Jeff Malott

Uh, AJ Greer signs a new contract, which I imagine, uh, they would've thought about, uh, s- differently under different circumstances if they knew [laughs] what was coming down the pipe from Danny Briere.

Uh, they, uh, uh, gave a three-year contract to Jeff Malott, formerly of, uh, correct me if I'm wrong, the LA Kings.

Uh, and I think Nick Jensen was the other big signing.

And other than that-

Anaheim didn't play any of their projected top six forwards in this game against the Kings.

They did play five of their six bottom six forwards, guys like Frank Patrano, Ryan Poehling, Tim Waeschle, Sam Colangelo, and former King Jeff Malott.

On defense, the Ducks had two of their expected starting defensemen in the line-up in Pavel Mintchukov and Tristan Luneau.

And the Kings did, or excuse me, the Ducks did go with their number one goalie in Lukas Dostal.

I could totally foresee him being north of twelve million bucks as well, so, uh, in an AAV with an extension.

There's gonna be some-- I mean, even Jeff-- We had Mike Malott on.

I mean, even Jeff Malott, a completely unproven player, uh, you know, getting, you know, a, a two hundred percent increase in salary at one point eight million.

Greer got four point-- They spent some money in that, and they got lucky.

Yep.

And then on the fourth line, Daily Faceoff has Jeff Malott, Tim Washi, and Sam Colangelo.

I think Malott is on the team because they just signed him.

Tim Washi is obviously on the team.

Work with what you got.

I think that the big thing for me with the Brad Lambert situation is that maybe the there's some logic behind like you said a the speed element being brought to that line or whatever but then also b looking internally at when brad lambert has been most successful in this organization and understanding that it was the jeff malott year right that was the year that brad lambert never saw the ice basically once away from jeff malott they were playing together brad lever was the center and jeff malott was a winger but had some more of the center kind of responsibilities and was a little bit more of the adam lowry type And when they played together, that was the most successful that Brad Levert has ever been in his pro career.

So maybe they're trying to replicate that.

So I'm interested.

It was fun to watch.

A.J. Greer, Jeff Malott, you know, these types of players.

Colangelo as well.

Colangelo might be one that, you know, when it comes down to it, Klepov's the guy who takes the spot.
