Who's leaving for The Athletic, Greif or Alger?

 

Alger.

 

Anyone know anything on these?

 

I’m confused. The Athletic hired a Ducks writer? Is it a combined beat with LA Kings? Not sure Anaheim deserves its own beat

 

Not sure if trolling but... wrong Ducks

 

Don't engage this goofball. He shows up every couple of days and posts stupid shit, trying to be funny. He isn't.

 

They are in the process of scheduling interviews for finalists.

 

You’re one of the most overrated No. 2 draft picks of my lifetime and you aren’t half the talent of your father. Be thankful you have two Super Bowl rings and be kind to others.
