Thread: pure delusion to ease the pain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CHAR</b></div><div>Pieces that fill in holes on the roster, which is intentionally vague. The Ducks are flush with high draft picks and top end prospects so you're going to have to give something other than that to pry a 30 goal / 60 point player off their roster

Let's look at your trade. Ducks don't need the Russian goal tender because they just signed Buteyets to his ELC. Reaves is a pure cap dump for the Leafs and completely redundant with Ross Johnston. Kampf is no better than Isac Lundestrom. The Ducks don't want any of those pieces.

I appreciate the response and honestly don't really have a rebuttal, I agree with pretty much anything. Only thing I will say is Gibson isn't going to be a part of the contending window either and Terry can be replaced. Assuming your prospects develop on schedule, you'll be in playoffs in 2-3 years and be serious contenders in 5. At that point, Marner is 32. I think that Marner will have greater longevity than JT considering his skillset. But I do agree that the cap dumps (Reaves, Kampf) aren't helpful for you, I just factored that into the price of the trade.</div></div>
