Ducks Anaheim Ducks Waive Mason Raymond

Looks like changes are occurring quickly for the Ducks. We will see what happens with that veteran group but a former Flame who is still on the payroll for this season and next is on his way to the AHL.

Always interesting to see how quickly some guys fall out of this league.

Too bad that Raymond never lived up to his good start, but soft players with speed as their only asset have to bring other things to the table, either production or be a top defensive player/penalty killer. Raymond does neither.

No not really but crapping on home town athletes is not a great look IMO.

Agreed.
The look of this board in general is piss-poor lately.

Who cares. He whined when he was bought out and took zero responsibility and basically blamed Hartley.

He should have manned up and maybe he would have gotten some respect around here.

Better use the kid gloves for those Cochrane types.

Just a shame that Mason wasn't the same player after that serious back injury that he suffered in the 2011 SCF against the Bruins.

I have a hard time calling someone in his 30s a 'kid.'

Hes the same age as me.

I don't think anyone is crapping on him because he is from Cochrane, more so because he sucked for the Flames (also see Grossman, Wideman, Butler, etc.)

Refusing to look at home-town players with a critical eye would be much worse IMO

Who cares where he's from? He's a bad hockey player that didn't so much as earn a dollar of his contract with the Flames.
