One of the defensemen you left out of the discussion is Beauchemin. He would fit behind Boyle as the number 2 rather nicely. The further the Ducks get in the playoffs, the higher his value gets as well, but it’ll be interesting if Niedermayer comes back to see whether Beauchemin is content being a number 3 guy. Or does Montreal throw a ton of money his way to make him a number 1, and let Komiserek go.
The Ducks have too many good D to remember them all :-).
And I personally wouldn’t rather have Beauchemin than Komisarek, but I know how much the Quebecois love the French-Canadians…
I think the issue would not be Doug Wilson’s interest in either Beauchemin or Komisarek, but the Sharks inability to lure any top-level UFA to San Jose. This topic I’m sure will be hit on further as the weeks go.
