[Gibbons] En tenant compte de Luneau, Anaheim compte actuellement 8 défenseurs que l’on s’attendrait à voir sur la liste. Il faut que quelque chose cède. LaCombe a probablement le plus de valeur en dehors des intouchables (Minty et Zelly).

Zellweger to a wing, vaakanainen to bench warmer. And we’re done
Never a bad problem to have. Even if Luneau starts the season in the AHL. Injuries are going to happen.
Meh, competition is good. Dumoulin is on the last year of his contract and Radko & Cam both have one year after that. Then you factor in injuries… 8 defensemen with half of them being young prospects is not the log jam this makes it sound like.
That’s just standard depth. Injuries will happen.
Is nobody expecting injuries lol we’re prone to something happening so I ain’t worried
Obviously not a bad problem to have and maybe if they want to make a deal you can include LaCombe
Dumoulin can be waived and sent down if everyone is healthy and playing as needed. We need his cap hit more than his defense. Also Luneau probably needs a bit more AHL time and Zellwegger too if we are really taking our time to develop him. I suspect we will see a 6/7th man right handed defenseman signed before this is over.
Luneau hasn’t played since December. I would say it’s best to get him some minutes in San Diego before worrying about jamming him into the lineup.
After that a 7 dman rotation is perfectly acceptable in todays NHL, nothing to panic about
Luneau needs at least half a season in the AHL. Defensemen can’t be rushed. Vaks is being paid like a seventh guy, and as well as he played, that’s probably where he’s at. I’m not sure what the controversy is here.
Package him for McGroarty?
