Anaheim Ducks: Buy, Try, Sigh, or Cry — Trade Deadline Edition

Rumors are a dime a dozen in the NHL, and with the trade deadline on the horizon, there’s quite a buzz surrounding the Anaheim Ducks.

Welcome back to another edition of “Buy, Try, Sigh or Cry.” Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the rumors surrounding the Anaheim Ducks prior to the trade deadline on February 25th (Next Monday). The team is somehow in an even more peculiar spot than they were during the last edition of “Buy, Try, Sigh, or Cry” (mid-season edition.)

There is now even more uncertainty and question marks surrounding this team. It makes for a lot of rumors, and a lot of speculation, but how many of these rumors have anything merit to them? How many of them will help out the team in the long run? How many are going to make us long for the days of inactivity?

Well, lucky for all of you, we’re going to break these rumors down. Before we do get started, let’s go ahead and do a quick recap of each rating. Each rumor will be broken down into one of four ratings: buy, try, sigh, or cry.

Buy: A rumor that is entirely plausible. It is something that is positive for the team and is a good thing.

Try: This would be something that is not likely to happen but would have a positive impact on the team if it did. It is also something Bob Murray should try to make happen.

Sigh:  A situation that would most likely negatively influence the team, but is not exactly likely to happen.

Cry: This would be something that is entirely plausible and is not good for the team. We can probably expect it to happen, but we all wish it wouldn’t.
