 They lost Selanne and Koivu as well. Bonino + Koivu>>>Kesler Selanne>>>Heatley It's pretty much a wash IMO, but the Ducks didn't need to get that much better. They're already a top team in the West. Really underestimating Kesler. He wasn't brought in just to produce. Let's be real - the Ducks got a lot better with Kesler. Koivu at his age is nowhere near what Kesler can bring and Bonino will never be as good defensively as Kesler. They lost Selanne but they still have Maroon, Silfverberg, Palmieri, Smith-Pelley, Rackell and Etem. Also, they added Nate Thompson who gives them really good depth down the middle (Getzlaf - Kesler - Cogliano - Thompson is as good as any in this league). Looking at the talent Anaheim has on wing, scoring is clearly not the issue for them. What they needed was someone who can defend - someone they can throw out against the other team's top lines to shut them down so they can free up Getzlaf. That's Kesler - and he's proven that he can shut opponents down while producing decent secondary scoring. It's not even close to a wash because you can't compare top-notch quality (Kesler) with mere quantity (Koivu + Bonino). As you say, they were already a top team in the West, but when you're that good, even the tiniest improvement could be the difference between being a top team in the West (ANA) and the SC champions (LA). If Kesler remains healthy, ANA has a much better chance than this year and could probably go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
