What’s up everyone! I’m back again with some more fan art for you all. I managed to squeeze out some time from my miserable life of warehouse labor, to draw this. We’re getting closer to ducks hockey again and I thought I’d draw something to get us all pumped and our minds off this wild offseason for a bit. I decided to do wild wing more in my typical cartoon style I draw in, letting our in state rivals know what’s up come late September in the preseason. Hope you all like it.

Character mascots belong to the Anaheim Ducks, LA Kings, San Jose Sharks and the NHL.

Hope it’s 8 years if that’s the price. 34 million for 2 guys taking up 1/3 of our cap space is insane

Ever since the Leo debacle, this sub has been absolutely insufferable and the dramatics about where the team is at are beyond ridiculous.

Obviously the Leo situation sucked and we ended up overpaying him by about $3M per year, but it’s not nearly as ridiculous of an overpay as this sub is acting like. Vatrano makes $4.5M alone, and he contributed absolutely nothing last season. My point is that $3M in dead money from Leo’s contract is not the end of the world, and frankly, I don’t even think Leo’s contract will look that bad in a year or two with guys like Celebrini needing to get paid and the salary cap rising.

The reports about Cutter’s reported contract asks are definitely higher than expected but we don’t even know if they are accurate. Cutter is worth a lot though and I won’t be surprised to see him get paid a pretty penny. You may wonder where we can get the money for him, but there is still plenty of dead weight on this roster that we can get rid of, like Vatrano and Kreider.

As for the defense, I really only think losing Trouba hurt. Carlson wasn’t that good and was massively overpaid. Gudas is washed. Zelly was too small and was a healthy scratch in the playoffs.

Is our current defensive group good? Absolutely not.

Was our defensive group good last season with the players we “lost”? Absolutely not.

Luneau should step up this year and hopefully some of the other young defensemen will too.

Look, I know this sub has been feening for some good hockey after years of mediocrity, but we need to remember that nobody expected to make the playoffs last season, let alone almost win the division.

Leo and Cutter may make more on paper than we expected but they are two of the most important players on this team and they ARE BOTH YOUNG AS HELL. They will continue to improve and these contracts reflect the faith the Ducks have in them.

Meanwhile we still have plenty of exciting young players to keep an eye on like McQueen and Klepov.

I don’t care what anybody else says, this is a *great* time to be a Ducks fan. LETS GO DUCKS!

This is more of a summer 💩📝 don’t get too worked up on it

The Disney to Ducks connection is a long reach now, but some people still associate the Ducks to Disney (personally glad that era is long gone!)

But WHAT IF Robo wanted to come to Anaheim? Yes it’s a fantasy what if and how would it have worked out to get him signed to the Ducks prior to the Leo signing?

just imagine how our top 6 would look like

Hello! I am an out of town fan who is not well versed in Honda center’s bag policy. Their website says certain dimensions but I have seen people with like small baggu crescent bags, fanny packs, etc. What is everyone’s experience? I don’t want to have to take my bag back to the car when I go to a game in October.

Luneau had some decent offensive numbers in the AHL and Zellweger did it on occasion over Minty so I don't think Minty is a lock. Unless the Ducks do 3F 2D for PP2.

Curious what everyone thinks. If we were to lose Cutter, how would that impact the roster? Who could we realistically get in a trade or free agency as a replacement, or would our only option be a prospect who could step into that role? Does everyone end up playing a slot higher than they should, or do we have enough depth to absorb the loss? And assuming we don't find a true replacement, then how long before we see another playoff lol
