v3n Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Murray said he would like to improve the center position. Anaheim was close to getting Ryan Keslerof the Vancouver Canucks at the NHL Trade Deadline, but Murray didn't want to offer any current player on his roster to get Kesler.I'll offer as much for certain pieces as I did at the trade deadline. I definitely tried very hard to add something and it didn't work, and we offered a lot. Source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=719946&navid=nhl:topheads What do you all think? What do you think was in the deal to get it done? The ducks have some good young guys I'd want like devante smith pelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So they asked Kesler to waive and he said yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v3n Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 So they asked Kesler to waive and he said yes? I'm guessing they might have ahead of time so they could shop him. Why else would you shop a player with a NTC. I'm more interested in what the offer was.... and why MG turned it down. I'm guessing if they weren't gonna give us a current roster player, then I'd turn it down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 im guessing the offered ottawa first and etem/or maybe vatanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3n Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Anyone know if the Ducks even have any good prospects worth anything? Now with the ducks out, I'm guessing they are more willing to give up a roster player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Obviously didn't try hard enough, Bob. And now you're watching while LA's still in it. But congrats on the extension despite that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Anyone know if the Ducks even have any good prospects worth anything? Now with the ducks out, I'm guessing they are more willing to give up a roster player. The Ducks have a lot of prospects worth something. Rakell, Etem, W.Karlsson, Theodore, Vatanen, etc. If we could get Rakell, Etem, pick I'd be all over that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Not sure how legitimate this is but if it is, Ryan Kesler will be traded at the Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canorth Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You actually misquoted the quote "I don't think...I'll offer as much for certain pieces as I did at the trade deadline" - Murray That is why we like sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Is B Murray related to Bryan or Terry? Surprised to see he played D for Van in the '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Murray's on the sauce, it's the only reason I can think of. Non roster players for a top 2 way centre on a great contract. Caman Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I want Ryan to have a legitmate shot at winning the cup. And I want us to grab another guy in the top 10. Etem was a high end draft pick and worked well with Shinaruk. That plus the #10 would put us in a great spot to get Virtanen as well as one of Ehler, Nylander and Ritchie. Etem , 10th plus their 1st in 2015 does it for me. Its a win for Kesler , the Ducks, and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlaBAM Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Done... happy cry baby! You messed up the quote, it's a reason people want sources because people like you don't know how to read apparently. I highly doubt they were anywhere near Kesler, I doubt MG would have pulled the trigger without getting at least a young roster player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I think gilles wanted a roster player just to fill the gap let by kesler because lets face it who would have been are second line centre, Mathais? Schroder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 well if it almost happened during the trade deadline then it should for sure happen in the offseason. especially since the ducks didn't reach expectations and they are loosing selanne.

Dogbyte Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I am in a timewarp, this is old news isn't it? I could live with the 10th but I think we can get something a lot better than Etem. I have some doubts about him. I would want more for Kesler, that Pouliot from Pitt and their first would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
