Cam Fowler for Wayne Simmonds
But for real - time for Bob Murray to go.... He's got to be held accountable for the mess he's created.
Kick Carlyle to the curb too... And Palumbo, it's BS the Ducks writer on this blog is the same as the Sharts...
Terry and Steel should have never been sent down, both of 'em were NHL ready at the start of the season. Randy did Steel no favors keeping him on the 4th line, when he would get PP time surrounded by players with higher skill sets he was dangerous. I would have liked to seen him audition on the wing in the top 6, kid has a small frame and maybe center won't be his niche with the big club (like Rakell). I'm also critical of Randy's audition with Terry, the kid seemed to either play on the top unit with Getz or be sent to the 4th line if not scratched. Give these kids an opportunity to find some chemistry before sending them to the jungle to gain some "confidence". Just saying, this team looked way better with these kids in the line-up (including Comtois) at the beginning of the season.
And why the hell hasn't Sherwood or Gibbons been moved back and forth to SD at all? Sure, they've had their bright moments but they aren't consistent contributors and 4th line grinders at best.

How was Terry ready? He played 6 games, was on the top line with Getz at times, and didn't score a point. He was clearly overmatched at the NHL level. Hopefully with AHL experience he's learned something.
Also, there's contract consequences with rookies depending on the # of games they play. Unless you're contributing big time, they're going to spend time in the AHL. Now the kids can come up, play, and not affect when they can become UFA eligible. It's the same reason Comtois has not rejoined the team. If he plays one more game with the Ducks, he'll be exposed to the expansion draft.
