Could Lack Of Big Signings Haunt the Ducks?

Once again, the Anaheim Ducks come up mostly empty-handed in the free agent frenzy leaving the patience of Ducks fans growing thinner with each rebuilding season. JD Hernandez talks about the big swings GM Pat Verbeek took on day one of free agency... only to leave without signing any big names to the Ducks. Did the Ducks dodge a bullet by not overpaying right now? Also, we welcome back a couple more Ducks to the roster, and talk about the players the Ducks DID sign in free agency. Also, the Ducks made a couple trades to round out their roster... and just get above the cap floor. Is it possible the Ducks aren't done yet?

Over paying for old players with a long term contract would have hurt the Ducks for many years to come. Develop the young talent and when the time is right add some veterans. If the young guys play up to their potential the Ducks will be fine. Terry needs to earn his contract.

[@AnaheimRob]

Glad the Ducks didn't pick up any contracts for aging players even if they are still pretty good. It is time to see what the young guns can really do. There are a couple of rookies that deserve big minutes as well. Next year the free agent market will be better and if the Ducks improve enough they might be able to gain the interest of a couple of high-end players for many playoff runs to come.

Players don’t wanna come to a team that is not a contender, especially the older players they don’t want to come to Anaheim since the team is not a contender

[@ronwright5234]

Do we have a prospect defenseman on the right side who can make the team this year like a 6'5"" + defenseman

[@AnaheimRob]

Tristan Luneau will probably make the team this year. He isn't 6'5", but he is a very solid two way right shot Defenseman.

[@LivingNed]

@@AnaheimRob His development took a hit last year, he didn't play a whole lot because of the injury and then the viral infection so I'm not convinced he'll be ready, he might need another year of seasoning.

[@jesusg.7428]

Ducks won't be go until the 25-26 season based on the draft picks made since Veerbek became the GM.

[@LivingNed]

Nope but overpaying those free agents would have.

[@foxhoundoz4183]

Too much focus around the ducks not signing the big fish, honestly, i think its good for them not to be signing players for the sake of signing.

[@retflo2583]

Nope, no patience PV needs to put his big boy pants on and find a trade for a player to move this team off 50 pts an a top 5 pick...
