Through a series of (un)fortunate events, Travis Felts has been named the new General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks.
While on a classic pre-season bender current GM Bob Murray visited Vancouver Island to watch the Victoria Royals open their season with a 5-game homestand. He stopped in at Irish Times Pub for a pint of Guinness and had a chat with bartender Felts. When Felts asked why Murray choose to head to the island, the following conversation ensued:
GM BM: I really want to see how Brayden Tracey plays, he might be a future linemate of Zegras or McTavish.
Felts: But Tracey’s not playing here anymore… He turned pro and is on the Gulls..
GM BM: For fucks sakes.
Felts: And the NHL folded.. there is a PFHL Dispersal Draught coming up.
GM BM: What the hell is a Dispersal Draught?
Felts: Oh man.. *passes Murray a shot of Jameson* you have to pick a new team.
GM BM: What was the point in tanking, do I still have Zegras and McTavish?
Felts: No, still have Tracey though, so there’s that.
GM BM: *slams beer and whiskey* I gotta make a call.
Murray reportedly left the pub and smoked a cigar while on the phone with owners Henry and Susan Samueli. Felts accepted that the Ducks will continue to be a dumpster fire in the years to come, and that Murray had probably walked out on his bill. Hours later, Murray returned, pint of Guinness in hand, and approached the bar:
GM BM: Feltsy, you’re the GM of the Ducks now. *tosses a massive steel ring of keys to Felts* Murray out.
Murray walked out of the pub while slamming his beer. A few questions remain unanswered: Will Felts have what it takes to be General Manager of the Anaheim Ducks? Will he draft a competitive team or try to build a dynasty? Where did GM BM get that Guinness from out on the sidewalk? What the hell do the keys open?
